How many UK deliveries do we think there has been already vs How many Emira's anticipated to go for sale?

Last update I saw was 25 delivered and there is now 3 on sale so that’s over 10%.
Depending on how the next hour goes, there could be a lot of summer 23 delivery people getting calls tomorrow with the offer of earlier delivery.

I’d say it’s around 10% being sold

There’s 3 to perhaps 5 for sale / sold, and I assume we’re now at 40 plus delivered cars, as it was 25 a couple of weeks ago

This I think is a safe bet.... and yes, I am on the 15-20% train. 10% is what I originally thought, but the UK has been allocated more than I originally thought they would.

I’ll be cancelling if this flops… didn’t like the test drive but thought I’d take delivery and see if it grew on me… not prepared to risk cash on that outcome though!

If it does cost £1k a month in depreciation I’m keeping the Alpine

really, is it normal for manufacturers to get involved to keep prices high? curious

 

[Mctaff]

Heating up a bit!

normal....no. Would they have a strong vested interest in this selling for a high price.... Yes, very very much so.

Ferrari would certainly be bidding up it's cars lol.

Good? Bad? Fair?

Only 2.500 pounds profit, not good

I'd say about average, 10K markup to get yours earlier than everyone. That's what they're going to get marked up for in the USA as well at many dealers.

well in all fairness, after the commission the buyer pays, total cost of this Emira is actually 88,725. So still over 85 haha!

This is the profit for the buyer? That's kind of mediocre.
