458 Spyder Airfreight via Trojan Airways??

Good News, Ferrari N.A. has notified USA, Canada, and SA dealers that the first batch of 458 Spyders will be Airfreighted into the USA to get the cars into their very anxious owners' hands a little sooner than if shipped to Newark by sea, but, there is an associated expense (Bad News) which will be listed on the Window Sticker from the factory, be sure to temper your enthusiasm of getting your car a bit ahead of schedule with the knowledge that the price for airfreight will be in the 6k to 7k range and is sometimes a definite point of contention when not properly disclosed prior to delivery. Unveilings are going to be popping up at local dealers as the first customers' cars begin to arrive, FNA show cars should be at media and show events very soon here in the Southeast. Cant wait to hear the first one blow by!..Ciao, AB/

 

To Clarify, any air freighted car will have a corresponding Airfreight surcharge on the Genuine Ferrari Factory Window Sticker right after the listed Extra Options Line and in between the MSRP total at the bottom, and is labeled as Airfreight Delivery. On the most recent cars to be airfreighted, (2011 California) the charge was around $7000.00 . If you have a relationship with a reputable dealer they will sometimes absorb/share/split the cost and must/should hopefully, as a courtesy, give you a choice of waiting or not. However, in most situations the first cars will be airfreighted with the assumption that the dealer network would have already anticipated this and prepped the clients in regards to this practice. I always thought the option should be addressed at the time the car was built and ordered with either airfreight or container delivery specified on the buildsheet, as there is a specific cost associated with each one, but often it is not. Hope this helps, AB
