I know one thing...the spider top mech is not covered (at least per my local Ferrari dealer when I asked last week). I think some of the covered areas are listed on the official ferrari website, so I would suggest you look there...
Yes I have, if i continue to renew for the next 3 years i'll still be ahead on the deal. No major problems however, exhaust manifolds, all 4 front wishbones due to ball joints wearing, 2 mufflers and 5 sets of exhaust brackets. Not all items were officially covered but Ferrari dealt with them anyway. Power cube is really the full factory warranty and can be extended only if the car is still in factory warranty or in power cube. If you want to add warranty power normal or power train are the only options, the warranty on an approved used Ferrari is power normal which cannot be upgraded to power cube. Power normal covers the big things, engine, gearbox, F1 actuator, diff etc etc It's been worth it for me. John.
I worked the Power warranty into the deal when I bought my pre-owned 430 (the car still had a year and a half of new car warranty at the time of purchase). The only issue was, the Power warranty could not be attached to the car until 60 days before the new car warranty was up. The dealer supposedly did not know this, or didn't tell me, when I bought the car. I assumed (and was told by the salesman) the warranty would be attached soon after purchase. Bottom line, the dealer held the additional money I allowed for the Power warranty for nearly a year and a half until the car was eligible. The only benefit was that I paid significantly less for it (retail price is about $4K). Fwiw, during the time when the service manager was unsuccessfully trying to attach the Power warranty (this went on for months after purchase, I must have called him ten times), he told me he found out that only the Power Cube warranty could be attached at any time during the new car warranty. I did make use of the warranty, but I didn't get back what I paid for it, much less come out ahead. A faulty HVAC ECU was replaced under the Power warranty. I estimate the repair at about a grand parts and labor (costs were not included on the service invoice). Still, I had some added peace of mind for the year I had the warranty, so it was worth the extra few dollars. Regarding the OP's question...the Power Cube is basically an extension of the new car warranty, while the Power covers the powertrain and many of the other major systems, IIRC.
I put the power cube on my 430 when the manufacturers warranty ran out at the end of 08, it's not just the cost of the warranty which was over 5K, you also have to pay for a service/inspection which comes to around 2K. I thought that it was pricey but spin a bearing and you could be out 50K plus. I just took it as a consequence of Ferrari ownership, that along with the 3+K a year for license in California. My Scuderia will drop out of warranty in March and I'll definitely buy the Power Cube then, I've found on my 430 that my local dealer would really help me with everything, I had a leaking water pump, a wheel bearing, no questions asked they just did it...but then Gino Potter and Ferrari of San Francisco are fabulous. The service manager John, has gone to work with Evan Shone, he was such a fantastic guy, I thought I'd do a belt change on my 17K mile 308 GTS Carb car, when I got stuck half way through he came to my house in his spare time and showed me where I'd gone wrong.. My feeling is that it's not just a great insurance policy, it's all part of building a relationship with your dealer
Try the PowerForgetIt if you have a good car and the original warranty wears out. Save your money for what comes up.
