How hard are these going to be to get?

Lots of seated dimes needed

Try asking your dealer !

Or have a look at the production numbers implied in the rest of this section - the philosophy appears to be of a slightly nmore available car than the 430 for a slightly different target market

 

Well, . . . it will be like going
to the grocery store to pick up a
gallon of milk. There will be plenty.

Good Luck.

 

Doubtful.

 

+1 I agree......double doubtful

 

Based on what I hear from my dealer, it will be just about as hard as a 430 coupe. The low volume dealers (that get 35-60 new cars per year) will probably get 10-15 Californias. Although the goal of the car is to bring in new clients for Ferrari, most of these dealers don't need new clients and will easily find 10-15 customers who have ordered 10 or more cars from them and will want to have the California for the same reason that they want every car that Ferrari makes. They may make more of them but they will still be difficult to get.

 

Plenty! yeah right

In the Middle East i hear the waiting list is 2 years+

I'll sell my spot for $10,000.

 

Will be just as "hard" to get as ANY new Ferrari over the last 50 years.

2+ year waiting lists, huge premiums paid over retail price etc....

But, like every Ferrari..........they will be for sale at every corner shop as people try and unload them when the new model is just around the corner.

 

Wait for the customers that can't get the power roof fixed correctly then pick up theirs second hand but most likely at a premium.

 

In England there will be loads of them available. Right now, I count 10 physical 430 Scuds for sale at or below purchase price. Given that the Cali is a basic cooking model and not a special, there will easy availability including dealer slots. Not sure how this translates to the US, but I would expect the earliest slots to be sold out, and then the floodgates will open as people realize there isn't a quick profit to be made on them. Depreciation profile will mirror this.

 

The US is it's own market, unlike any other in the world. I would imagine the California to hold a strong premium for at least 18 months.

 

IMO availability will be similar to when the P-Boxster first came out lots of 'new' interest, especially from women. The demand vs availability will cause premium pricing for a year or so. After the novelty wears off pricing will level then fade into depreciation. Depreciation will be directly proportional to production numbers.

 

We will know soon enough as the world premier is just 4 days away in Santa Monica CA. The California will be unveiled to the public and invited guests will be able to take their own photos. Of course the press will be snapping all the digital photos one would need anyway.

I know alot of people here on FChat are disappointed by the early photos, wanting a look more like a Scud or F430.

 

I'm curious how much interest there is in mid-Ohio where low volume Ferrari dealer Midwestern Auto Group is. Thats one place I often felt was the easiest place to get a new Ferrari with lists relatively low compared to the major players in Florida and California, of course they get much fewer cars, so it maybe be even in the end.
