488 GTB Production Delivery Timeline

Yah just ask what status number you are at. It's easy to find out. That would be nice if they added this to the my Ferrari site but all it says is when the order was accepted and you should be able to see the option there too although it's often not complete.

 

Can you update me on the situation with your 488 GTB? I recall you mentioning you had it listed for resale by the dealer?

Interested to see how that whole process went...

 

That's how it's done and everyone is happy. I do the same Except this time they bought my 488 GTB with a 351k sticker they still have the car on the floor after 3 months

 

Thanks for the input, as a current 488 owner that's looking to move up to a Spifer (eventually), would love to know how it all plays out in the end.

What happens if you receive your Spider and your 488 GTB isn't sold by then?

 

You're seeing the following (or I have as talking with dealers):
$351 MSRP cars going for $330's
$285 MSRP cars going for $295
$319 MRSP cars going for low $300's

Never good to get highly optioned F car.

 

More data to consider:

My last production photo was listed on March 9th. Today my dealer called and said my 488 Spider will arrive in 2 days. That is about 5 weeks from the date of the last production picture. I am on the East Coast.

 

Interesting, as my last production photo was exactly the same date as yours, except I took delivery of my car this past Saturday.... I am on the east coast as well.

 

What date did you go status 90?

 

Guess mine took the slow boat

 

Just curious, how long did it take to get your third and last production pic after the second one?

 

If memory serves correct it was about 2 to 3 days

 

Thanks. Something must have slowed down. Have been waiting about 7 days since my second photo.

 

Just learned from the dealer the current list price on a 488 Spider is $280,900 plus $3,750 for delivery. When I ordered the car last May the list was $272,700.

Wish I could do this in my business (and get away with it).

 

A year newer car and Fiat likes extra $$. Not a big deal.

 

I should have been more clear. Although I ordered the car in May once the pricing was released for the 2017 model year the Spider was $272,700. So they increased the price at least once during the same model year.

 

Yep dealer should have told you. They told me and I ordered in October 2016

 

This is what I am finding during my search within the last month.

 

I was told when I ordered that given the long wait times for the Spider (except you special guys ), I could expect some increases to my estimated cost before delivery, and that held true when a conversation with my dealer 6 mos later revealed the base increase to $280K. I guess the bigger point here for me is that it made no difference, if the base price had been quoted at $280K from day one, or even $290K, it's not like I would have walked out....it's a Ferrari, if I want it that's the price.

checked today and my car is at status 30, expected delivery to dealer 26 May (UK)

At what stage do you first receive pics, and do they come through email, dealer or through personal area on ferrari.com?

Thanks

 

You should be getting your first photo around now or very soon. You will receive an email from Ferrari letting you know the production photo is available on your personal area on Ferrari.com

 

Status 40 2 weeks ago. Still no photos. Must be delays in Italy.

 

Just got update and my car remains is Status 40 now for 2.5 weeks Seams pretty odd considering the timeline for Status 40 is typically a few days?
