Ferrari Admits to Mileage Rollbacks

Ferrari has admitted to knowingly allowing its dealers to roll back mileage on pre-owned vehicles. In a whistleblower lawsuit filed by a former Ferrari dealership employee in Florida, Ferrari has admitted that it provided access codes to allow dealers to reset odometers to zero.

During the case, a memo came to light that appears to show Ferrari not only allowed the mileage rollback to take place, but that they actively participated. It appears that Ferrari approved a computer system that allows a technician to set the mileage back to zero. On high-end vehicles such as these, a mileage rollback could increase a vehicle’s value by hundreds of thousands of dollars.

According to the Miami Herald, once news of the mileage rollback broke, Ferrari agreed to stop the rollback program – but it begs the question: how many vehicles were impacted? And what does the future hold for the pre-owned Ferrari market? Some say this could damper prices and turn prospective buyers to other high-end vehicles. It is still too early to tell what the fallout might be, but there will likely be other Ferrari owners who come forward with additional lawsuits.
