2010 vs 2011 California worth the price difference?

You need a warranty to own the California.

 

FIrst off u need a warranty covering AT LEAST engine, transmission and gearbox.

AT LEAST.

Second, 2010 Calis are FULL of problems, many of which solved or corrected in later versions.

If u buy a 2010, be ready for troubles. So don't offer more than 110k dollars.

 

I will somewhat agree that more problems are fixed in the 11's but I owned a 2010 and sold it at about 29,000 miles. It had a couple of the standard problems, wiring with air bags, loud vibration from transmission cooler when temperature is below freezing (fixed with software in the 10, later models moved the transmission cooler to the rear of the car), but nothing else spectacular. It had one top sensor go out but the dealer sorted it out Very quickly. It was delivered in December 2009 so it was a very early '10. I'd take it again in a heartbeat.

I will certainly agree that the power train warranty is important. These things can be very expensive to fix even though I consider them to be very reliable.

I have a '12 FF and '12 Cali that I will be looking into getting additional warranty when the time comes.

 

nonsense. i have 39,500 miles on my 2010 and its still fabulous. trading in for T that will be here in 60-90 days. i have a couple friends with 2010's also trouble free. the car is very sound. maybe if the car is tortured, that's another thing. but this is a wonder daily driver. don't be spooked by 2010 rumors.

 

here are 2 cars under 10k miles. wholesale value is 139-140k. not sure where the 110k suggested price came from, but not based in reality

Hey Agrun, a bunch of posts ago you said you would have it in September ? From Which dealer did you get it and what month allocation do you have

 

That's what I was told. Now I'm told more like October but I don't want to count my chickens. So I am thinking 60-90 days. I don't want to give dealer hard time so I won't disclose until car arrives. They are working on it but I think it's hard to pin down ferrari especially in August.

 

Did you have a October allocation ?

 

I am getting close to 20K miles on my 2010. Not one single hiccup at all. And I will buy every 2010 Cali with a clean carfax for $110k that you can find.

 

well I got as many as u want in Italy

 

Yes,

 

me too, but i have not heard anything yet still red 10 as of last week

 

They just started production since august closing. Be patient. Now it will move

 

I had the top problem w mine, fixed under warranty. No other problems for the 6,000 miles I drove it in 2 yrs. Dealer salesman said i may get $130k on trade in. I'm going to see in a few weeks.

 

Thank you, I feel like its a baby being born, except it took more than 9 months

 

At least you don't have to feed it, burp it or send it to private school

 

Actually almost the same

 

Wow. Prices have held up a lot better than I thought. Can't imagine paying those prices, let alone higher, for a 2010 California. Lots of awesome cars and convertibles available for those prices.
