Buying Tips for the Ferrari 458 Italia

  • Check if the car has an extended Ferrari warranty (New Power) to cover the DCT gearbox
  • Verify all dashboard buttons; some older cars suffer from "sticky buttons" where the coating degrades
  • Inspect the carbon ceramic discs for "pitting" or weight loss; replacement is extremely expensive (£15k+)
  • Ensure the service history includes the annual 7-year free maintenance stamps
