Italian Ferrari dealerships?

[EddyB]

Do any of you know the names of any Italian-based Ferrari dealerships where I can pick up a LHD Ferrari relatively cheaply? Any help would be appreciated.

Correct me if i'm wrong anyone, but are LHD Ferrari's actually cheaper in Germany than Italy?

So does that mean a RHD ferrari would be even cheeper if you bought one from Germany or Italy?

Very unlikely.

The reason LHD ones are cheaper from Germany is that they drive LHD cars... and there are a LOT more LHD cars than RHD in circulation.

If you can import it ok, the cheapest place is the US with the cheap $/£ situation.

Which one are you after? There's loads of LHD's in the UK already & prices are pretty close to german ones, if not cheaper!

Here's a link to a German site. Mostly dealers on here. Prices start at around 80k Euro ~= 57k GBP.

If you take the time to check the private market I'm guessing you could do better.

If you want to import new the cheapest places are usually Holland and Belgium. High Taxes (50% in Holland) mean manufacturers have to lower prices.

i think lhd's are probably cheaper over here at the moment too. Euro being around 70p makes a big difference. You will of course have a better choice abroad. I looked at some 328's in Germany some years back and found all info from the ads in Auto Motor und Sport magazine. Probably easier online now! Bear in mind that the Germans drive their cars harder in terms of speed than anywhere else - whether thats a bad thing or not I dont know. I remember there was a garage called Tamsen which was/is a main dealer for ferrari and all sorts of exotics
