    Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum, and I'm considering a Speciale purchase. One of the Speciales that I'm looking at was a Ferrari press/demo car before it was sold to its current owners, and the car had around 3000 miles while being a press/demo car, and it currently has 7000 miles.

    I know that a press car is normally driven very hard, but the car does have the New Power warranty and all the service records, which looks okay to me, so would there be any big risks if I buy the car?

    I intend to keep the car long term, but do want to have the option of resale without taking a huge hit.

    Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks in advance!

    The price matters. However, I've been searching for a few months for a driven Speciale in the U.S. I see no reason to pay a premium for a sub 10k miles example that I'm going to put 40k miles on. The trouble is that they don't seem to exist. There appears to be no drivers Speciale's on the market yet. My take is that if the press car is only "story" car out there, you should be good. Hopefully you put 20k miles on it and then sell it to me. :-D

    Press car equals very high selectively chose in spec.
    Drivin equals well sorted and likely taken care of with at least fluid changes.
    New power warranty takes risk hours of being on represented or hidden major problems.

    No real downside if as mentioned the price reflects the miles

    Do check if the car was ever repainted
