How much over MSRP and wait times for F430

I think this guy is getting a little picky. On average a 430 is around $200K so I'm seeing them in the $230's. If he wants to split hairs you can tack on anything over a $200 MSRP to the $230 market price range. Of course that's within reason as I doubt someone would be willing to pay a lot more for ceramics for example.

 

I don't understand the point. Moreover, I was not disputing what you originally presented, but simply trying to help you clarify it because, without clarification (MSRP), your original statement about "seeing coupes in the $230s" had no impact. The only point I picked up in your last post above was an inconsistency between fact and fiction. MSRP is not anywhere near $200K. MSRP for an F1 coupe is as follows: $174,585.00, $350.00 prep and delivery, $4500.00 gas guzzler tax, and destination charges (mine were $1350.00). Total = $180,785.00. A 6-speed would be a lot less. Accordingly, when you see something advertised for $230K, the seller may be asking for $49,215.00 in profit. Or, if that seller is I, the profit narrows to $20,190.00. That is the point that my original post intended to clarify, in fewer words.

 

By the time you get a few options on the car it's around $200K sticker, no? That's been my understanding. These are the cars that I'm now seeing in the $230's.

Substitute the word MSRP with sticker in my last post and hopefully that'll unravel the mystery

 

No, it's difficult to hit a $200K MSRP unless ordering substantial options, including the rarely ordered carboceramic brake system. Consider the more following common options and you'll understand:

6-cd player: free (not an option anymore)
colored brake calipers: $930.00
Scuderia Ferrari shields: $1,418.00
high power hifi with subwoofer: $1,934.00
all stitchings in colour (FNA's spelling of "color"): $301.00

Accordingly, even if you ordered all of the above "popular" options, your price tag is $185,368.00, well under $200K.

 

F1 and Carbon brakes are the two big options - they total, what, $25k or so alone. My 6-spd coupe with power seats, shields, calipers, and Challenge wheels totaled $177.0k before tax and license.

OK, my bad. Hmm, $230ish isn't that great of a deal afterall

 

My stick shift coupe was 178,297. If it had paddles, it would be about 10K more, still well short of 200K. I did see a cooupe in the showroom recently waiting to be picked up that had just about everything. MSRP was about 248K. This is a coupe!

Whoa! Must have every option available, that's amazing.

That would be $67,215.00 in options for an F1 coupe. I don't believe that is possible. Wait-- maybe the gangsta rappa solid gold rims was an option that was not offered to me.

 

Just left the dealer to get my order sheet. Base price is as follows for 1.5 to 2 year wait.

F1 - $180,785k
6 speed - $170,045k

Spider
F1- $205k
6 Speed $193k


I am going to get a well optioned 6 speed spider

Glad to see someone in the US can spell colour correctly

But I suspect the contents of that spec sheet was taken from the European one by FNA.

 

FNA spells color as "colour" on its U. S. window stickers. I was reading from my window sticker. I think I am addressing your question, but I'm not sure what the question addresses.

 

It wasn't a question.

Just a kinda joke to highlight its not just "How FNA spells color", but how most of Europe and probably the World does.

 

I know there is an F430 Rosso/Tan with Carbon Ceramic Breaks, Carbon Fiber Interior (possibly "Driver Zone" Pkg), Shields, F1 Trans, etc... for 30K over window sticker. Delivery by the end of October.

 

My 430 F1 with shields,yellow calipers,electric seats,lthr headliner and shelf delivered at $187,946,

 

Well said Jack. Great of you to articulate your views without flaming.
