    Dear All,

    Have ordered the GTS. Stiching/accents are reversed but not shown. Titanium wheel bolts to be added. Have an 812 (similar specs/colour etc.) but the "hit" I am already taking (on the 812) is ridiculous. I am not going to lie; it's bothering me! Am in Dubai and the amount of "exotic" cars in the secondary market is for me, concerning. Everything is available and at great prices. Low mileage and by that I mean 100km! Curious if this is the the same everywhere else. Delivery expected end of October. Are most people exchanging?

    Rosso 70- awesome! My 812 is that color. I decided to pass on the GTS, mainly because of the GPF issue and I want a Pista. I currently have the 812 and a Speciale, will be keeping both when I find a Pista. Not interested in the F8 or SF90.

    Yup big depreciations here too.
    Feel your pain with those hits.
    Nice spec though , I like all the carbon inside
    Keep the smile , remember one bad investment could have the same effect as the hits and you would have no reason to smile.

    Thanks guys. Test drove the F8. Offered the spider for October/November delivery. Have to say, loved the drive...the stiffness of the steering and connection to the road!

    Congrats :)
    If you can afford it (and consider it's worth it), don't care about depreciation and just enjoy...
    In my case, after months of being doubtful about depreciation as reported by US observers, I experienced first hand how bad the situation is becoming in Europe (for the record, now second hand Pista can be bought for about MSRP, which means the first buyers are actualy losing money on them, considering unrecoverable registration fees and consignment commissions).
    So much so that I really question the sense of buying a new car when few years old ones (like my 2015 488 GTB) are offering unmatched value for money.

    Is the 812 difficult to get for a first time Ferrari buyer?

    Save yourself $150,000 and get a 15 month old one

    Will the GPF issue be in US models as well?

    Not sure about US but in Dubai/UAE all new models will have GPF issues. However, I was told a new 812 Superfast will not as it is grandfathered here. Unfortunately, am trading in!!
