296 Values and Used Market

Your second part is not correct. The computer will dictate if you get an oil change. At 12 months you may need service, which is included for free, but the computer may determine that you didn't have enough miles for an oil change.

When that occurs Ferrari will service the car, without the oil change and it may not be until the next annual service that you get the oil change. If you don't want the same oil for 2 years you will need to self pay for the oil change at the annual service.

This has happened to me on the F8 and 296 that I didn't have enough miles at the annual service so there was no oil change.

 

Ferrari warranties the car for 3 years plus more if you purchase extended warranty. Therefore, Ferrari is taking real risk regarding the included service. In other words- I doubt an oil change is needed if Ferrari elects not to perform one as they are at risk regarding the engine. I seriously doubt Ferrari is getting this wrong.

 

That is the simple point I was trying to make, but you did it much better than I.

 

I don’t disagree. However, at one point, the 7 year maintenance ALWAYS included fluid changes. Later that policy was updated. Many don’t realize the details. I still love my Pista and 812 GTS, and I’m excited about my inbound 12C. I am not trying to bash the brand. I’m sure next week I’ll be paying for the fluid change in my 812 GTS.
