Ferrari Pre-Purchase Inspection
Buying a Ferrari is the moment you most need an independent set of eyes. Our pre-purchase inspection is a multi-hour mechanical, cosmetic, and documentation review that tells you exactly what you are buying, before you wire the deposit.
What the Ferrari PPI covers
- F1 clutch wear read directly from transmission data (F1-equipped cars)
- Cam-belt service history on belt-driven cars (355, 360, F430) vs. chain cars
- Sticky/degrading interior trim, a known issue on the 360, F430, 599, and California era
- Exhaust manifold and header cracks (common on the 360 and F430)
- E-diff, F1 pump and actuator health, and engine/gearbox leaks
- Carbon-ceramic rotor wear measured by weight, plus a full scan and road test
Era matters on a Ferrari
A belt-driven 360 with an unknown cam-belt history is a very different buy from a chain-driven 488. We inspect to the specific concerns of your model and year, not a generic checklist, and tell you what's due and what it will cost.
Buying from out of state?
Many of our Ferrari PPIs are for buyers shipping a car listed in South Florida. We inspect, photograph, and document thoroughly so you can buy with confidence from anywhere.
Frequently asked
Do you check the F1 clutch on a Ferrari PPI?
Yes. Where the platform supports it, we read clutch wear directly from the transmission data so you know how much clutch life remains before you buy.
Can you inspect a Ferrari I'm buying out of state?
Yes. We provide a documented, photographed inspection for remote buyers shipping a car from South Florida.
