    Looking at those prices I can see why Ferrari are reducing the number of cars being send to America, the European/UK prices are currently ~30% higher

    I have a $250K tax credit remaining from some trades I did last year with my dealer so tax burden is ZERO!!!!

    It's nice when that happens......

    I just got mine at last and love it! One thing I regret is not getting the Challenge Grill? Do you not like that new option? I know I need a whole new bummer now so it is a do it now or don't deal?

    Not a fan on the spider, needs to stay on a coupe or the new version CS (if it ever comes)

    Congratulations, nice spec.

    Arent we so lucky :) At the US price for that car it would be about £130k, where as if you ordered a similar spec from Maranello, it would be around the £150k (just remember, Labour want to increase taxes even more..). :)
