Pista pricing question...dealer sent my total today

Add in the CF wheels and bam, pushing $460K. Or in my case, $480K...

 

I’m at $480 as well. Sounds like we a both going for triple layer paint

 

Historic color + stripe = $27K...

 

I'm a fan and am getting one, but I think we are getting carried away. With sales tax, it's half a million dollars for an unlimited, unnumbered 8 cylinder. I have misgivings

 

Me too, mine will definitely be more then a highly optioned 812 my friend is getting. Misgivings is a perfect word for the Pista pricing reality. The 488 we recently bought jammed was $366kCAD and I recon the Pista will be $600+ doing the conversions in this thread.

 

I’m floored with the pricing of the Pista. Is it really that high?? Dang!

 

Approaching 500K is a heavy cost of admission for the Pista. I am thoroughly enjoying my 488GTB at near half the cost...

 

Pista customers will end up paying the adm upfront to Ferrari with this pricing. I’m not sure how sustainable that policy will be if production numbers reach a couple of thousand or more. The last couple of posts from actual customers although a small sample indicate substantial misgivings.

$500K - $600K USD. Incredible.

 

thats alot of scratch

 

DDDDang .. its almost the cost of a used 488 and Lusso combined... WTF!?!?

 

nicely optioned, with taxes coming around $480k.

 

Nice to know.... its all good.. I still very much want one but I am tired of people telling me your going to make money etc. on it.

 

I wouldn’t count on that, feels a little like Ferrari is teaching the US a lesson on flipping. I would think there is very little left on the table at this price point. I was very comfortable with pricing at 350k with items of PPAC included and surprised to hear they have now been excluded when all the other markets made it mandatory and adjusted MSRP, but comparatively less overall priced (I am not including the enormous difference in taxing structures between countries and for that matter States within the US).

We will find out. On the one hand, these prices are definitely high. On the other hand, if owners take a beating, I think it would be very bad for Ferrari, and I think they must be aware of this. Thus, I am very curious to understand the marketing plan. We will only know after it happens.

 

higher price = more exclusive due to smaller buyer pool; less demand, fewer built. No one should be intending to make money from these cars. Good to take the speculators out. Finally the real enthusiasts can get the cars they want. I am getting this car and tracking the hell out of it; what it's made for.

 

Heres the piece i dont get - ferrari is taking a risk with these prices - so why arent they allowing everyone to keep a pista and a convertible. I wld think theyd want to keep the pistas off the secondary market as long as possible and what i thought we wld see is “you can have an aperta but u need to keep the pista for 24 months”

You can add that to the long list of things about this world about which I simply don't know

 

Great point, I will be taking it to the track for sure. Never tracked a car of mine.

 

They do this and they will never sell a lusso or portofino again and there 488 and f12 sales will drop 50 percent

$500K for a Pista is getting pretty crazy.

Probably less than 2 years from now the replacement will be better in every possible way for $300K. There is no "last of the..." reasoning. $500K is just too much for this car.

I think it's safe to say that Ferrari is now more than happy to eat the flipper's lunch. There will be little to no premium left for this to flip. In some sense it makes perfect sense, but one could also argue for just selling them cheaper and making more of them, quicker, so everyone gets one.

 

Keep in mind they are a public company and have given targets to analysts.

The Pista at this price has a greater profit margin than a 488. Look for an early stop to 488 production so they can produce only Pista’s for the next 2 years.

 

Sorry to tell you all - like it or not, they’ll sell all of them, every single one. When the replacement comes along, there will be a long line for that one, then a long line for the special variants of it. Ferrari doesn’t play in the secondary market. They are a public company and they need to deliver.

 

Not sure if anyone is aware of this, but Ferrari is top profit car of any manufacturers in the world at 90,000 per car,
Closest second is Porsche at 17-18,000 per car
