    Guys, I'll be purchasing a 360 soon and it's going to go to a dealer. I live in Rochester NY. I can drive to Toronto in 2.5 hours or NYC in 5.5 hours. I've had dealings with Ontario in the past, they did a few majors on my fathers 360 years ago. Anyone have any recommendation? Stick with the shorter drive, or go to NYC? Or possibly even Pennslyvania dealer ... Ideas?

    What about Wide World of Cars in Spring Valley? I wouldn't buy a car outside the US if I lived in the US.

    I'd try Miller Motor Cars in CT or Wide World in Spring Valley.

    Sorry my post was unclear. I'm buying the car from a private seller, I only need the dealer for an authorized service. I'm trying to stay close to home for service. Thanks

    I would probably keep it local and in the country. I might buy parts from across the border.. but I wouldn't take my car across for repair. If anything happens.. how will insurance work? Will you have the same protections as in the US?

    Why not an independent mechanic? Are you absolutely intent on taking it to a stealership for repairs? Is "authorized repair that important out of warranty?

    I would opt of independent mechanic close to home . Transportation to him if the car is undriveable and make a relationship with him

    Ferrari of Ontario does not like Canadians with former US cars, so not sure how they will welcome an American with a US car. They should welcome with open arms and be happy to do the service work, but...who knows. Daytona Auto in Toronto is the independent in the city that has the mechanic who used to work in the factory and was from Schumacher's F1 team for years. Daytona comes highly recommended.
