    I’m seriously considering buying a 296 GTB. Should I only be purchasing from an authorized Ferrari dealer? Seems like there may be better deals through an independent, or other car dealership.

    Thanks in advance,

    Depends if you are looking to move up the list and be offered new cars. If yes, dealer, if no and just want a 296, get the best deal. Of course, do your due diligence and get the car history and have to PPId.

    Thanks. Not looking to move up the list. I'm concentrating on 2024+, with super low miles. What about getting extended warranties, etc.?

    Well, it you're in PV, you have a great dealership just down the road. I'm sure any car you buy you can take there and get set up with what you need. If buying from a dealer, you generally are getting a good car that has been thoroughly gone through. The guys at South Bay catch every little thing.

    If it's under warranty, it doesn't matter where you buy it. The warranty and included maintenance still applies.
