    Where do you live? That will answer the question. In US - Zero Discount. In UK and Europe - discount!

    I've seen buyers ask for (and get) some "extras"...nothing material, but shirts, ferrari swag, etc.

    I mean come on, its a $300,000 car, what do you expect? :)

    [seriously, they can fairly easily find another buyer at MSRP, so why discount?]

    I got a set of 3 golf balls and a key chain for free with my 458. That was surprising. The dealers make about 12% profit on the cars, unless they are of ferraris naughty list. That's 30k profit per car or more! Not a bad deal (although the volume is quite low)

    I think FOA gets about 35 new cars a year. Not much profit to run a dealership with.

    No soup for me!

    I asked and they said no dice.

    Ordered Tour de france blue, went a little nuts with carbon fibre and the car clocked in at just over 400k cdn.

    Got to meet Remo Ferri, that was cool.

    Car will be here end of June, will post pics.

    Can't wait!

    Good guy. When your car arrives, they will probably put 3M stone guard on the front end at no cost to you. No promises, but that's my guess.

    Yeah he actually told me as I was leaving that they would.

    Should I go for it?

    I've heard it's not done well, I can always remove it I suppose.
