California position!

Hello all my fellow Ferrari fans, I was told today that I have a position on the new California. I was hoping any of you all experienced veterans could help me! The dealership has only told me that they will take my order and I then give them $10,000.00 for them to order. If I simply want to have my option then sell it would that be ok? if so, who would by it and for how much? I just wanted to know the value of what I had. At this point I really think I want this car, but would like to know all my options.

Thanks you guys!

To be honest your value is "zero". In today's economy no one is going to pay you for your spot in-line. Ferrari is going to build thousands of the California GT. Supply will catch up with demand quickly.

 

If not already.

 

I test drove in on Friday and they put me on the list for free.

 

Who would buy it and how much??? WoW, those days are hopefully over... Your spot in line is worth zero unless it is for immediate production and not 12-18 months out.... This was the problem 2 years ago, too many people buying F cars to pose with them then sell for a quick profit.... I am keeping my deposit at the dealer for the 430 replacement and I'll enjoy my Maser until then...

Realistically, in a while you could probably just wait for a car to arrive, no deposit and possibly pay less than sticker. That way you'd be able to figure out if you really want one when you see it.

 

You guys are breaking a flipper's heart here!

 

Tarzan say: Buying-- GOOD. Flipping --- BAD!

 

Fellow Ferrari Fans ...lol

 

it will be different when it is time for you to actualy place the order

 

You may be right.

 

Do you mean the option to sell your position? or get your deposit back? Most dealers should give you a full refund on deposit if you pull out. Whatever you're doing, have it in writing, with witnesses, including the owner of the dealership. The dealer should not be able to legally keep your deposit if you simply change your mind.

 

There are already unsold Californias sitting in showrooms!

 

Where? If in the U.S.

 

impossible the first allocations were put in two months ago for june built july delivery, the one you are looking at sitting in showroom is dealers demo not for sale

 

Pure BS!

 

I heard a dealer say today that all orders are sent to Ferrari who keep a master waiting list, taking control of assignment away from the individual dealers.
He also said that Ferrari is looking for 50% conquest sales with the California.

 

thats my concern, and i ordered one. ambivalent now about that decision and the 20k deposit. should i ask for return deposit and just wait. i need gilda radner and jane curtain for a little point/counter point. where are all you skeptics out there

 

Some are even being resold with a few miles at under sticker!

 

Can you please name the dealer(s) where these cars are being resold at under sticker?

 

Probably 3-500 miles from you for them to listen.

 

Most dealers have a demo car which has been passed around from different press events, shows, etc. These cars will be sold and should be priced to reflect the fact that they are used vehicles, with varying mileage. Some have already done a few thousand miles.

 

Plus they are 2009 models instead of 2010.

 

not true. no dealer has them for delivery yet that i heard of.

 

Kole- Credibility in negative numbers. Believable Story.
