Ferrari Falls Off Truck At Dealership!

spearfish25 · 01-31-2010, 10:32 AM

I feel for the customer who ordered it. Apparently Ferrari has a few years wait on new orders. If you order a 458 Italia now, there will be a new model by the time you get it!

Interesting article, albeit from 2007: http://www.leftlanenews.com/ferrari-...36-months.html

That's funny, that dealership is just down the road from me. I test drove a C6 vette from them, and they tried to sell me on a Ferrari, saying many can afford it with a 30 year loan

They also said that they are #1 or #2 in Ferrari sales in the US (very big dealership). Too bad for the person purchasing that one.

At least the hatch isn't stuck

u cant possibly be serious???????????????????? they tried to sell you a 3 decade car loan?????????????? by the time you finish paying that off, the car would be collecting rust in the junkyard! not to mention the interest you pay would probably buy you 2 or 3 more cars!

Yeah, they said it was very common for people who buy ferraris from them to do it through a 30 year loan. I agree crazy. It was an entertaining test drive, when he told me that, I about laughed my *** off and wrecked.

wow, unbelievable! so it's "pretty common" for ppl to finance ferraris for 30 yrs, huh? who knew ferraris were cars for the masses

maybe those ppl should buy something more within their price range, like a civic or versa! i never even knew u can finance ferraris. i thought they only take cash, check, or credit card. their website doesn't even list prices for their cars.

so what car did u test drive? i'm pretty surprised they let ppl test drive ferraris. and to think the subaru dealer didnt want me to test drive the sti.

Interesting article, albeit from 2007: Ferrari waiting list now 24 to 36 months

wow, unreal! simply unreal! 2-3 years wait time! unbelievable! so u go in, put a deposit and then have to wait 2-3 yrs to receive your car. by the time that happens it will be old and outdated, and a new model would be introduced. not only that, but you also have to pay ABOVE msrp for that 2-3 yr old car.

thanks, but no thanks ferrari. i hear nissan has excellent deals on the gtr, and wait times are in minutes as opposed to years
