I do recall quite a few problems when he first took delivery, I must have missed that he has returned it completely, was it a dedicated video do you recall? he does throw out a lot of videos and my life is too short to watch them all, must try the x2 speed option!Jayemm gave his 430 Scuderia back to Dick Lovett cos they couldn’t fix the knocking from the suspension so it seems to becoming a problem for Ferrari.
Please forgive the intrusion, but given your experience of pizza parlours:
Do you enjoy female company?
Do you have royal connections?
Do you ever sweat?
Is 'Bob' your real name?
Just wondered.......
No dedicated video but he mentioned it in a recent one as people had been asking him where the new Scuderia content was. Probably not worth seeking out. Basically the suspension knocked strangely under certain conditions. DL and Ferrari confirmed it wasn’t normal and shouldn’t happen but couldn’t get to the bottom of it so DL took the car back and he got out of the deal minus the interest payments. Seems to have taken it quite well and didn’t moan about it to be fair although he did seem frustrated that it ended that way and the amount of time it spent off the road.I do recall quite a few problems when he first took delivery, I must have missed that he has returned it completely, was it a dedicated video do you recall? he does throw out a lot of videos and my life is too short to watch them all, must try the x2 speed option!

I think it helped he was Jayemm, my brother bought a Ferrari off DL, not a good move.No dedicated video but he mentioned it in a recent one as people had been asking him where the new Scuderia content was.

So have I got this right?I used to sweat a lot in the cheap ski gear of my youth but after I got the sponsorship deal with Lynx I was able to upgrade to more expensive ski wear and buy a trendy Alpine chalet. I had some unexpected large bills recently so this has all had to go. Pizza parlour wise, choices are now driven by whatever Groupon vouchers my daughters let me have.
It would keep u awake all night…..Phil has nailed it. This chap shouldn’t have a Ferrari. He’s determined to sweat the small stuff, without appreciating the main course.
Imagine buying an amazing holiday villa with the best view/location in the World, and then moaning that the tap dripped.
Probably Ferrari legal dropped him a nice letter…bNo dedicated video but he mentioned it in a recent one as people had been asking him where the new Scuderia content was.

Why would they? It’s a 10 year old used car, I don’t suppose they particularly careProbably Ferrari legal dropped him a nice letter…b

Having had two Maserati 4200 and a Ferrari 456 and a 360 Modena I know a mere amateur compared to Ewan but have a good look at the leather and controls in a Porsche 987 Boxster for starters far superior.I must admit I’ve always rated Maserati fixtures and fittings better than Ferrari, starting with the door handles. Much of the 90s Ferraris have door handles that feel like they’re going to come off in your hand.
Interior design can often be better - Enrico Fumia’s 3200 cabin looks great and is a masterpiece of packaging, makes the 550 (seats and open gate gearshift aside) look a bit ordinary
Totally, they knew if the outcome wasn't good for him, he would vent on a dedicated video, and why I didn't know about him no londer having the car.I think it helped he was Jayemm, my brother bought a Ferrari off DL, not a good move.
Yes I agree, this is not the 70’s /80’s anymore where only the super rich could afford a Ferrari and it was normal to have it in for ridiculously expensive services and repairs on a very regular basis. You can and should expect to get an excellent product for that money. They have come a long way though, I’m not sure if it’s the same in Europe, but here in SA they now come standard with a 7 year warranty/maintenance plan which shows their trust in the product (They started this around 2010 already with the FF/458/California). The guy in the video does seem to be a bit of a whiner and he was all too happy to show off his problem solving skills (i.e. a simple battery reset….he must have had a Maserati at some point ).The video I posted seems to have touched a nerve with a few folk, and I wasn't aware that the guy has made others so may have another agenda (and haven't looked for them either).
That said, why shouldn't you expect reliability from a high value product of any sort? Ferrari have been incredibly successful with their marketing strategy, and they trade on the image and customer perception to maintain their standing. Nothing wrong with that I agree, it happens with everything from hairspray to houses, but if a woodstain manufacturer can make a product that 'does what it says on the tin' then so should a car maker, and it would seriously grieve me to be told that a seat need to be removed and stripped for investigation when it actually needed a reset, and when acknowledged faults are allegedly fixed but aren't.
JayEmm's 430 saga does seem to prove a point, does it not?
As it happens I've seen this in the flesh and if I won the lottery it would be on my shopping list, although I might just get a teensy bit annoyed if it broke down - especially after 15 years of reliable Maserati ownership!
