paint maintenance plan

[franki68]

Just in the process of buying a Roma and being offered a Paint maintenance plan,now bear in mind that my insurers won't cover a car with ppf this is the deal offered.
£2400 for 3 years ,up to ten repairs per year and a pro rate refund for any unused years.This service provides full ferrari paint repairs for things like stone chips etc ,so stone chip on bonnet gets full respray not just a touch up.

Has anyone got this ? Thoughts ?

There's a good chance you'll get stone chips within 3 years BUT who is actually behind the plan & will they be around to honour it when you need them ? I'm sure the dealer is also trying to sell you tyre insurance and a protective coating for the interior etc etc etc

It’s from Ferrari dealer , not sure if it’s Ferrari or Sytner offering the plan , no tyre insurance offered but they have offered a good deal on ceramic coating .

I’m not sure what the SP and L section is but I’ve never had e reputable insurer even ask whether my cars have PPF, which they all do.

This is new,it’s the first time they asked .

I had a look at SP and L and while there are some fascinating topics such as how do you report a very dirty bus, I couldn’t see anything about PPF and insurance.
Anyway, I would expect that a significant percentage of the posters on this forum who own a supercar have some or complete PPF on their car(s) and if there was a significant problem with insurance I’m sure we would have heard.
Wrapping is a different matter as some insurers might feel that this would reveal something about the driver.

The ppf issue has been mentioned a few times,it’s not just me .

Quite.

If you want to assume your insurers cover PPF that's up to you. I'm sure plenty do - but there is also fairly strong evidence that plenty don't - and some people have only found that out when they made a claim.

Yes - PPF is different to wrap. But not to some insurers.

Yep , they didn’t advise me of this at renewal ,I only found out as I sold a car and bought a new one and they asked does it have ppf or a wrap ?
