Ouch. They're probably working down the list to see who bites. Market seems to be 50-75k over.

Profit over all else homie.

The old days of building longterm relationships with the community, dealership, and sales people are long gone.

Porsche is going the way of Ferrari.

Many of us are right there with you.

I actually think Ferrari does a way better job of managing their customers and the community than Porsche.

Ferrari dealers don't mark up new car purchases and from my experience are honest if you can or can't get a car up front.

Brutal. I'd be cancelling the GTS order, see if that gets their attention.

Get rid of the dash wart, get the race-tex sun visors to match the rest of the interior, get black door pulls (the silver ones will get dirty), get rid of the Bose speakers as the car is makes too much noise, and MOST IMPORTANT get rid of the SiriusXM antenna.

That blows man, your dealer should be taking care of a good customer like you.

Ferrari has a point system based on the actual Ferrari's you have in your garage at the current time. So it's actually worse with limited edition cars. You don't even get the chance to buy one at $100k over.

So they care how many Ferrari's you have in your garage versus how many you've purchased over the years?

Yes, new Ferrari system doesn't care about how many you've purchased if you keep selling/flipping them. They want you to still own them/have a collection to be a big VIP. I know a 918 owner who used to race Ferrari cup and he requested a SP2 from them, they basically told him to F off in a nice way because he doesn't have the 5+ Ferrari's in his garage required for an SP2 allocation.

Wow and that is brutal, guess any cool Ferrari that I buy will be second hand.

To be fair a limited edition Ferrari would be like a regular Porsche customer trying to buy a ST.

I would probably equate trying to buy a car like a Pista for MSRP from Ferrari like getting a GT3RS for MSRP.
