    If you knew as many used dealers as I do, you would not make these arguments.

    White FFs are not super common here in SoCal, but white is the hottest color right now in all cars including FFs. Homelink is assumed with these cars, but not always there. Pano is a good look on white, a dealer in Costa Mesa added a black wrap to a white car to help sell it. Pano is for the passengers, as is the FF.

    Your car with no shields, in black? I wouldn't touch it.

    And it's "you're" ... when "you're driving."



    You don't get it. But thanks for playing.

    That's just false. Ask a Ferrari dealer, or ask 5. The split spoke wheels and LED steering are always preferred for example. Full electric seat. Etc. Colors matter a lot. Shields are preferred also.

    If you do a spread sheet of the used market and look at pricing trends over time, you can see for yourself.

    Thank you, you are not alone.

    and btw stop effing correcting my spelling/grammar. I know the difference between your and you're but autocorrect doesn't. Considering the audience, its not worth spending energy fixing those errors.

    and my car is pozzi - I'm glad you wldnt touch it. reconfirms my conviction in how great of a color it is. and no shields - I don't need to scream hey looks its a Ferrari while I have my kids in the car.

    its one thing to have opinions, its another thing to give advice.

    in the secondary market, options on Ferraris bring in a fraction of their msrp prices - that is a cold hard fact and anyone buying a Ferrari for the first time shld not be told that optioned cars carry a material premium. its just false. and if you try to map out options and price on a spreadsheet you are likely to drive yourself crazy because there isn't a formula.

    Your FF is the nicest spec I've ever seen. Pozzi and no fussy shields, which BTW look silly on the 2+2 cars. Enjoy that thing my friend.

    What's positive about it?

    Judging from the other pic of your car, it looks like yours is heavily loaded - you probably do have Homelink. If you do, why not take 5 minutes to read the manual and program it...and chuck out the clutter?

    ttforcefed is absolutely 100% right about the options and I personally know ttforcefed and he knows what he is talking about. He's really lived this stuff.

    My own opinion is there are some options that tend to become desirable and you have to wait and see based on the car. I like the LEDs- I find them useful and also part of the fun- but I don't know if I could say its something the market will demand. I know I would demand it though. :)

    As to the homelink one of the problems with the system is you can only program so many remotes and when you have several cars it can become an issue. Its far easier to have several clickers that you move between cars.

    Hard to believe folks argue about homelink. Really? My F12 and FF have it and I, like ttforcefed, still use my garage door opener. No big deal and by hanging on the visor it doesn't clutter up the car.

    cuz their amazing colors with a ton of depth and character. we are cut from the same cloth. I'm an argento freak. was going to order my laferrari in argento but never ended up getting the allocation. I had a titanium 360 spider a few years back.

    I am certainly not up to the LaF level. I did have a beautiful 599GTO in Argento with black livery.

    Indeed. But don't be so foolish as to use your garage door opener.

    Argento will be a beautiful spec on the TdF. Congrats on your allocation!!
