Shortest Waiting List for F430

[gammaman]

Does anyone know who has the shortest waiting list for a F430? I visited a dealer recently who gave me a range of between more than 1 year and less than 3 years (!!).

i wouldn't bother with a dealer waiting list personally, i think i would be happier buying a nearly new 430 from a specialist like Tom Hartley or Saffron cars. at least then i wouldn't have to wait for long to get in the drivers seat and the car would be run in properly!
but then again, i guess it could come down to whether you wanted a certain colour or spec.
then i guess it would be worth holding on for a little while for the right car.

I know it sounds irrational, but part of the whole experience for me is speccing the car and being the first on the log book and having the car built to my order. Also, just as a point of principle I don't like the idea of paying away premium right in the middle of Ferrari's V8 production cycle, so to be honest I don't mind waiting but for as little time as possible.

Summer is not the time to go to speculators, if you want to buy of a speculator go in winter they are much more likely to just take a nominal premium or list. There are places to find these guys you know!
