- As one of the most popular sports cars in the world, Ferrari likes to maintain its exclusive brand. In the fine print of their contracts, they have some rules that Ferrari owners must follow when buying a new car from Ferrari. Watch today's #MorningMusing to hear about these rules.

Do you want to own a Ferrari? Hello, this is Reinhard von Hennigs. And if the answer is yes, well maybe you want to drive a Ferrari. You don't want to own one, but if you really want to own a Ferrari read the fine print. And no this is not just the lawyers talk as in reading as a fine print. It is the last talk to read the fine print because what's in, it may surprise you.
The fine print in the Ferrari contract as it's used in the United States, and I've seen this implemented in other parts of the world as well, is that there are multiple rules and restrictions as to what you can do with the car.
I'll highlight two. Number one, you cannot resell the Ferrari the first year after you bought it if you buy a new Ferrari directly from them, why? They want to make sure that you're not flipping the car, that you're not trying to buy a new car at the dealers' price, and then flip it because it's such a rare collection car and you want to make money out of that.
So if you want to flip a car, don't get a brand new Ferrari from Ferrari. And number two, don't cover the logo. Ferrari issued a cease and desist letter to an artist who covered the whole Ferrari logo. And instead of the famous horse, put something different on it.
Ferrari was not amused about the wrapping of the car, but also about the logo is covered. So part of the cease and desist is that the wrapping did a cutout. So where the logo is supposed to be, a logo was not visible, even though the wrapping was rather ugly.
A few more things come to mind what you need to do. And I wonder if you're exporting the car. How does this work? I also wonder if you buy a car in a country where certain rules are different and certain rules are restrictive with regard to general terms and conditions how this would play together. But my takeaway today is if you want to protect a brand, do it on all levels and make sure that your brand is adhered to even in the smallest fine print of your contract.

