At The Collection in Coral Gables, FL.

Brother-in-law saw 2 of them driving on the streets of Coral Gables last week.

I did not inquire (it was about 11pm when I drove by and saw it and stopped to take a picture), but it would surprise me if it is truly for sale, and not pre-sold.

Saw the car at the Ferrari Cavallino in Palm Beach, pictures don't do it justice. There is a 2 year+/- waiting list for the car and prices for resale are $50k+ over sticker.

That would look good in my garage (less the roof)

The wait to get a new Ferrari at MSRP is the killer. When I was talking to the GM at my local dealership, he informed that since the wait is 2-3 years that you may actually be the first one for the next generation model.

I hate to bring this up…but…

Anyone think the F430 will be the next Gallardo?
50-20k over MSRP for about 4 months, then MSRP for a few months, then a few grand under MSRP shortly after?

However it does seem as though the F430 already has a stronger following than the Gallardo ever did have.

definately not. The 360's are still going for well over sticker, especially the CS and spyder.

I was by the Collection a couple of weeks ago to inquire about the waiting list and there is none. They are going simply by how good of a customer you are.

I was going to get one but backed out.. I decided to get a 94 512TR instead. Will wait a couple of years until they drop in price a bit and then pick one up.

They are beautiful cars though. I haven't driven one yet myself so I can't say how it compares to the F360, but based on what people have been telling me there are many improvements and that it is well worth the additional $$$.
