prices paid f430 spider

As I am new to the board and just bought my first Ferrari please forgive my ignorance. Before buying my car I did tons of research and read every article I could find about what people were going thru in regards to wait time as well as what people were paying for the car. But I am wondering what the real story is. As I see it the first new Ferrari you buy you will be paying a premium of 20-30% over msrp. In a couple of years you sell the car back to the dealer (how much below msrp does the dealer pay for a 2 yr old car with 3k miles on it?) and then you buy your next Ferrari at msrp. Is this the way the game is played? Are many people paying msrp for their first F430? If so how long was the wait? Any sharing of your experience would be greatly appreciated or if there is a thread that already covered this please let me know. This seems like a great board with a lot of really nice helpful people on it. I have already learned a lot about my new car. Here is a picture of the car when i picked it up.

Thanks

May I ask if you experienced a premium when buying your ride?

 

Thanks Kenny that thread was just what I was looking for....there seems to be a wide range of experiences on the subject. Yes I paid a premium of 20%

 

Congrats on your new toy. It is beautiful. It took me 5 yrs to get my 430 Spider at MSRP from the time I put a deposit down
