I slipped the guy at the front desk a $20 and got my Ferrari in nine months.

I wonder what the Corvette lovers will think about this.

Here you get end of the model year clearance prices followed by “faster than a falling rock” depreciation.

I guess they can tool around in a Roller while they wait.

Pfft….and all of that for an overpriced import garbage? Ahaha! I’ll take the new supercharged ZR-1, thanks.

“Ferrari has been considered one of the premier automakers on planet Earth for some time now…” LLN

Thanks LLN, but considering the fact that Manufactures such as Ferrari aren’t currently shipping any cars outside our planet or solar system, I think we can leave the “planet earth” part out of the first sentence. Yeah, we know which one. Thanks.

i dont wait for ho’s im sure as hell not waiting for a car, fuuuuuuck that

Self gratifications comes in many ways: for some it is brand new Ferrari for some their own flesh (as stated on this forum ).
On the same topic how many born in UK Brits are buying Ferrari in London? London is a Mecca for wealthy individuals due to unique tax structure. A lot of oil princes from all over the globe live in London (international gun traders, drug brokers and other ‘cream’ of society)

autonut: That’s a good point. Outside the US, expensive car buyers are mostly corruptors and people who deal in shady businesses. Which is why I tend to shun the brand.

Geeley needs to knock those cars off and sell them for 20 grand.

HA HA HA HO HO HO!!! A ZR1 over a Ferrari. That was funny.

Exactly. Your precious Ferrari ain’t all that, ya know?!

The British don’t deserve this car. It got too much style and class for them.

Murderout only things that because all he’s ever gotten is a handjob.

Veda, I agree with you on quality produced by robots. As a matter of fact Civic quality will always be better then RL quality, because robots programmed for Civic development will be tested and retested: the cost of screw-up measured in billions of dollars. For low volume RL (Lexus, Infinity) personal service and 10K premium over the cost of the vehicle will cure most of ills. Ferrari is a different animal of all named above: they are automotive work of art and therefore command higher price. Once in a while you a get a “run” on older Ferraris and the price skyrockets (I think it was in early ’90s). As work of art those cars are not driven to office Monday morning.
Also, not all Europeans who buy Ferrari’s are involved in morally indignant activities: a lot of them were born into wealth (like Hilton for our comprehension). London has tax code which attracts shabby and legit businesspeople from around the world. My point was that luxury items bought in London are not purchased by drunken limies.

And Deanster is the only one who make rape jokes funny assmunch.

GM does have the guts for the Corvette, but it is a committe designed car and a slave to the wind tunnel with the rear end of a 400 pound woman.

^^^^Hence the horrible resale value, no passion to infect the next owner.

Absolutely HILARIOUS that some of you find it in your hearts to somehow, someway try and compare this Ferrari news to that of a Corvette. Let’s see; both are sports cars, so they have to be similar right?

No one freakin’ buys a Ferrari for it’s hp per $ ratio. That’s fantastic that a Z06 can keep up with an F430, let’s see how many owners cross-shop the two. What’s even more funny is how the ZR-1 is being compared to it, when a ZR-1 hasn’t even been given a formal numbers test yet. I’m sure the numbers will be staggering, and even at close to 6 figures it’s STILL a good value… but you won’t find one lone person on a two year waiting list for a Corvette. If you do find that person, give me his e-mail address so I can send him pictures of myself pointing and laughing at his expense.

Damn, that probably makes me sound like a Vette-hater when that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Work of art? My ass is more of a work of art than any current/upcoming ferrari. Modern ferraris are pretty ugly, but then again so are the vettes. The only really good-looking modern sportscar is/will be the Alfa 8C Competizione. Aston’s are okay looking, though.

699 Ferraris sold? … Something’s not adding up …

Assuming the average revenue per car is $500,000, that would add up to $350 million. Now I’m sure they have other sources of income, but those probably don’t even cover the costs of their operation. (and taxes, for that matter)

But for the moment let’s assume they have a net operating income of $350 million, which is very likely an overestimation. That would barely cover the cost of their F1 program, which I’ve heard and read has run them $250-300 million a season. (might have dropped in the past season or two b/c of the new “cost-saving” regulations, but still…)

How the hell can they run their business this way? …

Can people stop acting like a bunch of xenophobic, ignorant, completely biased group of 8-year olds on here? 8-year olds for all the ridiculous insults that are ridiculous.

LLN’s boards used to be a place where I could get interesting opinions and info I had not yet seen from car enthusiasts. Now it’s become some kind of crockpot of crap.

^^^Did you follow the fat virgin thread ???

It was funny.

G must be Ned Flanders

2 year waiting list?? Sucks for the buyers, but not a bad position for the business to be in. Lets you know your cars are highly sought after. Wish I would’ve come up with Ferrari.

damn that means if i were to get an f430 now i would get it by the time its replacement came out.

G, Ferrari make their coins not only selling cars, but also advertising space on their F1 program. They also do consulting and design work. Their engines power Maserati and Alfa C8 and those are not charitable contributions. Even hats and jackets with Ferrari logo worn by schmacks who cant afford wheels of their cars are source of profit. Ferrari is not Ferrari because of their cars only, they are marketing machine as well.

It’sworth the wait
