    I wish my local Ferrari dealer sals guys would approach me and try to work out a sale....I go in there for service and wait or just stop in and see what they have and NO ONE outside the service manager speaks. Sometimes I walk the sales floor and never see anyone but the girl at the front counter. Wild!...I'd outsell all of them at the Ferrari dealer!

    Anyway, I've warmed up to the 296 a little more as I've seen more in person but still wouldn't buy one mainly as I really am too tall for the 296. It might be a fun car for a year or 2 but I'd hate to own one and keep it and have the hybrid battery lose power and have to deal with that issue.

    My F8 is exactly where I want to be after having a 488. No interest in a hybrid. If I could add another it would be an 812 gts

    Same as above, 5 years in with my F8 - plan to keep forever. Want to add a front engine V12 at some point.

    EXACT same way with me over 20+ years.... have never once been approached by a salesperson. Just see the girl in front and speak with my SA... and I usually stop in and say hi to the GM who is my friend but ive never been approached, not once ever, in all my times and years that I've been in the dealership... even when I'm walking around the showroom alone looking for a long time.

    I want one so bad but I don't love the price or the depreciation. If they creep into the $300's I may have to do it though.

    Been offered several customer declined 296s at my dealership, even tempted me with a 296 Speciale allocation if I would take one. I have warmed up to the looks of the 296, but the nose is just too “soft” looking and in my eyes the F8 blows it away in that regard. Problem with the 296 is I’d eat 100K driving it off the lot, then 12-18 months later when I trade it back for the Speciale, then where is it gonna be? :eek: No doubt the 296 is a great driving car, but don’t want to replace my F8 with it. Personally I think the SF 90 is a better looking car than the 296, I do watch the market on those….
