This process requires a few things:
- means to pay for the first car (and any price increase in subsequent models)
- desire to flip F cars every 2-3 years
- and most important, a great relationship with a F dealer where you are actually on the list of preferred customers who get the new cars at MSRP
This is all pretty cheap for the F buyers on the preferred lists. And they get to spec each car (as long as it's a spec the dealer thinks will sell to the second owner -- which is where the dealer makes the big $$$).
Check the price of low mile F cars at dealers to see the markup for "used" cars vs MSRP prices. Ferrari has created this market in the USA by limiting supply while demand is still (relatively) sky high. Not sure how much longer this situation will exist but for now it's good for those on the preferred list at USA F dealers.
