    Hey everyone. I looked at my first one today and just loved it. Am I crazy?

    What are the areas to be concerned with on a 2013 with 12k miles?

    I have lots of experience with older Ferrari's and cars in general. Anything hiding
    in this purchase that I should have checked first?

    PPI is your only insurance that the car you are looking at is sound. That would require removing all belly pans to inspect for leaks. I had a head gasket and water pump replaced when purchasing and the Ferrari Dealer told me that the cost would be $50,000. Thank god there was warranty left but since that and 14,000kms no problems so far.

    None, just a small leak from the water pump seep hole and some oil seepage on the right bank at the back. In all honesty it was not all that bad but with warranty and the fact the dealership shop was slow I guess it was good for both of us as I had winter storage for nearly three months.

    Phenomenal car. Buy from a ferrari dealer and get them to throw in a power warranty ($6.5k value) and you’ll be fine

    I have no regrets with my purchase of a 2013 FF. It always puts a smile on my face! I had some battery issues when it first arrive, which was a little worrisome. But once a new one was installed and kept on a good charger, all was good.

    Just got back from my yearly service on my '14 FF and both service manager and mechanic told me they are bulletproof. I know all cars vary from one to another, but there experience has been great with them which made me feel evern better about my purchase, if that's possible. Clean bill of health and an invoice that said $0 owed, never happened with my F430!
