Depreciation Discussion Thread

Exactly! These cars are made to provide pleasure while driving them, and those who pass by and don't drive their cars haven't understood the very essence of life... perhaps they think they are eternal ?
Confusing Wall Street and Ferrari is a shame... if driving a Ferrari is no longer exciting, then I wonder what could excite them...

 

My car is still stuck at the Port. It has been there a couple of months, I think. I’ll have to look back through emails to see when I first got the notification that it was there. Still no idea when it gets out. :/

 

Thats unusual. It is due to the tariffs?
And if your car is painted with PPG paint then the cost of the paint should not be subject to the tariffs since PPG is a US company!

It’s impossible to parse out the cost of the standard paint.

But if you chose the fancy paint option then there is a line item cost. One could write to the US Customs and Duty office and petition to have the tariff percentage of your paint refunded to you since the paint came from a US company.

Cheapo paint is 12,500 plus taxes. Let’s say that lines out at say 14,000 so that refund would be $4,800 roughly


If your paint costs 40K then with taxes that 43,000 and the refund back should be 13,500.

Anyway sorry.
I know ! There is no math on Fchat!

 

I checked my email and it has been at the port since mid June. So, not as long as it seems since apparently they do nothing during August!

Apparently, Ferrari pushed as many vehicles through to the U.S. when tariff began to loom. This created a big glut at the port and they are having quite a time working through that inventory.

 

Very well put. At some point everyone realizes they are not eternal but by then its too late to turn back the clock and start having fun.

 

Sorry to hear that it's been stuck there. Hopefully you will get it soon and start enjoying it.

 

Sorry to hear that, delays at the port, for whatever the reason(s), have become more and more common.

 

that's the case for 296VS at least Aperta has a mininum 3 ferrari cars requirement, not purchase history - owned and linked to your account. I think the stat I was told is Top customers have on average 15 F cars.
