Got a 458. Almost...

Black bolt that car was nice for sure.
All these dealers do these tactics i bet they knew they had
That original deposit and still took yours just in case the first one
Falls through.
Not good business but hey what do i know.

 

I would be having a quiet conversation with the service manager at your dealership and get the inside scoop on any other white Italia that he knows about. He sees them all...

 

Foreign Cars Italia.
I have bought many cars from them.
Check this one out.

2012 Ferrari 458 Italia Base Greensboro NC 11289629

 

There was probably a lot of interest in that vehicle, reasobably priced desirable 458s sell closing to asking at current prices. It was an unfortunate situation and I had a similar thing happen to me twice when I was searching for one. I even attempted to put in a bigger offer on one of them. thats why when I saw another one that suited my taste, I made an offer without hesitation and quickly put in a deposit. For me the extra $10k wasn't worth the games.

 

Looks to be a similar spec. Put in a deposit and enjoy the car next week. Good luck

 

Bro , it wasn't meant to be . You will find a nicer one . I'm sure. Good luck .

 

Never look back, there's another.

 

Take your time and dont rush it just because you want to fix what happened. The right one will pop up and you'll just know it. Good luck

 

my friend everything happens for reason...u might find a better deal u never know.
Move on and tell your lady to dry her eyes and not to worry.

 

Fwiw , Ferrari of Palm Beach has a few white ones with Nero interiors and all CPO cars. I bought mine there . Jay is the GM and Sal was great to work with. I felt like I got a great deal and fair money for my trade. Don't be discouraged bro . Best.

 

I have a white / black 2015 458 I might be interested in selling. It has some carbon fiber but no sport seats. Only has 1200 miles and is in mint condition. I'm awaiting my 488 in April. PM me if interested and I can give you more details. It's a really nice example and still has lots of warrantee left along with extensive 3M protection on exterior.

 

Hope u can find the strenght to go on. Once lived through this, nothing can stop you.

 

Sorry to hear. I had that happen on a different brand of car. Put deposit down and then a few hours later they called me and said....No dice someone already had a deposit. Trust me I know how you felt... I was ticked!!!
That 2011 in AZ is nice..... Price seems a tad high for the mileage....180k would be a deal.
Good luck on your search. Keep us posted.

 

You ought to "out" these guys. Awfully hard to believe they "forgot" they sold a Ferrari three days before. As if they really sell that many Ferrari's that they would not notice that. It is not a Toyota dealer!

In fact I would say to them: Clearly, for whatever reason something pretty bad happened hear due to a lack of appropriate controls at some level (playing along with the idea you believe them). Listen, mistakes/accidents happen even at good businesses. What distinguished good businesses is how they handle these problems when they occur. Likewise, I think most exotic car buyers understand that mistakes happen and care more about how you handle them when they do. As such lets come up with a solution that will be judged as "doing the right things" by not only you and I but the community at large.

 

Yea I don't think its intentional. I bought two of my Ferraris through the Florida dealership and had it brought up here.

 

Black bolt maybe they will give one of the newer 458 at a big discount...
Hey you never know.
Just ask!
In Long Island they have a few white 458's

 

I agree! They should make it right, which in my opionion means steep discount on a different 458.

 

Aren't most of them consignment cars? Maybe they can lower their take to facilitate another purchase.
