    The good thing about 2012 and newer is that they come with 7 years ( unlimited mileage ) FREE maintenance , so when checking out your options, you should be able to get service history for each year!

    Tires, that's on you , I cannot say that I have ever seen brakes being replaced on an FF yet, though the highest mileage I have personally seen was in the 40k range.

    As I always suggest, get at least a year of New Power Warranty for piece of mind for your first year, then go from there.

    Only other point, is make sure you personally inspect the leather dash, side panels, and rear hatch panels... if they have not been kept conditioned they will shrink up and cost a bunch of $$$ to recover ( Condition is not the same as putting silicone based shiny products on it to look pretty LOL )

    Good luck with your search!

    Agreed. Mine is - no problems or concerns. My independent has the same tools and software as the dealers and has services even my local dealer doesn't provide.

    Some service some independents. How does one service the PTU without access to the Service bulletins etc. Fluids and other stuff yes. Assuming they have the Ferrari diagnostics
    Etc.

    My FF f1 had an error which necessitated transmission out and then a leak with a bench test. Not sure that would have played out the same way with the diagnostics. In the scenario without the diagnostics, transmission goes in and comes out to redo and replace. And the extended warranty covered it. Without the benefit of the database and algorithms you’re buying a new transmission.
