Feel like many including myself have explored it and sadly its incredibly cost prohibitive. Even if there was some savings it’s not remotely worth the headache. Sucks
Let’s say I use my dealers license and just keep it in inventory…what would be the costs to import it? VAT?
I think the limiting step on these EU/Japanese cars to get into the US is getting a letter from Ferrari saying it complies with US rules when they visually don't without even asking (lack of sidemarkers for example). There was a time the cars in the middle east were US-spec and could be brought over easily, but I think even now they have their own variant. If you could get a letter saying it complies and avoid federalization, you would have to pay 25% import duties or whatever the new rate applies to unless the car is over 25 years. That would probably negate all the savings. The Speciale goes for $400-500k in Japan and they have dozens available all the time (not Aperta, regular one).
Prices seem to be holding up, two new listings at Ferrari dealers: Red/black (launch spec) w/2.8k miles for $890k: https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/24addf82-9cfd-4b9f-9280-a21592fb318f/ Black/black w/3.9k miles for $900k: https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/e8bcaafd-a481-4891-ae2d-430ca3fbb566/
