@Kingdom08 did you get the luggage yet?

It looks like it is the new Pursuit Collection that is included.

Almost $2k worth...

Interesting .... my brother-in-law has a black on black Ferrari California T. The dealers up here told him that he had to buy a used Ferrari since it was his first. So he flew to Miami, purchased a new one and shipped back to MD. CRAZY!

Correct. You cannot walk into a Ferrari dealer and just buy any new Ferrari. They don't care if you have a blank check in hand. They only give their new allotment to established clients.

They will make you buy a used one to establish the relationship....and then you have to usually sell it back to them at wholesale (more profit right there). It's a highly unique system and almost inexplicable to anyone who hasn't owned one.

Fixed that.

I also know people who have ferraris who didn't have to do that.

they do this because they can. Folks love their cars and will do stupid things to get them. A Classic case of build what people are willing to buy at any cost. Not many companies on planet earth have been able to accomplish this. Not a fan of the cars or the practice but an admirer of what Ferrari has been able to accomplish

mixed in the middle of all this is the European business mentality which is not the North American way. The differences are immense and too vast to discuss here.

Anyone can buy a used Ferrari; I was referring to ordering a new one.

I owned one many years ago.

haha.....like explaining to a newbie that the entire Ferrari production line closes for the entire month of August so everyone can go on holiday....

No sir.....your new $800,000 vehicle will NOT be delivered this month because the factory is shut down for August.

@Kingdom08 did you buy the LC 500 Coupe floormats in blue? What color did the car come with? I was hoping to do blue floormats from the coupe if they fit!
