Pre-owned Ferraris guaranteed by Ferrari
TECHNICAL INSPECTION
Before any Ferrari can be declared Approved, it must first pass a series of extremely rigorous technical checks and controls drawn up by the Factory. This complete and detailed Ferrari-approved inspection is carried out by technicians that have trained at the factory and who are specialised in evaluating Ferraris of all types.
The inspection involves no less than 190* different checks covering everything from the running gear to the electrical systems, bodywork and interior. It concludes with a test-drive by a professional driver. Any defects that emerge will be repaired using original Ferrari spares only, to ensure that the car fully complies with Maranello’s extremely strict safety, performance and reliability standards too.
Once a car has passed the technical inspection, a written evaluation is drawn up and will be presented to any potential new owner as proof of the controls and checks carried out. A Ferrari Approved technical inspection includes:
101* single checks in North America
PROVENANCE AND PREPARATION
Each Ferrari Approved car is meticulously prepared and presented for sale to Ferrari’s own extremely high exterior and interior standards. The exterior paintwork and interior trim and upholstery are carefully checked. If any repairs are required, only the finest quality materials will be used, of course. At the end of each inspection, a detailed list of the checks and repairs carried out to allow the car join the Ferrari Approved Programme is placed in the glove compartment.
WARRANTY AND ASSISTANCE
A Ferrari Approved has the advantage of a Ferrari warranty up to 24 months in Europe and 12 months in the rest of the world. This warranty covers the cost of numerous spare parts and cost of work of the principal repair works. Excluded are parts included in ordinary assistance, such as tyres, brake pads and disks, or parts, which have to be exchanged due to normal wear.

Porsche Approved Warranty
Whether you are considering purchasing a new Porsche and want more reassurance, an Approved pre-owned Porsche that comes with reassurance as standard or are considering purchasing a warranty for your current Porsche, we’ve got it covered. Great relationships are built on trust. The Porsche Approved Warranty is a warranty perfectly tailored to your Porsche for complete peace of mind.
As you would expect from us, the scope of cover of the Porsche Approved Warranty is at the same level as our new car warranty. 100% Porsche. This means the Porsche Approved Warranty applies worldwide. It is effortlessly administered in every Porsche Centre, covering all components for 100 % of the labour and parts. There is never an excess to pay in the event of a claim and nor is there any mileage limit once the policy is activated.
WE GUARANTEE:
Like your car, we want to ensure your Porsche Approved Warranty also stands for reliability and trust. This means openly stating what will not be covered under a Porsche Approved Warranty and why. As a Porsche ages, it can undergo visual and acoustic changes without affecting its functionality (e.g. cracks in the leather). Also certain parts are subject to ageing and natural wear.
For this reason your Porsche has scheduled service and maintenance intervals. Visual and acoustic concerns, wear and tear are not defects and are therefore excluded from the warranty. Highlighted below are the parts that are typically subject to wear and hence the cost of their replacement is unlikely to be covered by the warranty.
THE FOLLOWING ARE AFFECTED BY WEAR AND TEAR:
