You should have no probs selling the TT in Houston. All of the allocations are spoken for and Momentum has a 2 yr waiting list. They bought 3 cars out of market and are selling them for $5-10k over sticker. If you want a sweet ticket to a 430, at FOH my friend's 04 360 6spd is on sale. Red/tan with about 5k miles. No car was ever better cared for than this one. My friend consigned it thru FOH to get a spot for a new 430 slot 6 months down the road. My other friend in Austin bought that car from FOH, drove it for 2-3 months and now again is consigning it thru FOH to get another 430 spot. Mind you, they are not getting their builds at sticker but at less than $10k over sticker.

I have seen the 3 at momentum - they say they have a 2-3 year list. I think they are full of it - WHY would 3 cars just sit on the lot? I stopped by FOH saw the grey car on the floor - I would take it if it was 6 speed. I really want grey or a blue color. $10,000 over sticker would be ok. I just do not want to pay $20-$50 like many of the cars are going for. My real goal is to become a long term buyer and get in and out of Ferrari - they seem to hold the values.

Yea, good luck with getting anything at list at FOH. Even good customers don't get that. The 2 year wait at Momentum isn't true either, I think people are jumping off the list all the time. Keep us updated.

vramani, golfguy, allegretto:

have you guys considered/driven the murci LP640? had the opportunity to test drive one, power is pretty impressive. if you like the Lambo styling, it's worth a look.

vramani

Just my view - I think they look like a cockroach - sorry

allegretto

Why do I see Tony Montana when you say that?

They are building a Lambo dealer near my office and the owner called me and told me he had a blue Murcie Spyder that I should look at. I know some of you will think me hypocritical since a ride around in a red 430, but the Lambo was far too...LOUD (visually) for me. Plus, I wasn't sure what the heck the designer was trying to portray except for manifest Rubenesque sexuality. Not my cup, as they say.

YMMV

V-man, I admire your attitude! Hope business continues to pay off with shiny european rockets...

from what I've dealt with (as a future ferrari owner, from current ferrari owners) is that the dealers 'asking' price is usually not what they get- I'd say even in newport beach you can make deals- and they're asking around 260k for a coupe, but they probably don't sell for that- the same ones are still sitting there from august. I'm sure being a local customer at the local dealership would be great but there has to be a 430 manual out there with your name on it somewhere else if it isn't in houston.

personally I am going to go for the 'briefcase full of cash' approach when the time is right, probably on a 430 challenge stradale in 2008.

one of those garages decorated with some of the posters and the print would be pretty slick!
sounds like you need to take a vacation or hire a good no.2 guy!

"a 430 challenge stradale in 2008"

If they build it, it will be very much in demand - you're wise to position yourself now. All of the pics in the link appear to be of the challenge car, not the stradale.

Will post pictures SOON
