    What year F8 ? The model started 2020. We are in 2023 so the car will have only a small proportion of the full manufacturers warrantee.

    Can I suggest since you are buying it from a Ferrari dealer DEMAND the 4 and 5 th year full factory warrantee be included in the sale. Obviously free of charge.

    DO NOT WASTE your time on power warrantee as its useless and only has any value after 7 years.

    DO NOT ASSUME that you will have no issues REGARDLESS of being approved by Ferrari.

    OH get a new battery and a starter ;) Enjoy your car.

    it’s a 2021 so there will be probably a little less than one year remaining on the bumper to bumper. Does anyone know how much it is per year to extend the bumper to bumper factory warranty?

    This has been a LONG discussion in another thread. In Florida, the warranty price is regulated and it’s $5995 for years 4 and 5. Other states can sell for what they want- dealer cost is $4900.

    I just extended bumper to bumper last week on my Portfino and it was 10,900 plus tax for 2 years extension. I’ll be dealing with my F8s warranty next year. The 2 year extension will be the same for the F8s if you already own the car. The 5995 is if you are purchasing the car pre owned at that time. This info is from F Tampa according to the service manager 5 minutes ago.

    Yes that’s correct. Sorry I wasn’t clear about ‘at time of purchase CPO from a Ferrari dealer’— other than that situation, yes, the price is as stated above.

    So if added at time of purchase is it 5995 for an additional 2 years or 5995 per year?

    At time of purchase 5995 for 2 years is my understanding on a CPO F car.

    remember, that's only the number for Florida because Florida is the only state that regulates warranty pricing.... other states will sell for much more.
     
  10. I think you should just buy a Pista.

    Signed the docs and took her home. I went ahead and added year 4 and 5 to the new car warranty. She is a 2021 with 1800 miles. Rosso Scuderia with an original MSRP of over 350. Will post some pic’s tomorrow.

    I much prefer the F8 to the 488
    Performance aside, love the rear on the f8 over the 488s.

    Having owned the 458 and never driving a 488, the F8 feels like a 458 that will be your ***

    I also like the turbo noise it makes

    Agreed. Maybe it looks better than the 488. That wasn’t the point. I just said it has less brand recognition styling to it. It could just as easily be a Maserati or mclaren, as a Ferrari. And the spacey futuristic, cyborg styles aren’t my personal favorite body styles. It’s a blurry line where exotic cars start to look like space ships with wheels to me. F8/720 are in this separate league body style wise, whether good or bad. If they were the same price it would be a tough decision for me. I’d probably go 488 still. At 100k difference that would make the decision for me.

    ^^^^ THAT is absurd! I think the F8 has the MOST FERRARI look of any Ferrari... they finally perfected it and it's ALL Ferrari looking!!

    Y’all crack me up….they all look like a Ferrari…no mistaking a f8, 488, 458 are Ferrari’s….They all look fantastic. It’s all very personable and I like something or many things about each one of those bodies.
