    If they were smart they would open their doors to servicing u.s Ferrari's but they don't.

    Bring it to Forza. 416-239-9913

    I've heard of them being that way but I also know of some f owners (u.s. Models) who go there with no problems. We will have to see.

    I paid FoO for compliance and recall letter ($8k after tax), they service the car when I want and I get invites to the Grand Opening/California debut, dinners, special events, etc.

    I still managed (at that time) to save a substantial amount as well.

    Forza's just as capable if not more and won't charge you as much.
    Just like to see people save some dough.

    Wow, so they are not going to service my car? What excuse would they be using? Has anyone else tried before? We'll have to see what they say.

    Yes, a few friends of mine have recently purchased F cars, and Porsches from the US. FoO will definitely give you a strange look if you bring in a US car.

    Its a "grey area" where the OEM dealer does not want to be responsible for a product which was not bought by them. We are not talking about a Chevy or KIA here, where dealers and service are all standardized....its a different ball game when dealing with High end and high performance cars. My friends ended up going to Daytona, Engineered Auto and various other local shops... and had only good remarks to say about them.

    360 in auto-trader 2000,27,800K, $87,000 not loaded or red but the asking price says it all,newer Ferrari's are just fast used cars that's whats happens when you have 17,000+ 360 to chose from, having said that i would still love to get a 360cs.

    I did not know that... I've never heard of Engineered Auto, could we start a poll on which shops have the Ferrari service capabilities... And rate the experience with each? I know of Daytona and Forza... Anything else?

    Congrats F0430z!

    Great Car, Great Value!

    Canadian Sellers can keep their overpriced Cars! I don't even Search Canada Anymore......just a waste of time.

    Thank you for Posting your Experience.

    I noticed that too.

    They are too Damn Close.........the options are identical, including the Aftermarket wheels.

    Nothing in the Original Pics confirms that it is a F1. If f0430z would like to post a pic of his interior it would clear all this up.

    Again........I could be wrong.

    Hey Ron a couple of differences... Mine does not have rear Challenge grill (yet) my interior is tan with black stripes in Daytona, I've got Tubi and it's an F1. I will post photos later on tonight.
