    So I have been lurking around here for a while, and asked a few questions mostly regarding well used FFs. However, I could not find any used ones that had the right color combo and panoramic roof...

    And then the GTC4Lusso talk started in 2015, and well I got a bit curious if that would be something to like. I do like 4 tail lights you see...

    However, we (as in my wife and I) decided to just forget about economics (reason to buy a used FF) and accept that what ever we do, we will live with - a penny here or there did just not make any sense to talk about, it will cost us, and we will happily live with it.

    So rather late last year we ordered a brand new FF, and I let my wife design it (only way to get approval...):

    (hmm... okay so I can not link to a picture - got to be something about paid subscription I guess)

    Anyway, we totally love our 2016 FF - and we have no regret what-so-ever about getting a FF instead of the GTC4Lusso - it is the opposite actually, we are soooo happy we got one of the last FFs before it went GTC4Lusso - we just prefer the "old" design so much more. One has to remember that design and how one values a design is totally up to each and everyone.

    Great color. I seem to fall in the category of liking ff more than gtc4. Maybe it's because I have an ff and I have yet to see gtc4 in person. Congrats on the car!

    Good color for you both! Congrats. Maybe best to get the evolved FF parts vs. the first gen Chrysler Lexus.

    TdF is always beautiful on almost every Ferrari, but it tends to be especially so on the 2 + 2's.

    Exquisite car - drive it every day!

    very nice I really like the color but now that you have the new FF why not subscribe it is very low cost for what you get.. something like $25 per year..
    I did and it is well spent
    good luck with the car....

    Your wife has excellent taste. Thats the exact color combo i would get an FF.

    Don't think about economics. Realistically speaking, its an excellent decision if you use the car as your daily driver. 7 years warranty and free service. You only pay petrol and insurance for the next 7 years on a V12 exotic supersport 4 seater with a trunk and 4 wheel drive.

    Thats an brilliant outcome :)

    Hmmm - you are suggesting new rims? I totally love the one I got (If my priority would be aftermarket wheels, I would not have payed extra for the one's I got).

    Your car looks fantastic.

    I just happened to come across these and this photo yesterday. Personally I think that 22s are too big both visually and for the car's dynamics. 21' maybe all around for a track wheel, 20" are great for the street !

    Congratulations on the car!

    Spooky, we also have a TDF over Cuoio with yellow calipers and the optional alloys...it's a beautiful and classic spec. In fact, my wife spec'd this one as well (this is our 2nd FF, first was Pozzi....TDF has a nicer finish on this car in our view)

    Enjoy it. The more miles, the better.
