Now I'm not in the business of coming into a car specific threat, and ripping the car apart, but I was so discusted with what I saw on a brand new, unregistared 575 M a couple of weeks ago, that it needs to be said.
I sell top end cars. Not brand specific, I buy what my customers want, and a little extra stock to entice them into the showroom. But we took delivery of a 575 for a loyal customer of many years, and in typical Ferrari style, they made out that we needed to lay a red carpet down to welcom the thing into the showroom! Not like I had over £1.25 million worth of cars in stock already!
But when we looked around the car, we were absolutly gob smacked to see that the passanger door was rubbung on the sill as you closed it and removing the paint, the rubber seal was falling off, and one of the panel gaps at the front of the car measured over 1/2 and inch! They had also "forgotten" about the radio!
Now I'm sorry, but that is poor on a car that cost £30'000, nevermind a £160'845 super car from what is supposed to be one of the "best" sports car manufacturers in the world! Its a discrace. I have since sent the car back and ended my contract with Ferrari entirly! My customer, who was equally outraged, has since ordered an Aston Vanquish. I have sold 11 of them so far, and have no doubt that this Aston will be as astonishingly brilliant as the other 11.

This is the 7th, and by far the worst problem that I have had with Ferrari in as many months! They have totaly lost it!

Italy's finest... Yeah, whatever!
