Buying a Ferrari is a dream come true for any car lover. If you ask us time and time again, we will tell you that a Ferrari is worth the investment, and if you can afford to buy a new one, then by all means, please do! But, what if we told you that you can now purchase a pre-owned Ferrari through a certified process that guarantees you the same experience as buying a brand-new prancing horse?

Start celebrating, because the Ferrari Approved certification program is designed to guarantee maximum security and peace of mind to owners purchasing Ferraris registered within the last 14 years. 

Owning a new or preowned Ferrari is an expression of passion for a brand that is synonymous with motoring history. This is why Ferrari Approved cars are meticulously checked in every way possible. 

Approved by Ferrari

Ferrari Approved submits every used Ferrari to a series of checks approved by the Parent Company, carried out at any official dealer, the first point of contact and reference for the customer. Highly skilled Ferrari technicians specially trained at the Maranello facility in Italy perform the operations.

In total, 109 individual checks are carried out before a used Ferrari can receive the Approved “license”. It is important to note though, that the methods and benefits of the Ferrari Approved program may vary in some countries. 

A comprehensive inspection process

All used cars are subjected to a mechanical operation test to make sure that the car will run as smoothly as it would if it were just coming out of the factory. The electrical systems, liquid levels, suspension, brakes, cooling system and the steering systems are all checked too. 

Ferrari are always committed to providing their drivers with peace of mind, and for that reason, secondary checks are also performed on air conditioning, dashboard and safety systems. Your safety is one of Ferraris most important concerns so the operation of lights, and wheels and tires (tread depth and pressure) are also checked.

The functionality of the engine and how well the car runs are necessary parameters to deliver you with that dreamy, signature experience of driving a Ferrari. And you can rest assured that this is investigated thoroughly to never leave you wanting when cruising in your Ferrari Approved vehicle.

We can also safely agree that true car aficionados care about the car’s body and luxurious interiors, which is why the exteriors and interiors are also prepared for presale, guaranteeing the top-quality craftsmanship. 

All of these processes take place in compliance with Ferrari’s standards of safety, performance, and reliability. Following the checks, experienced testers try out the car to make sure that all the Ferrari Approved guarantees are met, and the new owner receives a written analysis with a list of the checks performed.

Transparency at the heart of it all 

Transparency is key, and the history of Ferrari Approved models is available and accessible to every potential new owner. Every item of information is verified, to check originality, mileage, and changes of ownership. Even the performance of the scheduled maintenance activities recommended by the company are included and confirmed.

Warranty and assistance

A Ferrari Approved car enjoys all of the benefits of the Ferrari warranty, as well as additional roadside assistance of up to 24 months. The assistance covers the cost of parts and labor for major repairs. A Ferrari Approved car has an unlimited mileage warranty, except for parts subject to routine maintenance, such as tires, brake pads and brake discs, or normal wear and tear.

The assistance program is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In the unlikely event of a breakdown, road-side assistance will be taken care of for you. Travel and accommodation costs as well as transport to an official Ferrari dealer, wherever possible, are provided. And don’t worry about being without a car while they take care of any fixes, as a rental car will be available during repairs.

A Ferrari will always be a Ferrari, and owning one means that you will be well cared for by the best car manufacturers in the world, so what are you waiting for? Check out Ferrari’s Approved program today!
