Hi All

I would like to ask your help/opinions about the 599 GTB HGTE I'm considering to buy

it's a 2009 car with 17k km and services are stated as follows:

20.04.2010 Annual Service at 5.044 Km
18.03.2011 Annual Service at 6.560 Km
NOW Annual Service and 20.000 Km service will be done before delivery

so it did not have a service in the last 3 years / 11'000 km (=6800mls)

How much should that worry me?

I service all my cars once a year regardless of milage

In theory as you say it needs servicing every year. It depends what you think and your plans are. If you want to keep long term , it is a negotiating point, but in my experience, when you come to sell, device gaps like that on a recent car will create problems. There will be other cars out there that have a annual service, and in my 599 experience, it is a car that needs using, and has a lot of sensors that like to give up dash warnings. I would be surprised if your car is coming through a main dealer.

Well, the seller IS a main dealer but they got the car through an insolvency sale with no paperwork.

They offer a 2 year Ferrari Warranty though included in the price
