Well, Contract signed, Money wired, now just waiting to get it from Midwest to California.

I was nervous flying to check this car out... only because I just didn't want to see it and be underwhelmed in person becuase Sliver is a hard color to judge in photos. But as I was walking up to it my mind was saying "holy **** that thing is bad ass!" because that is how my mind talks in my head.... but I said to the sales person, "that looks really nice".

Anyway test drive happened, the Car was everything people say, just a fantastic car. Drove the F8 before this so was able to A/B them and I can say, (to me) it was a significantly better feeling car than the F8, more spritely handling, and more solid build feel as some said on this forum already.

My Car is a 2022 dealer demo with 4200 miles and it was one of the lower priced ones in the market but had a much higher spec than most on the Market which I assume was the miles deduction. I told them I'm not sure about the quality overall since the 296 is fairly new , and the Hybrid Drive Train since its so new... but the Dealership said they are providing 2 years of the Factory Warranty, not the lower coverage Power15 warranty, they said I get Services until 2030, and Hybrid Drivetrain coverage to 2030, and they said it has only been a dealer owned demo car and serviced at ever interval, and they have a new Spider as the new DEMO car. So I thought, well I'm covered for two years with Factory Warranty so I can feel pretty safe about Tracking and driving it alot. But, this showed me they were willing to show trust in the Car by giving the extra year and 2 overall years of full factory warranty. So that was a MASSIVE point in favor of Ferrari for me. McLaren was telling me on the used 2023 750s I was looking at, that I would be charged roughly $6500 to $7000 a year to extend the warranty another year, and it wasn't the full coverage warranty like I'm getting with Ferrari. I also already knew McLaren required that you take the McLarens in for an pre and post inspection for Tracking it at a cost of $400 to $600 each inspection, yet Ferrari said they don't care if I track it or not. So in the end the company I wanted to go with just got blown out of the water by the company I thought was actually a company I wouldn't want to deal with.
Live and learn,

WelI , I hope you do close this week! Bigger pool of owners in the 269 community can be more interesting... I don't actually know how many there are in this area that are 296 owners since I'm new to this side.

The OP did OCD levels of research and then bought a car and doesn't know what color it is?

maybe I missed something?

I think I miss spoke … OPs car may well be Grigio Titanio as he states - just looks more silvery in the bright lighting and white background of the pic
