    I am located in Mpls, MN and have found what I believe to be a nice/clean '02 360 Ferrari in Beverly Hills (private party). I am considering having Ferrari Beverly Hills do the PPI, and wanted to get the opinion of the folks on this board. Also, do you all think I need to fly out and see the car if Ferrari Beverly Hills gives it "five stars"? Thanks, in advance, for your opinions.

    I'm not an expert but from reading this forum other threads have said Ferrari dealerships no longer do "real" PPI's just basic inspections. For the PPI you are thinking that involves compression checks, F1 clutch life, etc I believe you need to seek out an independent garage. Some good threads on here.. some even have copies of PPI's to see.

    GL!

    I think that PPI can mean different things to different folks. You need to be as specific as you can as to what you expect to be inspected.

    A dealer may have a 'Standard' PPI that they will do, but it may not be thorough enough for your needs. I would think you want to go to the extent of a CPO inspection which is defined.

    If you ask the dealer to inspect the car with detailed expectations, then I expect that they will do it and charge you accordingly........Steve

    If the car comes to you not as expected, something overlooked, described differently than you would yourself if you were THERE.

    To put down close to 100k, I would go see the car myself. That way there is no miscommunication.

    Thanks for the advice guys. I will coordinate with one of the independent shops mentioned in this thread. I've also decided to fly out and inspect the car personally. I am hoping everything is "as described", but I guess we'll find out soon enough.

    As I write my first check to my attorney, I say YES, GET A PPI. And DO NOT believe anything a salesman tells you, even if in writing. Thirdly, absolutely go see the car in person. I thought I was dealing with a trustworthy business too.....NOT.

    Thanks again guys. The 360 was everything i expected and a little more (the guy forgot to tell me it has Tubi exhuast ... nice surprise). Just needs belts due to duration since last change (i.e., 3 years). Anybody know a good carrier to get it back to Mpls?

    Nice car and you're making all the right choices... full PPI, flying to see the car etc. You'll be able to sleep better at night knowing you were involved in the process and not a by-stander.

    Curiosity question. Is it the policy of Ferrari Dealers to NOT allow independent PPI's? Anyone Know?
