About to buy a used Ferrari California – should I get a specialist inspection first?
Oliverlancaster
I've finally saved up enough for a 2014 California that I found at a dealer in Dubai, and while the car looks gorgeous and the service book seems complete, I know these cars can have hidden nightmares like sticky buttons, F1 pump issues, or even undisclosed accident repairs that aren't obvious to an untrained eye. A mate who owns a 458 told me that a proper Ferrari Pre Purchase Check Dubai is absolutely non negotiable before signing anything, because even small things like a leaking torque tube or worn clutch can cost a fortune later. Has anyone here gone through this process with a specialist who actually understands these cars and does compression tests, scans all the modules, and puts it on a lift? I don't want to be that guy who buys a dream car only to find out it needs another 20k in repairs right away. Any recommendations for a thorough inspector would really help me sleep better at night.
