    My California had 25 miles on it.  Perfectly normal for any new car to leave the factory with a few miles on it from testing.

    All Ferraris are tested at Fiorano and the surrounding hills prior to shipment, so it's normal procedure. Congrats on your acquisition. Pictures would be welcome.

    i'm happy to see I'm not the only one who withdrew the car with more or less 30 miles on it........... I thought it was strange that for the testing they needed so many miles..

     30 miles seem like a good test distance, that should cover some laps at fiorano and a cruise by the twisty hills like REALZEUS said. Post some pics .

    a bizzare question to be asking.

    this is common with many marques.

    why not ask the dealer when picking the car up?

    why ask this question on different forums?

    Bizarre indeed. Smiley

    As is the fact that a New York car shows its "mileage" in kilometers? Smiley

     I am not sure what he would do about it if he did not like the answer.

    Return the car?

    I think it's another rare 458 case delivered (Rossi) no time for pics, too busy breaking-in the engine

    Evenif he posts some 458 pictures, most of us will be still in doubt, including me. Smiley

    As long as he owns an 458, he shouldn't mind, I guess..

     I think we've seen enough delivery and owners pics to spot a fake, I for one have doubts but hope its true.

     Posting pictures next to a 458 proves nothing.

    Early on I was suspicious of Berfes. I still believe he is a child having fun with us.

    I've got to say I'm sceptical too as berfes was still repeatedly asking for pics of the JBL hifi and of the button for the lifting system even though he must have had "his car" delivered by then according to his latest posts  

    For someone who was so desperate for pics he's certainly gone camera shy all of a sudden with his new car
