    I was back in the Scotland last month. There, the wait list has gone from a year to more like 3-4 months. There's a lot of new stock for sale with dealers cos people order them to get their Pista or whatever.

    Thanks for that. Sounds a lot more promising than some of the earlier threads. Pista looks fantastic but not sure re every day drive. Hope your trip to Scotland was for fun not work.

    these waiting lists amuse me, they are "manufactured exclusivity", it's all BS. 3-4 months is the reality (plus 6 weeks for shipping) which is how long you'll wait for 99% of new cars if you want a slightly different colour/trim combination.

    In Artarmon, Sydney there is an exotic car dealership that appears to be a clearing house for unsold dealer floorstock or finance company repos. Right now they have a black 488 spider with tiny mileage that you can drive away. Not to mention a slew of almost-new Lambos, Bentleys and Astons.

    Of course if you want a red/crema car with red carpet and shields the wait time is about 3-4 years due to popular demand.

    Family visit but after a months worth of rain in a day, didn't hang around. I did stop by the dealer there, and there was no shortage of next to no miles 488s there. I reckon the spiders have a longer wait.
