>>15049966
I think it's a great policy that only butthurt normies would get mad about.

But, they don't even stick to it. Ferrari is second only to lamborghini as the go-to brand for plebs.

I've never heard of them actually turning anyone down.

>>15049966
>certain car companies actually RESTRICT people from buying there cars if they deem them not worthy enough
May be true, but Ferrari doesn't

>>15049966
>buying a brand new ferrari

no. if money isn't a barrier, you can easily get one from someone who probably didnt even put more than 5k miles on it, willing to sell it.

Italians are stuck up back stabbers. They like their miafias, mobs, or clubs with little special rules for you to get in. And no they don't want "new money" buying a Ferrari

So what? There's nothing wrong with it.

You can't buy one directly from Ferrari, you'd have to go through a dealer with connections. You could be driving a 1990 civic and still get a LaFerrari if you know the right people and have the sufficient funds.

That would be pretty tough since they made more LaFerraris than Enzos so far. Why do people like to make up random shit about cars like this pulled from nowhere?

>>15050246
Sure, the requirement being willing to exchange money for a car. Ferrari isn't like Honda, there aren't very many dealer allocated cars, most people who buy them order the cars. Dealerships will often "suggest" you buy one of those allocated cars to move you up a wait list for a certain car or "allow" you to buy a limited run car. Neither Ferrari or any dealership gives a single fuck if you own or used to own a car they made or sold 20 years ago, they care if they move that fully optioned 456/612/FF that Ferrari pushed on the dealer so they can check it off as a sale. Many people bought those cars then immediately sold them back to the dealership so the dealership could sell them as used cars at lower prices.

Ferrari won't stop anyone from buying a 488 or F12. Only offering the extreme, low-production hypercars to established customers is good business. It maintains brand loyalty and offers incentive to buy the "regular" Ferraris, as it's the gateway to hypercar ownership.

For example, Porsche gave first dibs on the 918 to established customers. Great way to reward brand loyalty. THEN when they came out with the Cayman GT4, they gave first dibs on it to people who had ordered a 918 even though the price wasn't exactly stratospheric.

It's a marketing approach that has nothing to do with social exclusivity.

>>15049966

>there

Stopped reading.

>>15051920
I'd add that this is what makes the hypercars and limited editions proper status symbols. Lots of jerkoffs save up their shekels to own fancy cars that they can't really afford to keep, and this has made driving something like a California or a Continental GT, never mind pretty much any BMW or Mercedes, a questionable call as far as status signalling. Way too many people are fronting that way.

The guy who's got an Enzo or Aventador SV, or even a lowly 5-figure GT4, however, is the guy with the juice to own and enjoy lots of rad cars and everyone in the know knows it.

Ferrari ain't shit compared to Bristol

Their former boss,Tony Crook would close the showroom when actors or other popular people he didn't like looked inside,they've denied May from buying a Bristol because Clarkson dissed on Bristols,don't really think there's a nigger owning a Bristol

The wikipedia article, the only "source" in the thread, didn't even say only people who bought F40s and F50s were allowed to buy an Enzo, they said they sent invitations to those people, probably because they realize that people who buy one million dollar Ferrari will likely by another. They are doing the same thing right now with the LaFerrari spider. If someone is willing to pay, they can get the car. They made 70 extra Enzos, this is confirmed in registries through the serials. They said they are only making 80 599 Apertas, they say 1/80 on a number plate on the dash, yet there are over 120 confirmed by serial number registry. If someone will pay, they will make it and sell it to them, period. If you say you want an F12 with two different colored seats and the roof chopped off they will do it, they will NEVER turn down someone offering a bunch of money. The having to own past supercars to buy the current supercar is internet folklore spread in youtube comments and jalopnik articles by people who have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

Tried google, all that came up is "some say," and "rumor has it," from people who know nothing and have 0 connection to anyone buying one of the cars, kind of like this thread. Those are the only "sources" you would even be able to come up with (of course you only vaguely alluded to them after trying to find something and coming up with nothing rather than posting a link), because, as I said, there are no magic special requirements. Will Ferrari "suggest" you buy an FF, someone else's cancelled order with lime green contrast stitching on a blue interior, or other hard to turn new car to move you up a wait list on a hot commodity car? Yes, happens all the time. Do they give a single fuck if some guy buys an F40 and an Enzo used, giving 0 dollars to Ferrari, then give him some special privilege that an actual regular customer wouldn't have? Of course not, it makes no sense for them to do that. To actually think that Ferrari cares about something other than making money aside from their race program is so far off the mark that it's comical. There's nobody sitting at a desk thinking "man, we really have to make sure only the right person buys this car," rather than that guy they have a 20 man department coming up with stories and advertising angles that bilk rich people out of money and make 20 year olds want to buy Puma shoes, such as "only the most exclusive customers are allowed the special privilege of buying this car"

Restricting sales helps Ferrari sell and service MORE cars... Ferrari owners buy lessor models, service them at Ferrari dealers, and trade-in at Ferrari dealers for thousands under private sale prices, all to earn brownie-points towards buying their next car.
