Eric Ferrari Lover - I usually go to Spain in the summers. Trust me, there are some really beautiful girls in costa del sol also! Take my word for it.. In fact, I´m taking off to Málaga on saturday. And I get the point. Utah girls is not hot and if they are hot they are mormons... LOL With other words; best thing is to stay away from ´em... | ||

On the topic, you know what else Europe has that is better than the US, McDonalds. I feel so betrayed, like Ray Kroc (the founder) felt that Europe was better and gave them better McDonalds. The ones here are so ghetto. The best are the ones in Germany. They are all pretty packed all the time, but the food is so much better than it is here, especially the chicken sandwich. You could eat Mickey D's there every day and it wouldn't even cause you to die unexpectedly. | ||

Ok guys, I have been to Iceland and Sweden, and they are about the same, the girls are just drop dead beautiful, I mean even the ones that work in McDonalds can be a 10 !!! It is really terrible that Krist should be so lucky, but at least Krist is willing to share his female wealth, and for that we thank you Krist!! And the other guys are right, Utah doesn't have anything compared to Sweden, I mean I had a Swedish friend that came to visit me in America for the first time and he thought all the girls were going to be like an episode of BAY WATCH, damn was he ever surpised to see just how many normal and ugly girls we have over here, lol, he couldn't wait to get back home! Krist where will you go on summer vacation? Ciao Eric | ||

My mom is mormon, my dad (who I live with) is Catholic. I don't think very highly of my mother. In all honesty, the mormons are the worst group of people that I have ever met. They are like a cult, seriously. Sometimes I'll drop my sister off (she lives with my mom) at the cult meetings on Sunday, and then I'll go ripping away at 6000 rpms in a certain red car, making sure that the deafening sound interrupts their meeting. Bastards. Catholicism may have corruption and alcoholics, but who's to say either of those are really bad, I know I wont. There are some hot mormon girls, but they are all really uptight (no drinking, no smoking, no sex before marriage, I mean come on). Most of the mormon women are really plain looking and like 98% of them get overweight after they have a few kids. Don't go Mormom, trust me, it will bring no good. The mormons are so gay, wow, they are really out there. I have been to SLC like 5 times, it's one of the most boring places in the world, it might actually hold the record for most boring. If any of you have seen "The Waterboy", Bobby Bouscher's mom shows a lot of mormom traits. "Foosball is the devil" and "Ben Franklin didn't invent electricity, I invented electricity." From what I hear, Iceland has more hot girls percentage wise than any other nation. Maybe this needs further investigation. | ||

About Utah, the mormon community is building their own "master race" and there are many good looking ones. Become a mormon, live in the stix and you too can have more than one submissive wife. Unfortunately the cold there makes for a lack of excercise and you know how that makes 'em... But hey SLC does have Steve Harris Imports! | ||

Ofcourse I dont care about wheter or not the girls can tell me how many valves a ´75 308GT4 have. It doesnt matter. And feel free to come over here and "export" some of our beautiful girls to your country. I think it will be enough of chics for me in the future as well. In Sweden, Ferraris are rare, beautiful girls are not!  (I heard that utah have very foxy girls also, is this true?) | ||

Dear Kristoffer, Ok Krist, I can understand fear in helping me and my friends, (A.K.A.The Ferrari Pillaging American Imperialist), find rare and near virginal Swedish Ferraris . This could be considered the first capital offense in Sweden for centuries, a complete betrayal of Sweden !! Therefore I forgive you for not assisting me or my friends in this, BUT DAMN KRIST!!!! You could afford to cut loose on the hot women couldn't you? I mean I have been to Sweden more than once and every time I go I have to go see the Chiropractor for an adjustment to my neck, cause I keep jerking it around as I walk down the streets all day looking at one hot woman after another, and I don't give a damn about what Ferrari models your fine women can I.D.!! OH, Your a luck guy in this respect Kristoffer. | ||

And one more thing. If you followed my previous link: When you look at a car the prices show up to the right in the table. The price in SEK should be divided with ten to get a good translation into US dollars. (With todays rate of exchange, 10.18 crowns/dollar) | ||

Please do understand that I cannot help you guys with contacts regarding importing your car from Sweden. I´m a member of the Ferraristi Svezia and it would be a terrible misstake by me if I supported those actions. And I dont think Sweden is the best country to import from either, we have to few cars! But the German market is huge and they have good prices too. Please be aware that some of the dealers must not be trusted. Expensive cars must be bought be serious dealers only... Test this link below for aprox 500 german Ferraris: http://www.autoscout24.se/search/list.asp?language=swe&mediacode=&debug=&private=no&make=27&model=0&yearfrom=0&yearto=0&pricefrom=0&priceto=0&extended=1&mileagefrom=0&mileageto=0&fuel=0&body=0&bodycol=0&gear=0&eurofrom=0&euroto=0&cartype=0&hpfrom=0&hpto=0&radius=0&zipcountry=S&zip=&country=D&age=&sort=make&cur=SEK&action=S%F6k | ||

Most girls in Sweden loves Ferraris... But the only model that they seem to know about is Testarossa. And it doesnt matter which model that stands in front of them, they still think its a Testarossa. But our girls are sooo damn hot!! I guess that can compensate for their ignorance in Ferrarimodels.. Its a shame I dont have a Ferrari yet | ||

