If you can get me a brand new F430 Spider for 170K, get me 100 of them. I'll take them all day.

I'll take all of them at that price!

Come to my dealer and get one

. Ferraris are only impossible to get in the US, luckily for European enthusiasts.

First, there is no reason for a high performance sport car to be driven to work.

This statement is clearly incorrect Everything depends on where you work

I use the Ferrari for driving to work because I prefer it to any of my other cars - whats the point of owning a 430 and driving to work in some boring Merc/BMW etc?

Ferrari must be paying back their US dealer network for sticking with them by setting up a system where they can sell the same car over and over again for over MSRP... but not with my money... wait... I can't afford one...

At least it's 163k Euro - not USD

It's an unfair world - P-cars are so much cheaper in the US (compared to most other countries) whereas F-cars seem to be crazy prized. But I guess it's OK like it is - I have the impression that nberry actually would be whining if the "average Joe" could buy the F @ MRSP

Re: Ferrarichat.com

Anybody import an F430 to the US from Europe? Is it a big deal?

I know when I see used F430's on the dealer sites, some of them are called Europa. Is this what is meant? Bought in Europe and imported to the US?

Probably gray imports. Could pose a problem regarding warranty, but you should check that with Ferrari themselves.

" people who can afford a 911 Turbo can easily afford a ferrari as well.....it's other reasons that make one opt for one marque rather than the other... "

Not in the US. A Ferrari is usually 30 to 50% more costly than the base 997TT.

Who cares about the price, what matters is 1/2/3 years depreciation.

So ANY new Porsche owner could buy a new Ferrari at MSRP considering the zero depreciation of Fs...

Read my post carefully. I was quoting intouch1 about 997tt owners being able to affrord Ferrari's. I disagreed.

Regarding Ferrari plans and its intent to be lighter and more green, it is very old news. We discussed this sometime ago.
