How to get on a ferrari waitlist for the new F149
I must admit I first asked if a Scuderia was available ( knowing full well that I would not be offered one) to
understand the process. The salesman was straightforward and honest.
He first asked why I would choose the scuderia as my first ferrari ( I guess implying that you have to graduate within the ranks of ferrari to obtain such a car.) I simply thought this car was a better deal than the regular F430, and whats an extra 30k when you are potentially spending 200K.
Concerning the base F430 he stated that it would be out of production before he could get one due to the wait list and and that there is no process to for people like me to get on a wait list for the F430's replacement or the F149.
Instead he suggested I start out by purchasing a used ferrari 360 and joining their online forum. The only good news is that he stated since " you live in the dealers region it makes possible to purchase a car from them." ( at some point in the future at a dealer who does not have a wait list, ordering process or is taking deposits ) Then he went on to say how alot of customers had purchased a house in NC just to purchase a vehicle.
Bottom line there are apparently hundreds of people ahead of me to purchase this car and the F430's replacement but no waiting list and a process I don't understand. ( do you have to show income, how many houses or must you be invited or referred from an existing member? I know this subject has probably been beaten to death, however any insight would be appreciated. ( I even considered writing to their HQ just to see if they would respond, then I wondered if they blacklisted people. ) If this type of elitism is standard across ferrari then I probably will not be a future customer.
