    Hi

    I am planning on buying an 07 F430 this week. I want to have a pre purchase inspection done, but not at a Ferrari dealer since they quoted me almost 2k for that! Does anyone have a good trustworthy and knowledgeable independent Ferrari shop that knows these cars well you can trust to look it over? Ideally around Ft lauderdale and not Miami.

    Thanks

    I just had a PPI done at Ferrari Fort Lauderdale. Cesar is the Ferrari service advisor (great guy). They are pretty proud of their prices, the PPI was $882.

    That's funny... Ferrari Ft laudedale is the one who gave me the crazy price for the PPI which was around $1,900.... Wonder why we were both given such different pricing?

    I am still looking for an non dealer though...

    I had a good PPI done for me by

    F1 Imports & Exotics

    568 Industrial Blvd.
    Naples, Florida 34104

    In general, they were very thorough. In particular, I had them do a compression test, and they found a problem with one of the cylinders, that saved me from buying a messed up car (F430.) They even paused the inspection at that point, to save me a little money, assuming (correctly) that I wouldn't want the car.

    Yes. Danny is factory trained Ferrari. I use him for anything I can’t handle on my 360.
