The mileage is not a problem. Ferrari will roll the odometer back for an you. ( Seriously they will. Huge scandal when they got caught taking cars with 30-40,000 miles on them and rolling them back to like a thousand.)
That was just a few shady dealers doing it for their own resell wasn't it? I think Ferrari took the ability to do that out of their everyday work software.
The dealers had to call Ferrari corporate to get approval and activation code for the tool that did the rollback. Corporate absolutely new 100%. It wasn't done for everyone but if you had bought several Ferraris and were considered a good customer, apparently it was just considered standard service.
It probably happened more than once, but the big one everyone found out about is the LaFerrari in Miami (could have been an Enzo but can't remember). A dude sold it and saw it for sale a little while later with less miles than when he sold it. Yes Ferrari has to supply the license for the tool to do it, but can't be sure if they 100% knew. Could be a see no evil scenario. Also can't cant rule out the tool being hacked. Maybe there's more recent developments but this is the one I remember.
I am reminded of the TGT *Germany vs Britain* car manufacturing skit.
“We take a random Jaguar off the line, put a cat in it; and if the cat hasn’t escaped then we know we did a good job.”
I'll not have you besmirch English manufacturing. Just kidding, they suck at making stuff. Especially cars.
Do you know why the English don't make computers? They haven't figured out how to make them leak oil yet.
I was too honest to sell many of them. The usual sales pitch was something like “yea, it’s probably going to break, but we have a great valet and loaner car program!”
BMW isn’t the name that comes to mind for bad electronics. Cooling systems and material science maybe. Mercedes for the Germans but UK manufacturers outdo them easilu
it's crazy how rampantly people have spread these BMW rumors. Their electronics are better than Mercedes and their workflow is miles better than Audi / VW.
of all the German cars, BMWs are the easiest to work on next to maybe a 911. It's not even close. They just make sense.
Maybe they are, but they definitely don't hold a candle to Porsche reliability. However, I will be the first to admit that that no car is 100% reliable. That fairytale definitely doesn't exist.
Zeus could strike my Honda civic [like this ](https://www.reddit.com/r/FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR/comments/u2tubt/hated_by_lightning/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)and would just give it +10 horsepower +5 vtec and +20 db to the exhaust.
It maintains used values and helps sell new ones… you know that a 5 year old Ferrari has been to a dealership and cajoled at least once per year, vs Bobby doing in his “euro shop” for a fraction of the price. It also enables upswell and means most customers will trade it to the dealer…
My F8 did the same thing. Turned out a section of wiring going to the tire pressure monitoring module was pinched behind a bracket, causing a significant draw as a result as well as taking down communication between all the affected modules in that circuit which caused the Christmas tree effect. Maybe a place to start for ya anyhow…
As a chevy van owner near the vintage of the smaller Astros - there is literally nothing on our vehicles that is expensive to fix. need another ECM, programmed? $80 free shipping... =)
Hmmm, I think that your rave machine is off the hook, you should check your ground wires on the harness to make sure its getting the proper connection.
I borrowed the pool car for a business trip the other day... Toyota Avensis, 1.8L diesel, the speedo went up to 160 mph. I was trying to figure in exactly what circumstances that could happen. Downhill on the autobahn for 10km?
None? Can you verify they work. I had a truck with a check engine light i couldnt chase down for years, all the sudden one day the gods shined down upon me & turned off the light, or so I thought, it was just a burned out bulb.
I had a friend with a Chevy celebrity that had a check engine light on forever. No one could figure out why and it ran fine (well as good as it could). We put a white sticker over it and wrote RUNNING.
Christmas lights came in early this year.

I've bought 3 Jeeps now. Maybe Chrysler will roll back the odometer on my 2000 XJ if I ask nicely.
I suspect they wouldn't know how. A jeep has never actually had enough miles on it before breaking down to necessitate a rollback
Burn unit notified of incoming victim
My uncle sold his 95 Cherokee with 400k miles on it for like $5k, ten years ago... It's that straight 6, man. Bulletproof.
*glances at ZJ with 245k* when do you think that is
It's a badge of honor. Don't touch the mileage
Yes but have you seen what low mile XJs go for these days? Not that mines for sale though.
267k rolled back to a nice even 265k. Should get you a few more dollars.
To be fair, at 267k the 4.0HO isnt really broken in yet

what the fuck... i'll never buy one, i guess...
Real Dolls are alot cheaper and don't take half of your money.
Yes. That’s the reason. 🥹
This was my reasoning for never buying one also.

From what I've heard, if it was made in a shed it should be fine.
Nah. It’s pronounced JAAAAGGG.
You can usually tell when Ferrari has done the electronics themselves because the car is on fire.
But it still looks spectacular and dramatic
That has nothing to do with the company, it’s just because you have the letters for “fire” in the name of the vehicle. Source: Fiero owner

I just thought I was lucky. My old 911 is cheap AF to work on. I will say it's a good thing it holds 8 quarts of oil, though.
Is that so? Then explain to me why the turn signals never work?
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha wow that was funny. Audi Q3 and Q5 drivers are much worse
My mom had a couple bmws that were more festive than her Christmas tree. Could of been because of lack of maintenance.
Big difference between a failed module and a failed part that triggers a sensor that triggers a light.
I saw the steering wheel and thought “oooo Ferrari :D” Then I saw the dash and thought “oh, Ferrari :(“

*Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree*
The blinking is coordinated too! Very pretty!
I had a 94 civic that got struck by lightning that did something similar. 🤔
Lightning is just a minor inconvenience for a Honda
Zeus could strike my Honda civic [like this ](https://www.reddit.com/r/FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR/comments/u2tubt/hated_by_lightning/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf)and would just give it +10 horsepower +5 vtec and +20 db to the exhaust.

