Can Ferrari warranty be transferred to next owner via Indy ?

[GT3 APE]

Currently have GT3 with extended 2 year warranty that can be transferred to next owner though a private sale, but not via an independent dealer.

Possibly looking at 430 or Gallardo as next car. What's the score with the extended Ferrari warranty, with car from an Indy ?

Thanks in advance

My understanding is that the warranty goes with the car, regardless of where sold. Just need to ensure there is proof of servicing in accordance with manufacturer's schedule using manufacturer approved parts, otherwise all manufacturers will say the warranty terms have been voided. They'll find any reason to wriggle out of paying claims if they can.

A friend of mine bought a used 430 Scud from an official dealer and it came with 2 years warranty - underwritten by Ferrari, not an insurance policy, and more than double what the independents offered, some of whom only offered 3 or 6 mths as std, with a 1yr option for a further chunk of cash. The car was slightly more from an official dealer than an independent, but the longer warranty more than justified the difference - indeed, if he'd bought a 2yr warranty from the independent, it would have cost MORE than the one from the official dealer. Would recommend taking into account all costs to make sure comparing like for like. Not just in terms of length of warranty, but exactly what it covers - the insurance policy warranty offered by the independent just didn't cover half the stuff the Ferrari warranty covered. Just shows it's not always just about the price on the windscreen.

Thanks. Fully agree re main dealers not always being that much more expensive if you take everything into account
