View Ferrari California / California T DirectoryBuying Tips for the Ferrari California / California T
- ✓Cycle the folding hardtop fully several times and do not ignore slow operation, warning lights, or uneven panel alignment
- ✓Check battery age and whether the car has lived on a conditioner because low voltage causes many frustrating electrical faults
- ✓Inspect the suspension carefully for leaking dampers, tired bushes, and front-end knocks because these cars are heavier than Ferrari mid-engined models
- ✓Ensure the gearbox shifts cleanly when cold and warm and that specialist servicing is documented