Eric, you may see my comment about importing under your dice-rolling story. About your Boxer inquiry, Ferrari never took the initiative to federalise it because A: it would've been too costly. And B: production was low enough that there was enough to go around in Europe. The way I feel, is that probably Ferrari thought if you were American and you wanted a Ferrari, there was the 308. That car took to federalization because it was DESIGNED for it. Look at a Boxer, where do you put the bumpers and the emissions equipment? Do you see those Gray Market cars with the big, black bumpers nailed to the nose? Ugly! How about tuning those carbs to pass emissions? It was easier to pass a later FI car, which is what you see more of here. Plus the shops that "converted" these Boxers didn't always do a good job. A more recent example is the 288GTO, it too had a hard time federalising. | ||

Hey Kristoffer, Well you sound like a Swed, your selfish with your cars and your beautiful women too. Now come on Kris, I have another friend that would like to get a car like mine too, do you have any leads for us? You wouldn't miss just one little Ferrari there in Sweden would you? Besides you can only drive the car 2 months out of the year anyway, LOL, isn't that true? I just joking with you. But do you have any leads for a car? My friend is serious about finding a Euro F355 Spider, and I could be serious about a nice blonde! Of which you have plenty!! Ciao Eric | ||

In sweden the price for a -97 355 B F1 is around 700G. The spider is aprox 2.5G higher (the sales price is almost identical for a B and a spider). A Ferrari 348 TS -93/94 is about 500G. Theres a Ferrari 360 Modena F1 -00 for sale at 1.150G. Seems to me that there is a lot money to save on import.. (But ofcourse I dont want you guys to buy Swedish Ferraris since I want them on our streets) | ||

Hey Peter, No My guy is a local guy, right imagine the French helping us? LOL! I have a good St. Topez story about the French helping me and a friend one summer, LOL, now that was funny! Anyway my guy is at www.ameristarcapitalwholesale.com , you can even see my car there, he has it listed "for sale", just as an example but I know he will do the same for other people for about the same price, most of the pricing just depends on the exchange rate, and he loves getting back to Europe as much as possible. That is part of the reason the serive is so cheap. But Peter tell me this, why do you think American Ferrari folks now days are so stand offish when it comes to Euro versions? Or is that just my impression? What about all the Euro BB models over here? We never got any US delivery on them did we? They are quite popular, no? Eric | ||

Eric, did this all go through with the site http://www.carclassic.com ? I visited the site yesterday and they have a page devoted to this exact situation. Sounds like they will bend-over backwards to help the Americans do this (really, French helping Americans?!?). | ||

Hey guys, I will do some of my American Ferrari loving friends one better, I just bought and registered, and now legally drive a Euro version Ferrari, and damn I saved ***BIG MONEY***!!!!!!!! I feel so guilty! Well sort of. I had a very experienced buddy of mine buy me a 1999 F355 Spider, red/black, F1, Big Sound System, red brakes and drilled rotors, 5100 miles one it, one owner, and the Damn car is perfect!! I had a pre-purchase inspection done in Europe at a Ferrari dealer, then I had a pre-purchase inspection done at a Ferrari dealer here in California, and the car is virtually identical to the American version (they said Ferrari now days makes a world car basically) and the service department said they won't have any problem servicing the car in the future, that was a relief! My buddy charged me $5000 for managing it all and I am out just under $140,000 for the whole "out the door" process. That is about $40 to $45 thousand dollars less than the same car would be out here on the west coast. Is an American version Ferrari really worth that much more? Where is the difference, I just don't understand. Well I feel bad for the guys in Brunie at half a million per car, although the only guy that can probably afford such a car is the Sultan over there, and I did envy the prices in Europe too, but I am happy that my mighty Dollar let me taste, drive, an own what the Euros have enjoyed at such good prices!! But what I don't get, and maybe you guys can help me understand this is, what is all the paranoia about owning a Euro version of a Ferrari that was built in the same factory as the America version, and is dealer serviceable, and for all practical purposes is a world car? Why wouldn't more people be comfortable owning such a car, and enjoy the savings? I mean this isn't the 1980's gray market crap anymore, what gives? Damn this is fun talking to you guys!! | ||

In my mom's German car magazines I have seen used 355s for like $70-75G and 550s for like $160G. New 360s are like $120G. If only I lived in Europe, I like the U.S. more, but the European prices can't be beat. | ||

Ive seen prices in France & Monaco & they seem to be the lowest. Like $150 for a 1 yr old 550. $95 or less for a 512TR, of course u would have to have them americanized which may cost $30k or so. In Argentina, basically double whatever it costs in the US, Thats why there r precious few Ferraris down here & maybe 12 Lambos in the whole country  | ||

Steve - Its "the price to get it home" that is relevant. What I actually do have to pay for the car.. And to me it seems like the prices in Sweden are "cheap"... | ||
| Steve Magnusson (91tr)

Aren't you guys mixing apples and oranges? The figure quoted by Awang is not really the listprice but more "the price to get it home". Unless you've got an "in" with a dealer, the 360 (non-spider) price is more like $180~$220K in the US (plus probably 3%~8% tax depending on which state/city you register any car). FofDenver is asking $225K for a 2000 360 F-1. Private asking prices for used 550s seem to be in the $189K~$209K range (AutoWeek), but FoDenver wants $219K for both a '98 and a '99. I can't recall seeing any private 456M GTA sales ads lately (FoDenver = $215K for 2000 black/tan with 2400 miles) | ||
