12 Cilindri Deposit

I made a deposit on a Maserati years ago when the Ferrari was selling them.

I decided to cancel my early deposit and order a Ferrari instead. But they werent even taking deposits on the new Ferrari model.

Took me a few calls and a few minths to get the refund.

I believe that cahs flow issues are the readon.

Right now used cars arent moving and the margins are a bit thin.

As long as your dealership isn't stating that your deposit cannot be refunded, I assume that your deposit was either invested in a Cd or TBill . Your gonna wait until that turns over.

 

when did you put in your original deposit?
the dealership changed hands in 2024.

 

This is an interesting area. I was told recently the $30k deposit gets sent over to Ferrari now for the 12 Cilindri, etc, and the dealers do not get to hold on to it. I've often wondered about that, and how that all works, as historically the dealers have held on to the deposits as they go towards the car itself when you purchase it.

 

This tracks. I was told the same thing.

 

Sounds like bs to me. First no way Italy has the deposit. The dealer surely keeps that until they need to pay on import. Plain and simple you are getting jacked around. I’d get forceful. Daily contact with them and up the irritation.

 

Have you been in contact with the GM? You need to talk directly to him. Let him know that it can be handled the easy way, or the hard way (Google, BBB, CA DOJ, etc).

 

I have been waiting three months and. counting for a purosangue deposit. No idea what is going on. Pure runaround.

 

you are incorrect - the factory holds the big deposits now. Can only speculate as to why but it does guard against a dealer going out of business and having to the deposits disappear.

 

The USA market is handled by FNA.

I do not believe that the deposit is paid to Ferrari SPA.
Ferrari SPA would deal with Euros and not dollars
Then there is the issues of duty and tariffs and many other tax issues.

Keep on them and you will get the refund

Remember this when dealing with Ferrari in the future

 

I think the deposits are handled by regional offices and not dealers and not the factory. For example I am in Europe but because I ordered a RHD car my dealer asked me to pay the deposit in GBP instead of Euro. I assume because RHD orders go via the UK Ferrari office. ‍♂️

 

Dude you need to get real with them. They are screwing around with you. Which dealer?

 

What is the difference between a big and small deposit then? Evidence and amount?

 

Correct. Deposits always and payments go to dealer. What is evidence otherwise?

 

Well I have a car at the port now and what I don’t think they realize is that they never took the second deposit from me so I can refuse delivery and still get that deposit back as well as I never went non refundable. So I am not taking delivery unless that deposit is applied to the new car. FOD.

 

Complain to FNA That would be the next step in escalation ladder.

Hiring an attorney doesn’t make financial
Sense

Write a letter

 

FoD is a fantastic dealer, so I'm sure they'll get this sorted for you.

 

My issue is responsiveness. I email or reach to rep and then silence. I am always chasing them to just have the courtesy of responding to communications. Drives me nuts.

 

So many cancellations, I think dealers are getting crushed taking these cars into inventory and can't write these checks.

 

Dealer has your money not Ferrari
