Deviated stitching only brings attention to how misaligned Ferrari stitch work is. Look how many instances there are in just one small pic.
Yep, IMO a must have option. I chose black Alcantara with yellow special stitching. Stuck with leather on the rear wall; just couldn’t live with carpet.
Seen several Pistas done that way here but to see it on a F8 just tells you he sure went the full mile but its for sale ? Dont get it.
F8 was a two year run, they did not make that many. Plus there was no special model like the Pista or Speciale. It’s the last of the non hybrid V8’s. I even heard they made less coupes then Pista coupes? If you got one at MSRP you won’t loose. I do think they will soften up just like everything else, but I don’t think they will be below MSRP.
I wouldn't call that a flaw. That is character. A flaw would be a paint run. But I will point out that the amount of stitching has progressively got less. Look at the stitching on the dash and follow the sequence 458 > 488 > F8 > 296. That is loosing character. The decrease is so as to increase through put . Simple fact. Get ready to see ZERO stitching in the future.
Agree but with stitching there will be slight deviations. Also note that the leather pieces are stretched and that will also make the line move.
YMMV, but In my experience owning and being in and around sports cars and supercars, Ferrari corners the sloppy stitch work market. My 5 Porsches were flawless. I don’t think that was due to luck.
They are advertised well all over the MSRP. But are they sold at that price is the question. Only people that can tell are those that have sold one or those that have bought one.

There is no one on here who loves their car more than I do but even at $687k that’s almost $250k profit. I would be hard pressed to pass up that kind of profit on what is supposedly a depreciating asset.
Adams just posted his spider for $600k. Not sure if his local taxes but looks like he’s hoping to make around 100-150k.
Local F8S 575K against 400 ish msrp Local GTS 750 against a 550 MSRP Not staying in the showroom long. Factor 6% for the dealer commission 140 for F8 to owner 155 for the GTS owner Sounds ballpark.
Yes true and very tempting if it was a deal to go ahead but in 2022 what will be the next new car ? A hybrid . Everyone is different. 15 or so cars I've owned in 40 years ALL were brand new. Sorry I will never buy a car that has belonged to someone else. Money you can make it . A new Ferrari , rear engine , that you bought with love cannot be bought again ( non electric ) Unless you have a lazy 10 million. Buying cars this dear makes no logic. The only logic is that you have the capital to buy one and WANT it. Ild rather make my money some other way.
You are partially right I think. I am like you, I would prefer a new car over a preowned car. However for a lot of us that isn’t always realistic or practical. My financial advisor thinks that it is completely ridiculous that I buy as many cars as I have much less buy a brand new Ferrari! But the sheer joy I get overrides his advice. Making money for me is not easy or simple it requires a lot of work and liability. The opportunity to make $200k+ on a car is hard to turn down. I have been offered a tidy profit for my car. I have to this point turned it down. But with this crazy economy and the stock market who knows going forward what I will do.
commission is 6% or is it depending on the car? ie 6% on a portofino vs sf90 - or fixed price ? what has been peoples experience
