Ferrari 360 Warranty

[Juber]

Anyone got a 360 and using an aftermaket warranty? Any recomendations and how much is it costing?

I've had a 360 for approaching seven years but never had a warranty. Aldous Voice had a link on his facebook page a couple of days back to 'seen through glass' on YouTube (not my cup of tea BTW) and the gist of it was the warranty he had was well worth it at this service. I can't remember if the warranty company were plugged or not.

Most of the 360's issues are well known and understood. Some such as suspension joints, engine/gearbox mounts etc, clutch will be wear and tear and others now age related so I'm not sure how good warranty coverage could be and whether it would be good value for money.
It depends on whether you can do any work yourself to reduce the cost of the simple jobs.

If you're buying a PPI is a must as some relatively minor deferments can add up. Buy a well looked after, well sorted car and it shouldn't cost a lot to own.

I don't have a 360, but have owned a few other premium vehicles and have on occasions used Warranty Direct. Their premiums are pleasantly surprising and the policies cover wear and tear. I fortunately have not had cause to put their claims department to the test yet, but there are quite a few examples on PH of high-end owners who have and appeared quite satisfied with the outcome.

Echo what Mike said. Had my 360 5 years, never had a warranty and never felt I needed one. In fact overall, I'm pretty sure my 360 has been more reliable than my other cars.

If you watch Seen Through Glass on YouTube he just had some work done (on warranty) when his 360 went in for the annual service. The AC unit failed, along with some other more minor parts, so the warranty saved him a couple of thousand. Certainly worth watching anyway.

I have also heard the company A/V Engineering use is great. Perhaps worth contacting them and seeing if they can broker the warranty for your car?
I expect though that they may request to inspect your car first and ensure it is in good order before applying a warranty on it.

Can warranty be sought for literally any type of car?
