    Question for everyone... first time buyer here, so be kind... :)

    About how long should I expect to wait from deposit to order lock-in? I put my deposit down in July for an F8 Coupe and have been told “about 30 days” a few times now. I completely understand these are unusual times given Covid and all, and I’m not upset or anything of the sort. Just trying to temper my own expectations!

    Side note.. my email address is still not found when I try to register for the MyFerrari app.

    Thanks all,
    Rick

    Rick- if you put a deposit in July- expect to see your car next July.

    Unfortunately too many variables to get a solid answer, things won’t really move until you are status 10R. You can sit at 10G indefinitely...

    You will eventually get an email invitation from Ferrari to register for the MyFerrari app, until then probably will not be able to register.

    There was a very similar paint spec Pista at Ferrari San Diego...but it had an amazing orange and blue interior to match the blue w/ orange stripes on the exterior. As a Florida Gators fan it’s probably my favorite spec I’ve seen. I’m considering changing my F8 spec to match it!

    Thanks for the replies. I just opened another bottle of a favorite cab to help “digest” this new reality.

    That said, the wait will just make the eventual delivery that much sweeter. How fortunate we all are to have worked hard enough to have such problems.

    Cheers & thank you!

    I put my allocation deposit down early March. COVID hit... My order was approved on August. 9/11 got email with VIN assigned notification (not the actual number), a little less than 2 weeks it was status 40. Estimated date of completion Oct 28. Another month in ship and another month between port and dealership (California everything is slower). This is my timeline. It varies from car to car, depending on options that may add time to the overall build. Generally speaking, once the car build starts, it takes a few weeks. As you get notices, the car is likely further advanced in the process.

    Don't worry about the Ferrari app... It won't give you status updates. You are better off asking your dealership. However, be patient. I am struggling with it as much as everyone else, but it is part of the "Ferrari Experience". Your dealership is as blind as you are. The only exception is that they get the updates and you have to depend on them to get them.

    Overall I'd say, 8-12 months.

    If you are listed at Ferrari of Ft Laud.....you need to be on them constantly for status. They are notorious for moving previous customers ahead of the line. I put a deposit for a F8 April 2019 and requested my deposit back this April (and bought a Pista).

    That sucks. Hard to prove but easy to see, not necessarily understand... Wit that said, your chances could improve if you happen to have a relatively new dealership within your allowed dealerships according to your zip code.

    That seems very off. The dealer should know their allocation and roughly when your build will be submitted to the factory for approval.

    I also put a deposit down in October 2019 and within days appeared on "My Ferrari" as "F8 waitlist" in the Garage section.

    Order calls from the factory are now for Jan/Feb builds, from what I understand, as thats what I'm in.

    That makes no sense I ordered in November and my car is at the dealer now you need to check with your dealer and make sure they actually put an order in.

    I'm going to the dealer today and I'll check on it. I ended up buying a 458 in July because of the delay and I was getting antsy. I'm not in a huge rush since I bought the 458, but at this rate I may just keep the 458 coupe and change the order to the F8 Spider. The coupe will already be long-in-the-tooth by the time I get it at this rate.

    Do this dude, otherwise you just let the dealer get away with taking the mick. I cancelled my spider order as they were going to deliver the coupe within 3 months of delivering the spider even though they initially told me it was 1 year when taking the order

    That can happen in very busy dealerships. Allocations don't go to the factory in the order of placed orders across the board (if that makes sense). Dealerships get a certain number of allocations over a period of time. So when they exceed those allocations, clients go on a waiting list until given more.
    Like I said before in another thread. I went to a internationally very well known dealership and therefore super busy and if I had placed the order there, I would have waited a year just for the allocation to become available. So, the less busy your dealership, the better chances you are to get a car sooner.
