    Just picked up my 2008 612 pre-oto with 17k miles from Euro Cars in Costa Mesa a few hours ago. What a great drive home to San Diego. Thanks Harry, great experience. Glad to be part of the group.


    The car came with a VIP picture book. Do all Ferrari's come with those?

    Congrats and I wish you good luck with the car.

    However, without some pics, it didn't happen. ;)

    Yes that is the color. The Daytona seats feel like a barco lounger. Now I just have to figure out how to set the damm clock

    great buy - love argent0 - if you have some money left over to burn consider the challenge wheels from the OTO - those red calipers will jump out!!!

    I need to find a 2008 owners manual set. Any recommendations other than eBay?

    It will help if you get the factory owners manual. You can download one from the official Ferrari owners site. The date and time are typically accessed through the left side TFT display, unless you have the optional Bose sound system. You will then need the Bose sound system manual and set the date and time on the radio. It is fairly complicated.

    Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Congratulations!!!

    I joined the Ferrari club in February with my ‘07 612 Scaglietti HGTC. Silverstone/Cuoio.

    One FCA Concours, one group drive through Idaho and Montana, and 3000 miles later it’s about to head into storage until next Spring:(

    Not an issue in San Diego I would imagine:)

    Enjoy it in good health. Best car I have ever driven. As my first Ferrari I could not be more impressed with the 612.

    Owned it for a week, 500 miles done. XM fixed (why would you put a solid core wire on a flex point?) headed back up to Euro Car on Friday for PPI issues that they agreed to resolve as part of sale. Just an awesome car.

    Make sure to keep the battery fully charged at all times - otherwise you'll get all sorts of scary fake news like "alternator malfunction". And upgrade to 20" wheels (599 or 458)! Enjoy
