I can't imagine anything going wrong with this bute...but just for piece of mind I think it would be a good plan.

I have bought Warranty Holdings before for TVR's bought privately, but what about the new 355? I gather the Formula Ferrari is the best I can get for a 97 R GTS cos too old for the Power one.

However whats the best way to get one of these having bought privately and what should I pay, or are there better suggestions? Apparently main dealers don't like selling them to people who buy outside the network.
It's due a cam belt service in October if that makes any differance.
Sorry about all the questions but HELP please!
Cheers

Thanks all for the advice. I have sent a email to Verdi and they say they can help with the warranty, so I'll phone today and let you know how I get on.
I will also ring Greypaul cos it was supplied and has always been serviced by them. IF THEY WILL PROVIDE ONE?
Would it devalue the car for a non main dealer to service it, even if they have an excellent reputation for Ferrari?

Murph, I agree; would have bought a dealer car if there were any GTS's about which were Rosso and 5-6 yrs old. The only ones about were either the wrong colour, too old or too new ie fetching 360 money.Really can't see the point in paying 70k for a 355.IMO depreciation would make the car cost significantly more than a 360 over a year + you can add increased service costs for the 355 and cos its an older car more potentially go wrong. Think 355 looks nicer though!

All very valid points Murph, and really I agree with most. Thats why I got a 355 not a 360.
Point I was really making was 355 at 70k is too much IMO,and with a few miles and a year on what will you be offered? I know you get reassurance from a dealer but they know how to charge for it sometimes- anyway better get out of the office and go for a burn!
