Waiting for my Cal T

There is quite a range of possible times. Variables include traffic at export port, the ships have several stops on the way, the entry port (Newark) can back up with ships and then customs delays, also can back up with trailers to remove the cars to take to dealer. I've seen 20 to 40 days...

Worth the wait...

 

Boardwalk in Dallas tells me average from post production in Italy to their door is 58 calendar days.

 

It will feel like forever. Don't stress, nothing to do but wait.

 

Just went through this.
My car was ordered on May 7 and delivered to my dealer on October 16.
The delivery to the west coast added a week of time but my best guess is that it is three weeks of sailing and then perhaps two weeks or more at Newark and then delivery to your dealer in NY. I would say six weeks overall as best case to NY.
The wait was harder than the wait for the car to be made after the order was submitted.
BUT, worth it!
Love my Cali!

 

Big YES.

VERY big YES.

 

If you want a new Ferrari to Spec, what choice do you have ? Wait, and wait some more

 

A big smile and a pat on the back.

 

I suppose it depends on the dealership. But here's my experience when I took delivery of my new California T last week in Johannesburg, I was given the following:

A bottle of French Champagne - Verve Cliquot vintage.
A 1:43 model of the car with the exact specs.
A carbon fibre cigar box (large) with a nice large chrome cavallino on the lid.
A beautiful red fleece-satin stretch car cover in red with Ferrari logo (this may be standard but I wasn't expecting it).
Genuine Ferrari branded golf shirt and baseball cap.
1 year free membership to Ferrari Concierge, operated by Quintessentially International.
Complimentary track day with two instructers flown in from Corsa Pilota Maranello.
Photoshoot of the vehicle hand over with a professional photographer. They then bind the prints in a presentation red leather coffee table hard cover book. - nice touch!
Ferrari branded key fob.
Full tank of petrol!!

 

Take a look at my post on my Cal T stuck on the dealers floor. The car left prodtion on Oct 12. My wife and i missed seeing it by 4 days but we assumed it would be nearly here when we returned to the USA on 11/1. It showed up at the dealer last Tuesday and by Thursday, they had it all checked out and detailed. All it needed was to get into the van for deliver here (we're about 80 miles south of the dealer and they agreed to deliver it). Around 2 PM I got a call that FNA was halting deliveries of Cal Ts to customers. We ran up to Palm Harbor to verify that the car wasn't damaged at the last minute, etc., and there it was sitting in all its glory - all shiny, greaat exhaust sound, etc. However, we still cannot find out why FNA is holding it and other Cal Ts from customers.

 

Dave we are on our way to Joburg ! BTW how much does the T cost in Australia converted to dollars?

 

Mitchell,

South Africa completely outclasses South Florida (and Georgia) on delivery!!!

Wow!

 

My car was ordered in May and delivered in October and is a 2016.
Your dealer knows which year was made and shipped.
