Nice F12 at Park Ave Showroom

My dealer says his list is already very long....

 

What would your wait be?

 

I would be getting my F12 "right out the gate" i only interpret that "" as in the beginning.

2.5 year? That "already very long" can be intrepreted many ways too.

 

At my dealer (Ferrari of Washington DC), I made 'general inquiry' with a trusted sales person. In his assessment there were at least 12+ firmly committed folk with strong history of F-car deals ($ ready when slot available). So based on expected annual allocation, I'd be looking at year three of production when my number came up. I've got a 2012 FF and I'm comfortable running the FF as daily driver for 3-5 years. If in 2015+, the F12 bug can't be denied, then my vehicle would be coming to USA about the time that I was ready to trade the FF. Of course circumstances could change. I had a 2011 Maserati GT convertible with 2,800 miles that went out the door as trade-in on the FF last July. My interest increases when there's a car with low miles at a good price.

I was told a year to 18 months but "no one knows". This after buying 3 new Fcars in the past 5 years.

I told them 18 months was OK with me.

 

well... my dealer told me average 15 months wait but they do have way to move up your position ...

 

Yea the highe u move over msro, the higher u move on the "list". The ever changing, nonexistant "list"

 

Higher* msrp*

 

actually they want the me trade in my 458 for less $$

 

That's so they can honestly state they never charge more than list price.

 

From my observation that is definitely the case.

 

That difference is actual the same mathematically as paying over sticker. Different tactic $ame re$ult$.

Oh they'll never "charge" over list price. There's multiple ways to get the "premium" though.

 

Exactly my point, particularly with a used 458 still maintaining decent value, at least in the US. They know the premium they are getting with little risk.

 

still thinking should i take the offer or not ...... $40G less to buy the slot ......

 

$40K?? Thats it?! Wow, i suspected at least $80K under. I estimated market to be $100K+ over.

Well, what slot for that hit?

 

F12 is a very beautiful Ferrari!

 

well.... i purchased 4 ferrari from this dealer in past 4 year .... that's why dealer give me this offer..... so you think it is the good deal and i should take it ?

 

Ohhhh yeeeaaa, its all about "relationships". If thats for real early allocation then i'd say yea.

Would it be a long term keeper or a short lived?

 

i usually keep my car for about 1 year... but not so sure about the F12 ....

 

My guess is at 1 year, even break at the least... minus their commission if u consign it. But i cant predict the market so cant know for sure.

 

but what to get after the F12 ???

 

458 Hardcore version?

 

that what i was thinking too......

 

Do you guys like the design of the front fender? I love the rest of the car but that piece where the shield is looks very odd (cheap?) up close

 

I think diff colors make diff parts of the car appeal to me differently. I love the car.
