    Looking at 812.
    Mechanically I assume probably fine since dealer did CPO inspection and extended the bumper to bumper warranty.

    They don’t do cosmetic stuff. Photos look good but want boots on the ground to really take a close look.

    Why do a PPI on a CPO car? You are paying a premium for the warranty and piece of mind that it qualified to be Certified.

    What do you need to verify? It is still under the manufacturer three year new car warranty and it passed the 101 point Ferrari CPO inspection. Not a chance OEM dealers are faking inspections.

    I recommend Steve Ott at DriverSource. I used them in 2021 and was happy with them, especially when they called me and recommended ending the PPI early (making them less money) because of issues they had found.

    Steve has been servicing my car for the past 3 years, so thumbs up there.

    Another option is Mark at Sphere Motorsports

    As far as not inspecting a CPO car? LOL....we see substandard CPO Ferraris from time to time, especially due to non-reported accident damage.

    Got it done. I’m was not worried about the mechanical issues given the CPO but that doesn’t not cover any cosmetic issues. As such I wanted to ensure the paint, wheels, glass, interior and all the carbon fiber was in perfect shape. I’ll be posting photos once it is in my garage but I’m telling you it’s an absolutely spectacular build in pristine condition. Thanks to all.

    Mark did the kline exhaust install on my FF

    Harris has swapped rotors and pads on my Plaid, tons of work on my RCF, and some minor stuff on my FF

    The 575 is going to have the fabio headers and exhaust by Harris in about 60 days from now

    Saw this thread too late to assist, but I thought I might lend my recommendation for future searches. I cannot say enough good things about Mark Darragh. He helped me with 2 PPI’s back in March 2020: a 2005 Ford GT and a Dodge Viper ACR. Great guy. Super detailed. Tons of pictures. Very professional.
