    Appreciate the info. I've seen similar from people in San Francisco and Silicon Valley, I'm guessing you are in Seattle. Must be local to each dealer.

    Thanks again,

    Rob

    No better way of dreaming that your F8 will come that quickly...

    This is not Maranello and it may be a "scare" tactic from an individual or certain group of dealerships. I gave 10k and no other deposit was requested of me. I voluntarily gave an additional 10k later but it was out of my own volition.

    10k is all they ask for.

    I don’t really care much about the way they do the deposits. The $10k refundable to get on the list is easy and straight forward. I don’t mind the extra $15k to lock it in as people who aren’t serious right now may back out. And for a dealer with more clients than allocations that can be a benefit to the actual serious clients. Plus $25k deposit on a spec that is estimated to be $375k is no big deal

    ordered mine in shenzhen, china(I am a Chinese) at the beginning of sep,2021 for F8 coupe. In China the deposit for F8 is little bit over 70k us dollar and it is the same across the country in every dealer. And it is an instant lock in. Downloaded myferrari app, and the status is waiting list with all the options I choose. Dealer said the delivery date will be around july,2022.

    I spoke to the Seattle dealer at one point prior to getting my F8, and if I recall correctly, they also wouldn't accept a CC for the deposit. Is that correct? So not only do they want $25k total for the deposit, they also won't allow you to use a CC (I use mine for everything for the cash back benefits). Whereas other dealers are fine with a maximum $10K deposit using a CC.

    I don't know if that's true or not, but I do know in the past people have purchased cars from them with their AMEX cards. I paid for mine via check and wire transfer

    The dealer that I used required a 10K upfront deposit to be put on the waiting list. The required a second deposit covering all of the options. No it is not an odd or ugly build. Pretty common with the exception of the TLP and painted rims. The interior is black with just a splash of red. I just pasted the 1 year mark and still at the “waiting list” phase but I did get a VIN in the app 2 weeks ago. I just hope the car comes this year or we are looking at a 18+ month wait, which is a bit long in my opinion for this model.

    I met with my dealer earlier this week. I paid an additional deposit not because they asked me or because it was necessary but because I wanted to spread out my down payment. I'm doing 'Blu Eletricco' and my sales rep. advised me that it's possible my car could be delayed 1-2 months because of paint. I'm likely looking at a January (best case) or March - early April delivery (worst case). I put my order in late August of 2020. It's mind boggling how long it's taking. I'm assigned an allocation but waiting on 10R status. I'll follow-up with my sales rep in a few weeks to see if it's finally flipped to 10R.

    First deposit can be with CC. Anything voluntary after that has to be check

    That is BS and likely individual dealership policy. I went well over 100k in options, including TLP and was not asked anything more.

    That was my original thinking. That is why I gave a second deposit, to give a larger down payment in installments. I was thinking about giving 50 down but I figured I could use the money elsewhere instead of losing it in the down payment. Particularly with such a low interest rate.

    My deposit was made on AMEX for 10k . When I picked up my car I was allowed to use my AMEX for an additional 10k.

    I put 10 on my Amex as well with FOCF. I can ask for another 10 at delivery I suppose. (I already got a hat, ).

    FOCF and FOT are owned by the same family. The new FOCF facility is a show palace.

    GT2, you are well overdue to show us pics and videos of your beautiful F8. We were with you for the journey but you’ve left us high and dry. ;)

    You have been waiting for Top Gun 2 a lot longer than what you will wait to see my car. Coming soon to a theater near you. Good things come to those who wait. I have been telling myself that every day. One day, hopefully soon... Before Top Gun 2 release date, that is for sure..... I hope

    Yeah, my deposits for the three cars I’ve ordered with Ferrari have all been on my CC. It was only the Seattle dealer who told me over the phone they wouldn’t allow me to use a credit card for any part of the deposit. I never called them back.

    Sadly, no. It may be a coincidence.
