Definately wait...Without knowing it the enjoyment comes from the wait, the aching dreaming anticipation of actually getting it home in the garage..Once it's with you of course you will wonder what the hell was I SO excited about. Then you sell it and a new sensation arrives,maybe months later, why on earth did I let that one go, God I loved that car - but did not realise it...

Car ownership offers parallels to so many things in life..

A bit like my relationship with my family.. God knows I love my dear Wife and children like no other man loves his family, but somehow less when I am home with them!!

If it was this sort of dilema in mid summer I think you'd be getting a totally different answer but this close to Christmas it's very slippy out, it's the get pissed and merry season I'd wait and treat it as a new year pressie to yourself.
Lucky bogger BTW - enjoy!!!

Would the dealer deliver to your house unregistered so you can have it in your garage for Christmas? They could register it in the new year? You could beep the horn and everything biggrin

Or maybe that's not allowed

Go pick it up and enjoy it fulky over the holidays- no snow forecast for the next 10days, actually getting warmer.

Who cares if it is 2011, when you sell it, just put it's birthday as Dec11 that way people will know how old it is exactly, and wont top up with the extra year.

Agree with the other posters who suggest a 2012 registered car.
Dealer should be able to deliver before however and they normally only want to register before if they are on any year bonus, but that should not be the case with Ferrari.

I'd go for the 2012 plate... do not intend to be in any fit state to drive over the next week or two, let alone a supercar.
