    Everyone has their own style. If for example you are a cash buyer (most/many) then leverage that aspect. As mentioned above, go see the car. Look at it, FSH. Then ask about PPI.

    I love the suggestion above- how aggressive can you be? Highlight perhaps the aspects against sale right now-winter, convertible, blah blah - other cars you are considering. Make your offer and stick to it. When I have offered significantly less than asking for anything, I often couch it in terms of my budget. That way we are not arguing about the value, just what I can pay right now. If the other side comes down to close, I move ahead. If they do not move at all, I move on. Should be a negotiation.

    In general, Ferrari dealers are not easy negotiators for newer cars. Consigned cars, yes. Midrange such as this one, perhaps. Depends on many factors. My California from FOH was reduced two weeks before. I asked about another reduction and was told plainly, “We are not interested in another reduction at this point in time.” So, this price or nothing.

    Lastly, there are more out there. Do not bypass the PPI or pay more.

    When I was looking for my FF, the one I really wanted was sold before I could make the deal. It came back six months later. There’s always another.

    Do not buy on price but know your comfort zone and budget.

    We expect pictures when you close the deal.
