    OP asked for dealer allocation. It totally depends on location. In the US, without prior purchase, it can take 2-3 yrs; in Europe it's 12 months; with prior Ferrari dealer purchase it will probably be 12 months. And as previous poster said, pre-owned immediately but expect to pay a 15-20% premium

    I got a California T in the bay area last Sept. and I was promised a 488 delivery in 8-10 months. My built date will be March this year and possible delivery by May (hoping).

    Robert,

    By prior purchase you mean necessarily a new car (vs. two, three pre-owned Ferrari Approved purchases to the same official dealer for instance)?

    Kind regards,

    Nuno.

    In Montreal, Canada. It is about 10 months of a GTB and 18 months for a spider.

    I believe his question is related asking the time between allocation to delivery, not how long is the wait for an allocation.

    Allocation to delivery - 4.5 to 5 months

    Once you get an allocation (red 10) the build (red 20) will begin about two months after. So, January allocation is a March build with roughly a late May/early June delivery (red 94). If anyone has differing thoughts, please chime in, but I believe this is correct.

    Where ? Contacted a few and that is not the case with main dealers at least. Maybe a little on huge option list cars, certainly no premium, but most around list still. What cars are you referring to ?
