Ferrari Odometer Scandal!

Drama is afoot in the world of Ferrari thanks to an American lawsuit against Ferrari of Palm Beach, brought forth by Robert “Bud” Root, a former/current salesman at the dealership. That doesn’t sound too juicy until you get to the part where Root alleges the dealership engaged in odometer fraud, a practice that’s obviously highly illegal. And because the diagnostic tool said to allow the roll back must connect to Ferrari’s central system for authorisation, the suit claims the manufacturer is guilty by association.
Of course, it’s not quite as simple as all that.

They stopped as much as we stopped, making pizza in Italy 🇮🇹🤌🤌🤌🤌🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂😂

[@dirtyace1668]

Lol that's a great analogy and i totally support it. Ferrari is simply trying to save face and telling everyone what they want to hear. However, behind close doors, it's business as usual.

[@althunder4269]

Here's another reason why Jay Leno will not buy a Ferrari.

[@C_and_C...]

No point winding back old Toyota's, it's a badge of honor. No matter the mileage it's still good for another couple hundred thousand. Nothing is more luxurious than that when you think about it.

My grandparents love roadtripping there prius, it has just under 800k kms now, pretty incredible

Shameful for such an esteemed company to stoop so low 🤔

Now that's a shady company. Probably the most hated one as well.

[@valkyries_007]

Like VW and Porsche taking part in the dieselgate scandal!

[@nitramalugyr6085]

Lol. My cousins boyfriend had a device that did that 12 or more years ago. He told me dealerships were the biggest customers of having the odometers rolled back

Enzo was a proudy fellow and so do his legacy as it continues to be. I will never buy Ferrari, just rent it for a week like a hore.

[@kiatsumi7355]

This sounds stretched af. You can modify ECU odometer on any car with a OBD interface as long as you have the necessary software / scanner device. The make of the car doesn't matter, every manufacturer has something like that.

[@kcasci04]

They got caught cheating. Thats the only reason they SUPPOSEDLY stopped.

[@mcgusto82]

They didn’t stop. They just made it more elite feature.

[@eddiewavy96]

Every couple of years you should bring this story

[@richarddeutsch9984]

That's ridiculous, no one has ever seen a ferrari that drives with more thab 500km on the speedometer

''We just wanted to roll back the factory and highway miles'' ...

[@ajlukelepuke]

Ferrari has been my dream car since i was a kid...starting with the 288 GTO. Have looked at some Modenas and F430s but after watching this, no way. I had no clue about these lawsuits. Thank you for putting this info out there.

[@johnbelwell2461]

Rolling back mileage on Ferrari? As if there's any of those actually driving around to increase the mileage, they're either rotting in a garage or are not reliable to drive for long before they sell them. 😂

[@babayaga-j3f]

The story goes that if you book wn appoinent at the factory in modena and are 15 minutes late, they wont even let you in the gate. If you give money to a company like that, you need your head examined.

[@as48507]

Ferrari is filing a lawsuit right now against this KZbin short… 🤪😜

[@MSAutoSnap]

XD

[@dezpotizmOFheaven]

Imagine you buy a car for a few hundret thousand dollars and are not allowed to modify it. That's why, even if I had the money, I'd never buy a Ferrari.

[@tekha1977]

You are apparently allowed to modify the odometer.

[@dezpotizmOFheaven]

@@tekha1977 Only because it makes Ferrari more money.

[@tekha1977]

@@dezpotizmOFheaven Well if Ferrari can do it I’m sure their must be at least one guy some where out there who is also able to set back the odometer on a Ferrari.

[@dezpotizmOFheaven]

@@tekha1977 Sure but here it is specifically mentioned that Ferrari dealerships have done it in excange for a payment.

[@samuelerossi1437]

When you buy one you specifically sign and declare you’ll leave the car as it is from the dealership. You know what you gotta do and don’t, because they are meant to be as they are built, they are masterpieces of technology and performance.

just use the old DEIS version and you can roll back all you want

[@SubbareddyChirla]

They probably haven't stopped they may make the clients aogn a form saying not release the info or they might sue

[@VENNOM711]

Need to get a pre-ECU Ferrari with a mechanical odometer as those would be harder to roll back

[@lancepage1914]

I bet you they aren't harder to roll back.

[@VENNOM711]

Probably not. But harder to roll back than the digital ones. And requires disassembly of the vehicle to access that part. Also, an old/older Ferrari has more chance (due to its age) to have more documentation (in paper form) that could be used to show instances of odometer roll back.
