    How many miles did you guys have on your new F8 when you picked it up? Mine had 52 miles on it which I thought was a bit high.

    Are you not aware??? All Ferrari's drop significantly with anything over 25 miles on them - You are hemorrhaging money as we speak with this boat anchor depreciating and boring asset - I think the only thing you can do since it is essentially worn out is to dump it quickly and take the loss as a lesson learned!

    Please PM me - I am willing to scrape up a couple hundred K or so to help you get out of this situation.

    ;);):rolleyes::p Thanks for the offer but I think I will hold on to it a bit longer. In fact even if I wanted to, I can’t sell it for the first 6 months. So sorry :cool:

    I had a TM 812 delivered with about 112 miles on it! I queried that but the dealer (who is excellent) pointed me to the letter from the factory that says to expect this. I wondered what could have been so bad about the car that it needed 112 miles but it has been perfectly reliable in the two years since.

    These cars are delivered "ASLEEP" they will not go over 20mph. The dealer has to "AWAKEN" the car. Takes about 5hrs. Dealer has to flash computers and make sure all sensors are working. Then there is a series of road tests that have to take place as part of the Awakening Process. So these miles are normal depending on the Technician. The car is "ASLEEP" so no wise-ass can drive it upon delivery at the port. All Good Guys!

    30-60 miles seems pretty normal average for all my cars. 185 miles has to mean there were issues after the car came off the line they need to fix/test before shipping. Granted that’s only one day of driving so as long as the car was in perfect condition it should not make much difference.

    Agree. It was a special Tailor Made paint and the car did take extra long - but paint was typical for Ferrari.
    Can dealer still do a rest under 200 miles?
    Who know what happened but it arrived very dirty off of the truck.
