RHD Aussie delivered but US spec?
What does that mean?

Anyway I didn’t realise Greg had driven his that much.

 

It means that (a) the seller is a sad wanker and (b) it has exhaust catalysts. Prior to 1986, Aus ddelivered Ferraris used a Swiss-spec engine with notably reduced power.

 

No, we used a Swiss spec as they were still leaded fuel.

 

Aaahh the wonderful days of leaded fuel......... beautiful silver coloured exhausts pipes after a hard run!

 

No vacuum enrichment device on the WUR

 

Yeeeessssss.

 

No idea how true this is

I know roughly what we get as a base margin as a Dealer, but can't speak for all Dealers. I know that the options/extras have a big influence on margins too. It's quite a bit less than 20% on the base car price though. Our main benefit is on the deposit money people pay for the new cars up to 18 months in advance!

Anyway, we also have to jump through various hoops to maintain supply quotas as well (although that may ease a bit if the US government ever makes a clear decision about which way it's going to go in terms of stupid tariffs etc. less effect on a RHD market though - they will pivot more to middle east and China I suspect.)
I also have to spend about £5 million pounds a year on parts. Now that's where they have some really good margins...

Very nice car, sir.

Nothing wrong with a 348 either though...

 

That car is nothing short of spectacular!

There was one for sale for $190K when I purchased my 348 for $115K back in 2005.

I should have kept saving up for another 12 months or less and purchased that car for $190K.

Now they are worth $600K and my car is worth $50K.

 

Who's that gorgeous man in the Hawaiian shirt in the background?

 

Happy to take your 348 off you for $50k mate.
