Hi all my 2012 458 is 4 years old at the end of this year so after seeing the Cali warranty renewal thread I decided to ask the main dealer what the cost of extending the warranty for year 5 is.

I was pretty surprised: £3,720!

OK I appreciate it is a £200k car but still.... Coming from the world of Porsche where my GT3 RS warranty cost c.£1k (only) this seems a lot!

So I wanted to ask whether:

1. People generally extend their warranties with Ferrari after the 4 year manufacturer warranty has expired or do you take the view that car is now sufficiently reliable there is no point and "go commando".

2. If you do extend the warranty is this the standard price or is it negotiable/vary by dealer.

I do c.3k road miles per annum. Thanks in advance.

OK so the consensus is that the warranty is priced at about as expected and worthwhile doing. I guess I've been spoilt by years of reasonably priced Porsche warranties - not something I ever expected to say!

PS free Assist is an interesting thing I've learned on here!
