Yes, I’m sure I will appreciate the added lightness laugh


Looking forward to delivery Tuesday.
Well respect to you for going for the carbon wheels. My blood pressure couldn’t take the stress of parallel parking… enjoy your car, I’m hoping for mine in August.

This car was originally destined to be a demo so was specced by the dealer. Funnily enough I enquired about forged wheels but in the end I decided I would keep the spec original. In 6 years with a Speciale without parking aids I managed to keep the car free from scuffs so fingers crossed. I have a back up plan though and can buy gen forged wheels later if necessary for about 6k. Look forward to seeing yours when she lands, will look awesome.

Does £10k sound about right ?

I’ve ordered mine with standard wheels because there were new accessory wheels announced for the 488 which are not (yet) available for the F8 and in any case not as a new build. So it didn’t make sense to order the forged wheels but, like you, I can order them as an upgrade if the accessory wheels never materialise.

That’s a nice wheel, Pista wheels are also a direct fit and look cool. Mine should be here this afternoon.

I didn’t like the F8 range of wheels so went Pista; bought them as accessories through Ferrari dealer

The dealership didn't "BOTHER" coming back to me banghead

running out of dealerships that are willing to give a damn

Spending £250k doesn't get the attention it once use too ...

I'm not surprised when you brag about putting in offers £70k under the asking price.
I guess you have lost any credibility as a serious buyer so why are they going to waste time with you.
You will be classified as just another tyre kicker.
TBH I've lost count of how many white cars you are going to buy ?
Are u in the market or just going to stick with the transit van scratchchin

the dealer chose not to reply, but I'm not surprised really by anything dealerships are doing at the moment !
