    Hi all! This is my first post as I'm in the process of getting my first Ferrari! Ordered a 488 Spider over a year ago and go the notification that the building process has begun! How much longer should it take before I can expect to take delivery? I'm hearing anywhere from 3months, to six months, and even up to another year! What's the real answer from those who gone through this process? Thanks!

    If you will take it "as is" you can probably pick it up today, but I imagine you want the rest of the buildout so howydo is right.

    All of this depends on where you are in the world and how long ago you got the notification with the photo....

    You could get an indication from searching on 'status' in title for similar threads from folk in the same part of the world as you

    Congratulations!!

    I have been on the wait list for a 488 spider at my dealer for 17 months now.

    Just curious how long it took you to get your allocation and where are you located?

    As I think about it, it took about 30 months! Felt like it was just over a year ago, but it’s been closer to 3. This is my first, so was low on priority list.
