Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Certified Used Cars

[Ken Rentiers (rentiers]

Doug:

I have an off lease 5 series that I bought CPO. So far I have replaced  
both xenon light fixtures ($1,000) and the MID pixels ($2,000) under  
CPO warranty with no hassles. These are great cars but they are HMO.  
So for BMWs I recommend CPO, God knows that would apply to Ferraris as  
well.

But the pain feels so good! If we were not kinky we would all be  
driving Hondas.
