    Have all the F8 ordered been delivered? If not anyone selling coupe or allocation. Deciding between F8 and 488 at this moment. Any recommendation would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    No, many people are waiting for their F8 deliveries. The order books have been closed for a few months now. No one will "sell" you their allocation when pre-owned F8s are going for at least $100k over. I don't think dealers will allow that either. Your best bet is the pre-owned market but expect to pay a hefty premium.

    Saw a beautiful Grigio Alloy F8 coupe at Ferrari Westlake today. Basically brand new and it’s about 70k over. Nice spec.

    This is 100% correct. You missed the boat on a brand new F8 and be prepared to pay a premium for anything in this market. There are plenty of F8 out there with delivery miles so get your checkbook ready and post some pictures when you get one!:):)

    Thanks for the information. Talk about a mistake as I paused for F8 ordering and by the time I decided it was CLOSED. Thanks for the information, now I know what I am facing.

    Goonthree, I am over in Tampa and have been thinking about, toying around with possibly selling my 2019 488. Let me know what color option and all your interested in and see if this might be a fit.

    Are you thinking of consigning it?

    Have you tried reaching out to your dealer? Most have a consignment program?

    10% if you have an ordered car or buying another car from them. They wanted $2000 for an alignment and $800 to flush the brakes...yep.

    I am honestly about done with this car crap...so over it all. The older I get the less I want to put up with the highway robbery and dealer and service center raping. I am preparing to list my car and sell it myself...we will see.

    You should consign it with Darren Scuffil owner of Black Horse Motors, Naples, FL. He charges 6% and is a very honest, straightforward, no BS guy. I bought my 2018 488 GTB from him and could not be happier with the deal.

    Can I ask when you picked it up and what you paid for your 488 in relation to MSRP?
