this is incredible. did any recent California or 458 Italia buyers get this? or is it starting here forth? apparently the 599 is left out of the deal.

excellent news, hopefully I'll be able to get a 458 in a few years, and not have to worry about maint. .

 

You think they let go their Fcar when they still warranty? The main reason people let go their Fcar is the costly maintenance. I highly doubted that there would be many available.

 

there will be a few move-up buyers when the 458 Challenge Scuderia (whatever it's called) comes out

 

Not sure that is going to do much for the brand. I'd venture to say that 90%+ of the owners rack up minimal miles on the cars and free maint, while good, would almost be a waste other than an annual fluid change. Point here is, the warranty and the cost of F-Car items when they break for the unprepared buyer can be quite shocking.

And on a re-sale, any F-Car owner that does not keep up with the maint now will have an extremely hard time selling the car in the future. Proper records with Ferrari is probably #1 item to keep in mind while owning.
