New spider for jan05 del...should i pay the deposit?

have been offered a 360 by my dealer for dec04 build with del around jan05

i have spent the better part of my sunday afternoon seaching the board for 360 replacement info(was overwhelmed by the sheer amt of it)
a lot of it informative ...some speculative.....some down right rubbish

knowing my luck and as in the past as soon as i put my deposit or when its time for del ....ferrari would announce the model change or upgrade

regardless i am not selling the modena (so its not that i will be without a f car )its just that i have always wanted a spider(new one ....sorry joe saw yr post of today)

so chaps the question should i or shouldnt i?

on a diff note ...been reading/posting on the boat chat forum ....i tell u we have a good thing here with a lot of genuine people willing to help most and so on.... the lot there ..most unwelcoming, egoistic (surprisingly the ones with the smallest boats /d#cks are the ones with the biggest problems)bunch i have come across
my best to all

joe
was great talking to u
am trying to understand what sort of deposit the dealer is looking for
if he gives me an option of finalizing the spec lets say around june /july and holding the dep as fully refundable ..then maybe i would go for it

its not abt having the latest thing on the block ...
my current car sits in a garage for most of the year while i spend most of my time in sunny goa ...and only get to see it let alone drive it a couple of times a year
the thing is when there is a model change the previous model takes the largest hit at that time and then it evens out over time

have been offfered a few cars but hardly any with del miles unless 1500 is considered that

the upgrade is due any mo and will mostly be around the engine and minor visual
any info abt dealers talking deposits for the 430/450 Berlineta?

had a look at the car at rjs
am personally looking for a f1 and the its most like going to be tdf/creme /blue stiching
and the whole pleasure of having the other bits an bob when u order a new car to yr spec
do give us a shout if u happen to come across a tdf

jrs
absolutely
have been out with joe on a drive out and his car is kept to standards unheard of
i mean u could eat of the engine bay
but as i said earlier looking for a f1 most likely in tdf

robin
will discuss with dealer and let u know how it goes
but quite frankly i dont know how the dep is kept

just out of curiousity ...what happens if a dealer goes bust while holding on to yr dep?
the dep level asked for is circa 10 k
have seen posts with dep being 5k and as low as 1k
any info?

best to all as always
