Deposit for a modena here in Oregon is 5k
10k for a spyder.However; first one is put on the list and 4-6 mo before production when specs are listed then the deposit is required.
I suppose each dealer has his own rules in this regard but all have to sell new cars at sticker.

What's the deposit on one? Assuming life continues on the path it's set, I'll have the money for a 360 within the next year (maybe 2) once I sell the Viper. Maybe it's worthwhile putting down the deposit now and by the time it comes in I'll be ready to purchase??

If you are from the NY area you can try Wide world of cars or Miller Motor cars. Miller has prices that are a bit high though. I've been to both a few times, not to buy though, im still a few years away from owning seeing how im not even out of college. I dont want to share opinions online because i dont know whos reading this. If you are interested, email me.

you got it - normally a "new/used one" list at the dealers in the mid 200s I bet you can get one for less than that - say $220-$230. These days more than ever cash talks and bs walks

Ahh I see, that's what I thought. I heard that the dealers have to sell new cars at list price, but no limits on used ones, that's why they play tricks with sell/buy back and ask huge prenium on used cars.

Well, I want a 360 Spide F1, so if I don't want to wait, I will have to get it from dealer/broker at the current market price which is about mid 200's?

Wait list averages seem to be for a 360 2-3 years for a 575 8-12 months. A deposit is required for either and you won't get interest on it. It seems what most people do is by a used Ferrari while they are on the wait list, but thats up to you.

if you want a new 360 or 575 for list price you need to be on a waiting list. The dealers must sell new cars at list. That said dealers have cars with less than 1k miles which they sell used and markup to a current market value- which is higher than normal list. you can go in a pay cash and walk out with them Tell us which car and we can give you specifics

Don't laugh at me as this is gonna sound stupid: How do you buy a Ferrari from dealer??
Can you even go into a dealer and order one at list price? Are they not obligated to sell you one at list price? Or they are but they will say the wait is 3 years? Do they only sell to preferred customers?

I am in 20's, I have the money for it, and obviously I never had a Ferrari before, so I have no idea how to go about it, don't want to look foolish by walking into a deal just like that. Any help is greatly appreciated!
