    anyone else find it is a hard system to use? too graphics heavy, so slow. get the model you want, but can't figure out why no results until you dig down and change the default more than 100 miles from zip. remove one model from search and try to select another that you know has results because it doesn't say none available, but yet it locks up and won't let you select.

    Rob - you REALLY expected it to be easy, without effort or frustration, and to be user friendly? Have you met ANY of the historic Ferrari products. You'll have to search for 458s if you want it to be user friendly!!

    LOL

    yup. Lame and essentially unusable.

    Searching for used ferrari's means attempting to find all the inventory across many unique sites...and sorting through the duplicate listings...Its "part of the fun" to attempt to find all the used Ferrari's for sale to the fanboys...its annoying and ineffiecient to others (me included)...oh, well...there are lots of the recent models out there, so eventually you find the one you want.

    That said, I do wish at least Ferrari offered a nationwide site for all dealer inventory cars...those are sometimes the hardest to find...

    Yes, it's very weak and frankly, surprisingly poor. I get the feeling that it's not updated often enough.

    I also don't like that you have to scroll through screens to see all the cars and can't easily compare cars and prices. If you look at Ebay, it's easy to do.

    Maybe that's why some dealers advertise on Ebay when they want to move metal.

    What is also surprising is that the configurator is also weak. Given that someone is buying a car for 300 grand, there are limited views and not all the options are listed. WORSE, no pricing for the options are listed.
