I wish that were an option , but the La Ferrari is excluded from warranty extensions as well as New Power Warranty products! I’ve had clients offer to pay whatever the price and were turned down. knock on wood , out of the 12+ we service , none have needed significant repairs! S
That's good. Infamously the first one I ever saw was Steve Wynn's, which arrived dead and led to his beef with Ferrari and him selling it early, that in turn ended with Wynn and Penske selling off the dealership to the Towbins.
That's parts only, correct? Labor bill to dig out the KERS battery could be THIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSS BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG!!! It's like trying to replace an iPhone battery. Nearly impossible! .
so if that is parts only, add on a hefty charge for labour, in the UK i believe we have a hefty charge for environmental disposal of such items, guess the same in USA?, plus we have VAT guess you have a state sales tax - I imagine you are not far off knocking on the door of "a quarter of a million dollars" - the number that originally started this debate?
We can conclude from the is thread that replacing the batteries is clearly significantly more expensive in Europe than in the USA.
now there is great excuse for a 2 week road trip to the USA, and get the batteries done will enjoying a fabulous driving holiday (paid for by the saving). Could be a great idea for a 10th anniversary of Uk and USA LaFerrari owners!
Perhaps more relevant to this thread's original question, I think because the cost of battery replacement is less in the USA, values of USA LaFerraris may fare better than those of their European counterparts.
Penske didn't get ousted until he flipped his black LaFerrari. FNA and/or SpA was/were mad about him selling the Enzo earlier than they specified/agreed, but they didn't take away his dealership until he sold the LaF. After breakfast at the Peppermill, you and I saw it at Penske-Wynn, 08 November 2014, where you shielded the employees' view of me so I could get a picture of the VIN. Then, just six months later, as per this thread, Penske sold 204692 for $3MM.
There are a few Apertas now on the market, which will impact the coupe market. There at least 4 Apertas floating around on the US market right now.
Make of it what you will but the US/Canada battery has a different part number than the ROW battery. They could be very different prices. The US part number is the 116,000 pound price. The ROW number only says "POA".
Very interesting, again, my Ferrari North America Service Director affiliate whom I've dealt with for years says the small primary battery replacement cost is about $15,000 and the secondary battery system (the main hybrid battery) costs about $90,000, here in the USA, that's all I know.
I believe you. I have a very high degree of skepticism of online prices. Those were from Maranello Classic. I see it all the time but they are taken as gospel for those that do not actually buy the stuff.
Some decent results at Amelia last weekend, though. Could be a bit of the cash that came out of the stock market during the corona hit was sitting there staring at all that shiny metal and just couldn't resist?
Whenever the stock market tanks, some of the the cash naturally goes looking for tangibles, including classic cars, I've seen this happen every stock market blip for the past 30 years.
Something not Kosher here. The USA Scuderia price for the 12V starter battery is half the cost of the dealer (100% markup at the dealership) yet the high voltage battery is $185K shipped and does not include installation. I can think of only two reasons for this that I already stated. Either way something to give pause on this car.
It's kosher, that's the price, again, here in the USA, my Ferrari North America Service Director affiliate whom I've dealt with for many years says the small primary battery replacement cost is about $15,000 and the secondary battery system (the main hybrid battery) costs about $90,000, he told me this directly, I do believe there is labor on top of that. I don't know anything abut USA Scuderia, but as Rifledriver said, there is a high degree of skepticism of online prices.
I definitely believe you. The complication is that the 12v is half the dealer price which is normal but the high voltage is significantly (prohibitively) higher. As a member just posted tonight, the secondary part sellers can only buy from Ferrari dealers to get the OEM parts. This means that either the dealer is keeping back the part sale to retain the service or are foregoing profit for some reason. Losing profit for the service department has to be coming from Ferrari and could be a protective policy for liability with the service of the module (cooling and electrics) or to protect the reputation of the halo product as its just a ridiculous cost for a disposable item even for a hypercar client.
Got it, that makes sense. My sense is many LaFerrari owners will just drop the car off at the authorized Ferrari dealer and let them handle it all.
