    I know there is another thread speculating about this but since I just took delivery and have my window sticker in hand I'd like to bring this to others attention and get to the bottom of it.

    My window sticker has the base price of my car at $239,340.00 but when I spec'd my car as a 14' model the sticker was $233,509.00 which is a $5,831.00 increase. Plus there was a $1,750.00 TSMG Fee which I have no idea what it is.

    So I would like to know who prints these window stickers? The dealer? FNA? I'm trying to figure out who sets these prices. I do not have any additional standard equipment in my car but paid at least a $7,581 in increases. I'm happy to have my car but I don't like feeling like a sucker either!

    At least you got a window sticker, i called my dealer and asked them to save mine and they said the car wouldn't have a window sticker.

    Can you post a pic?

    TSMG. My dealer said it is not a profit or commission to the dealership, but is fee that Ferrari charges for their own marketing.

    It's a state law here in Michigan to have a window sticker
    Can't speak to the other 49 states
    I have both stickers from the 2 Ferraris purchased new

    No window sticker? That is Very odd. As for the 7k, sounds it's too bad you didn't get anything for it. I probably would have negotiated some of that off, although I guess some dealerships don't do much negotiating, I've always had good luck..

    You should have received the two SAT Nav and Radio options -- $8K price increase seems ridiculous.

    Aside from people opining on here about the inclusion of sat/nav as standard for 2015, I have yet to hear any official confirmation about it. I have a deposit in and a I am currently waiting on an allocation. My dealer still says that FNA has not confirmed anything to them about 2015 pricing, or any new standard equipment.

    It is so great to be in the position of selling cars where there is so much mystic and psychology.

    "If I want a car in a color other than red, does that cost extra?"

    "So you want to buy a car. Yes. And exactly who are you? "

    "I'd like to order my car today. Can pick it up maybe tomorrow or by the end of the week?"

    "Sir, we accept payment in cash, or gold bars, or diamonds--preferably colorless,flawless, and larger stones only-- four or five carats."

    My dealer confirmed today that my 2015 WILL include the Sat. Radio & Nav. These are 2 items I originally didn't order. I'm at status 40 hoping to get in before the August shut down.

    Because it is a known fact Remo charges above MSRP sometimes even 15k.

    I can confirm my dealer said Monday the Sat Radio and Nav were in the base price and it is standard.

    I had a chance to asK him what drove the $1684 MIRROIR PACKAGE on to the car and he said it was the FULL ELECTRIC SEAT OPTION. That makes those seats a $8200 option ouch!

    Apparently - the mirrors auto dim but the most important thing is they fold in when you park and this is considered good because these cars are a lot wider than my F355. - We'll see.

    It's called inflation. Trillions of US dollar units are being conjured up yearly.

    My dealer just advised my base price for my 2015 delivered is 269,903 not the 263,762 that I signed in the contract? sure I get the Nav and the Sat which I do not want but can they just do that at my expense without my approval??

    Who knows, I'd actually rather have the sat radio before the navigation. Oh well.....

    Probably not.

    But they know how bad we want the car.

    Put it this way, they offer you a choice of cancelling the deal and getting your deposit back or taking the car and paying the increase, what are you gonna do?

    I was shocked when I got a 15 and happy to get it. Yes it cost more, but it's also a newer model year.
