Hi there, I am looking at buying an FF and have seen a couple of 2012/2013 cars with 4 owners. This seems a lot but dealers all assure me it's pretty normal and I shouldn't worry because there is the 7 year service package. Does anyone have a view on this I'd really appreciate some advice. O
It can often be the case that at the price point of say 275k new the cars are bought just to scratch an itch. With a lot of people the itch keeps moving around so taking an early hit of 30 to 40k is to some OK. Often the muti owner cars have spent more time in showrooms than with passionate owners. I would ask to see the paperwork to establish exactly who the previous owners were......ie not a performance hire club or track day club etc. With an approved Ferrari warranty for 2 years plus as your dealer says a 7 year service you would have fairly positive safeguards. Always buy as late a model as you can afford.
When i looked for my two year old FF, there were many cars that had 3 or even 4 owners. As it was my first Ferrari I was a little concerned but soon realised it is fairly common in this marketplace.
As long as you can check and confirm the car's history - go for it! challenge Stradale+FF would be a great combo to have in the stable
this is very normal. had a friend who bought his first Ferrari recently and asked the same question.. he put 700 miles on his new 458 then traded for a Speciale.. he now understands how these cars go through 4 owners in 2,000 miles.
only red flag wld be if one of the owners was an exotic car rental company - those cars get driven way harder than a regular 4 owner car
Yep. And with the FF that chance is low. Lowest of all Fcars I think. The 4 owner cars are no different than the 1 owner cars. And the higher miles cars are often in better shape in every way except the paint. These are cars not sculptures, they like to be driven, and driven like you mean business. Get the Power warranty and enjoy your car to the max as we all do.