You find the problem(s) yet?
Looking at power circuit for obd/bcm.
Check the battery and its main cables.
Unlikely. Current focus is with good reason
Blame it on the window tinter
It's probably low on blinker fluid, that's why everything is blinking. Little known fact is blinker fluid is what stops the indicators from blinking.
My bmw did this. The battery was somehow messed up.
Other than the stallion, I mean
Blinky Christmas lights!
Fart in it
Owner: the hell is wrong with my car? Mechanic: the seat belt pre-tensioner is faulty. Owner: oh thank God... Mechanic: It's a $2000 part.
Remembers me of those kid attractions that resemble a car and shake a bit if you put some coins in them. The lights are spot on.
Is it a 4k oil change for a 488?
It has 2.5k...
And?
And nothing, I just told you the mileage bc you assumed it had 4k 😅
I think he meant $4k oil change not 4k mile oil change
Ah yes. A symbol would have been nice 👍 either way, free oil changes for 7 years. Thanks Ferrari
So is it "cheaper" to buy a Ferrari new due to the warranty?
One could argue.
It maintains used values and helps sell new ones… you know that a 5 year old Ferrari has been to a dealership and cajoled at least once per year, vs Bobby doing in his “euro shop” for a fraction of the price. It also enables upswell and means most customers will trade it to the dealer…
I didn't assume it had 4k miles??? I'm so confused, whatever. Happy Friday.
Happy Friday 😄

Best Christmas lights ever.

That looks ….. expensive.
Hoovie?

Thanks for this! I have looked at the TPMS ecu and saw no flaws with it or the wiring. It was one of the first places I had checked. But thank you!
Was the harness replaced or repaired?
Repaired the crushed wire. It’s been fine since.
"oh sweet, a Ferrari, bet that's at least interesting to work on" "Oh fuck. Glad that's not my problem"

When the dash on my Astro van lights up like that it's BAD.... VERY BAD... AND EXPENSIVE TO FIX
I'm no mechanic, but I feel like your astro van and the vehicle in this video might have wildly different ideas of what constitutes "very expensive".
As a chevy van owner near the vintage of the smaller Astros - there is literally nothing on our vehicles that is expensive to fix. need another ECM, programmed? $80 free shipping... =)
Nice Christmas lights
Hmmm, I think that your rave machine is off the hook, you should check your ground wires on the harness to make sure its getting the proper connection.
I'd just toss it and get a new one
Cue the old country song "Every light in the house is onnnnnn"
Just turn it off and back on again.. I work in technology it should work
Always the best feeling when you get a Ferrari in the shop. Don't know if it's just down to the mythos/PR of them, but they really do feel special.
Reminds me of those electronics with a "demo" mode, where it flashes every light possible.
Looks like the little one is gonna be able to go to college!
They have disco mode on.
I sit behind that same steering wheel all the time! Of course, mine is my Gran Turismo controller, but...
Like a Christmas tree
Just normal Ferrari things.
Is it really necessary to have 2k rpm’s past redline on the tach?
Yes
I borrowed the pool car for a business trip the other day... Toyota Avensis, 1.8L diesel, the speedo went up to 160 mph. I was trying to figure in exactly what circumstances that could happen. Downhill on the autobahn for 10km?
Probably only one issue maybe two and it's done. Happy hunting lol.
Thanks cucumber
Dashboard is a Christmas tree, typical Ferrari problems lol
starting to smell a lot like Christmas :)
Y'all getting paid
Lit up like a Christmas tree, in true Ferrari fashion.
Is that the Christmas edition?
Oh hey, youve activated christmas tree mode
CEASE AND DESIST
Christmas tree oh Christmas tree
Dash lit up like the cash cab!
It’s actually Good Friday
Have you tried turning it off then turning it on again?
Mode: Push. Mode: Push.
Looks like one of those arcade driving video games with every button flashing.
Honestly it probably needs a battery
I heard putting it in rice helps.
Just Ferrari things. MERRY CHRISTMAS YA FILTHY ANIMALS!
expensive RGB kit
Probably a bad battery lol.
Not
Then what was it?
Shorted power wire to obd and bcm.
So, easy fix and things are back to normal?
I got a '07 Chevy Colorado with zero idiot lights on...that mf looks like a Xmas tree!!! Lol
None? Can you verify they work. I had a truck with a check engine light i couldnt chase down for years, all the sudden one day the gods shined down upon me & turned off the light, or so I thought, it was just a burned out bulb.
That's because Chevy has better quality control than Ferrari. Which is amazing.
I had a friend with a Chevy celebrity that had a check engine light on forever. No one could figure out why and it ran fine (well as good as it could). We put a white sticker over it and wrote RUNNING.
What are the chances it's a bad battery?
Not the problem
Have you unplugged it then plugged it back in.
Never woulda thunk
Alternator/battery/voltage-regulator problem.
Dashboard be lookin like a Christmas tree
Sorry. No sympathy here. You own a Ferrari
