My dad just won the lottery and wants to get his dream car, a ferrari 430 scuderia, can this dealer service it?

We live about 16 hours from a ferrari dealer, he wants to pick one up in toronto but he doesnt want to go back every year, but we have a mercedes benz dealer here,could they do the maintenance if needed?|||No, absolutely not. The Ferrari F430 needs the Ferrari SD scantool and the very specific and critical tools provided by Ferrari to their dealerships to correctly service the car. It needs to go to a FERRARI dealer, or otherwise a knowledgeable shop that has experience with a Ferrari that new.





It is NOT something a Mercedes dealer should work on, and in fact they will tell you the 430 needs to remain at the Ferrari dealer in Toronto.





My shop works on Ferraris. I would never let anyone who is not factory trained on a 430 and supplied with all the factory tools within ten feet of the car. It is both a dangerous and stupid idea. At best you will be paying dearly for the other shop's learning curve and at worst you could be killed, or the car damaged beyond repair.|||Its easy...pick up the phone, and call and ask them.|||That's a question for the mercedes dealer, most likely not.


Do you not have a phone?|||hell if he won the lottery just have his butler take it in|||no-no-NO/if you can afford a ferrari you can afford the trip|||Here is the problem.





Ferrari's cost $25,000 per year just to maintain and insure.





If you do not maintain it when you are supposed to, OR if you do not take it to a Ferrari dealership for all services, Ferrari will literally take the car back from you and they will not let you buy another new Ferrari.





This is just if you buy it from the Ferrari dealership.





If you buy a used Ferrari any a non-Ferrari dealership, you can maintain it whenever and whereever you want.|||Buying a Ferrari is not like buying a Ford you know. You have to be put on a list, and then when your name comes up, you then order it. Yes, a Ferrari has to be serviced at a Ferrari dealership. How would a Mercedes dealer have the knowledge, the tools, and the parts to work on one?
