12/31 was my 3 year anniversary of delivery of my 430 and you know what that means. NO MORE WARRANTEE! I have driven 27,300 awsome smiles in 3 years..... What a ride. You will never know how much your father loves you, untill you have a son of your own. Owning and driving a Ferrari is hard to explain in words also. It's more than just a car. Caholo
Now thats what I am talking about!!!!! Wishing you many more happy miles of ownership! You can always buy an extended warranty thru a Ferrari dealer, somehow, I doubt its worth it! Two years of ownership and not one major failure, actually, no failures at all! Robert
We are in sync my friend! I took delivery of my 430 on 12/31/06!! At my 2 year mark I racked up 22,250 miles. Are you considering an extended service plan? I certainly will be getting extra coverage. I had the engine replaced at 6K miles which at the time freaked me out pretty bad. Along with other issues I figure that if my car was out of warranty I would be out close to 100K by now. No complaints though, I love my 430 and wont ever sell it. It's so nice to hear about another guy who actually drives the car. I agree, it's more than just a car. I wish you many, many more miles of smiles!
I was just about to say the same.. you are my hero man.. you buy the car.. drive it almost 10k miles per year.. and keep the car.. you are actually using the car for the purpose of which it exists.. congrats.
Great thread and I soon will be one of the lucky ones to join the Ferrari ownership ranks. As I've said before, "A true Ferrari is one that can be used at anytime and for any occasion". Happy driving and enjoy every minute of it, because they don't last forever. Cheers!!!
This is an excellent post........ Although I've only had my 360 for 1month now, there is no doubt that it will not get "old" on me. And the most important part is, I drive the car. (Its a cryin shame so many have these wonderful autos, and really don't get the chance to experience what the car is all about). I'm fortunate and have the N.GA mountain area that provides a wide range or road types (sweepers, twisty, straight......nice elevation changes). Heading out and putting 100+ miles on the car in one drive is what its all about! Again, congratulations.
THIS THREAD NEEDS PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats guys! Its nice to hear that there are F430's out there that are not museum pieces. JIM
