    If it were me, I would and did pay the premium for a CPO'd car from an authorized dealer. For my wife and I, it was peace of mind. Still, I would do all the necessary due diligence on the car, condition, etc. Good luck...T

    If the car is not already under the Ferrari New Power warranty, I would lean toward a CPO car from the dealer. You'll pay more, but ... if the car is covered under the factory warranty with the current owner, however, I would consider that (after having it inspected, of course).

    @Quietriot probably FAQs but questions around maintenance, insurance, appropriate mileage/year etc.

    Watch the roof go up and down - think about that breaking on a 6 year old ferrari. For me powertrain warranty was key to my enjoyment. Most importantly will make it easier to sell as the warranty moves with the car...

    Thanks all. I am pretty convinced I’ll go with CPO and pay for the extended New Power15 warranty once original one expires.
