Would you decline delivery of your Ferrari if there is a tariff (US buyers)?

We had local car manufacturing , ok. However imports still happened and were tariffed. People still bought the Tariffed cars because the local manufacture did not give the buyer what he wanted.

I never bought a locally made car. Why ? I didn't want a 4 door family car. I wanted a sports 2 door car.

I bought a RX7 at 22k when a locally made Holden was only 10 k.

Even with Tariffs I am saying people will buy what they want.

 

You seem to be jumping on each side of the argument of tariffs.

I looked at my offending post where I said tariffs are bad idea. I guess that was political.

Does this mean the only acceptable answers to the OP's thread is yes or no? If so, my answer is no. I have a Porsche on order with a May delivery. If Porsche says I need to cough up an additional $35,000, the answer is no.

 

The answer may be around the corner.

We'll be announcing it very soon," he told reporters at an appearance with members of his cabinet. "It'll be 25% generally speaking and that will be on cars and all other things

 

Shift to Canada and solve your problems. (or Mexico)
You may be better off there six months from now.

 

I'll ask.

 

IMO Ferrari will be insulated from any tariffs. New Ferrari buyers aren’t exactly scraping together couch change to make payments. Most people buying new from Ferrari dealerships are doing it for exclusivity and conspicuous consumption. A high tariff only adds to that allure.

Porsche, bmw and the others, that’s a different story. Imagine paying 130k for an emira.

 

Yes I stand corrected. I forgot how accurate polls are

Plenty of places with even higher tariffs. From what I remember Hong Kong has an essentially 100% tariff. Lots of Ferraris there

 

Imagine paying $150k for a 911!!!

 

A poll is a poll. Now that the 25% Tariff is being applied how many of you WHO do have a Ferrari on order will TRY to cancel it ?

Where is @major I believe he said it wasn't happening ?

QUOTE : " Its not going to happen. "

 

Your statement is uncoordinated. April 2 is a long time from now...it certainly is not today not to mention the latest proclamations are now saying 'soon' or 'very soon' with April 2 bandied about but there is no formal declaration. And new reciprocal tariff language is being mentioned, meaning matching current tariffs...

In other words, the game is still in play and Ferrari only imports somewhere around 200-300 cars per month to USA and could easily warehouse them in Europe for a period of time (they already do that now to 'time' sales for quarterly reports) in case the tariffs actually occur and then are rescinded.

 

How many US dealers are there?

 

Fair enough , lets see if April 4 is in play.

Stats show 5,000 Ferraris to North America.

Remember these are not standard cars. 99.9 % are customised so I cant agree that they would warehouse them.

Maybe someone can chime in , what it cost them when they cancelled their Ferrari after already giving the second deposit.

By 'Warehouse', they will do that if the outlook for a short-term tariff increase is expected, not to never deliver, just delayed as tariff is due on import not at time of customer sale.

 

Looks like:
46 or maybe a few fewer...

Interesting. Each dealership gets maybe 6 cars a month. I don't care how much profit you make per car, six sales a month does not make a profitable business model.

 

Then why are there no more stand-a-alone dealers? Every dealership is part of a chain of non-Ferrari dealerships.

 

could ferrari not manufacturer in US seeing that is what they are essentially trying to be forced into doing?
the used car market will go absolutely wild when this goes through, can american manufacturers really supply the entire country themselves?

 

You are delusional. I have a 296GTS (550k build) and a Roma Spider (high 300s) in production. I am not eating over 200k just for ****s and giggles. I am not struggling but I am not stupid.