Remember when Ferrari said that if anyone with a La Ferrari borrows it to Top Gear for just one race, they'd never sell them a limited edition ever again ? Just goes to show what kind of people run the company
Yeah it's just like an Exclusive Club with their own rules. Of course, if you don't like, you don't have to buy. They won't give a fuck. I think that Snobby attitude actually brings up the brand value. Look at the high end night club who literally denies you as a human if you don't look good enough or don't have enough money. Don't you want to go to that club instead of a club open for anyone like older women, fat chicks, guys in dad bods, trashy people?
Why are they still in business? Lol who the hell buys shit from scum?
Ferrari loses money developing flagship cars. By selling them below actual cost at limited production runs. This is why Ferrari would only sell you a flagship car if you are a vetted loyal Ferrari customer. Ferrari only wants their flagship cars to go to its most loyal Ferrari customers. Which means you have to buy a few lower end crappier Ferrari cars before you can get an oppurtunity to buy a La Ferrari. Which you aren’t even allowed to sell for 2 years of ownership. If you don’t happen to like your La Ferrari. If you violate this rule Ferrari will ban you.
Ferrari hates car flippers who makes a quick buck because they don’t earn any income from secondary sale. Ferrari created this snobish exclusive mistique on who is allowed to own their cars. So they can control how their brand image is represented. Violate any of this rule and you’re banned for life.
'lends'.
And nobody did lol so guess they know what they doing 😆😆
Don't forget you also have to let a Mercedes, Mclaren and Red Bull be in front of you at all times.
damnn
They're so full of them selves.
And for added insult a GTR😁
Also try to avoid being a midfielder too.
😂😂😂😂👍
I watched an interview today, with Jay Leno, and he explained it was these rules that prevented him from ever owning a Ferrari. He seemed quite happy to drive his McLaren with no restrictions.
Then part of our al go-rythms are alike.
And Mclaren upgraded the engine for free as well.
I also saw this
Yep I saw that to. Seems like McLaren has excellent customer service and no rules for owning one!
The way it should be if I'm spending a lot of money in the car no dealership is going to tell me what and can I do with it
This is why J Leno doesn't have any.
Jay Leno on Why He Refuses to Buy a Ferrari th-cam.com/video/VUPOvcolNZg/w-d-xo.html
Leno has held this grudge for the last 35yrs lol
Exactly.
Ferrari dont need jay leno
It's no big deal he's not missing anything they good to drive but to go through the process of only one I respect Jay Leno's decision and I never questioned it about Ferraris
Jay Leno was right he said its a beautiful
car but too many rules and restrictions. He enjoys dealers helping him instead of restricting him and he’s right
Are they that beautiful?
I think that Aston Martins look way better.
Funny part is the fanboys always say that you are just mad because you don't have the money..... Pretty sure Jay Leno has more than enough money.
@@bobburgers4302 cuz u got bad taste
@@johndoe-so2ef The fanboys themselves dont have that kind of money. Kinda wasting time defending a brand they couldnt afford lol.
This is why you buy a Ferrari in a private party sale in the U.S. You can tell the goons at the company where they can shove their license agreements, because they have no right to interject themselves into a private transfer of ownership. That's how you can create a Purrari loophole.
But then you get blacklisted, and will never own a new Ferrari.
@@machupikachu1085 the new ones are ugly anyway.
@@machupikachu1085 Why would you ever buy one new anyway? Actually, why would you ever buy a new car? You can find just about anything garage kept with low miles if you look hard enough.
@@piterpraker3399New cars are shit in general.
They'll just randomly engulf in flames out of jo where.
Ferrari Customer: *replaces the carpets with custom made ones*
Ferrari: "STOP THAT"
Lambo Customer: *twin turbocharges an aventador and wraps it in camo and adds an exterior roll cage*
Lamborghini: "lol nice"
Lmao
I once see Lamborghini with rocket bunny body kit its cool AF with good wrapping ah i wish i have one but i kinda a track guy
Just as Ferruccio Lamborghini wanted
@@indonesia_playa wide body kits do allow for bigger tires but if you wanna track day get a Gallardo 580-2 (cheapest light version, rwd, and manual)
@@huyra8019 slap it with GT3 spec regulation and I'm ready to racing
I buy a car for millions and u gone tell me what I can’t do with it priceless
This is because Ferrari has many more millions than you.
That's why Jay Leno didn't buy any😅
No new Ferrari costs millions hand job
They make it seem like they got to honor you to buy their cars this is why I don't want to buy these expensive cars I want to drive them but not buy them I just take a Corvette c8 or Audi R8 you don't get none of those problems with them you buy it the car is yours you do what you want with it
@@muddwhistle7833

$2.59 million dipshit
I'm 73 & have been a car lover all my life. These cars are just one brand among many. I'm not missing anything by not owning one.
Facts
Rules of Ferrari ownership.
1) You must take 2 or more parking spots when parking in public.
2) You must drive at least 15 mph over the speed limit at all times.
3) You must rev your engine excessively at stop lights and stop signs.
4) You must accept your Ferrari is going to break down constantly. This is a design feature, not a defect.
5) You must only service your Ferrari at Ferrari dealerships and happily pay whatever the bill is. Service bills start at $5,000.
6) You must act like a douchebag if someone in a lesser-car wants to talk with you.
7) You must be very vague about how you got your money.
8) You're not allowed to wash your Ferrari at automated/drive through car washes under penalty of having your first born shot.
9) You must mention Michael Schumacher at least once every 45 seconds when talking about your Ferrari.
10) Your first Ferrari must be in Ferrari Red, NO EXCEPTIONS!
You’re wrong on three points...
Lmao 7 is really accurate
😂
😄😄😄
😬
I was pulled over once by the cops when driving a Ferrari. They said I was speeding. I protested and said I was only doing 20 mph. They agreed, but asked me then why I was going so slow. I said that sign over there says only do 20. The cops laughed and said that says A20, it is the road number. I argued with them to leave me alone as I was only doing 20. 'No', they said, 'We starting following you on the A160'.
Well done!
I don't have the cash for a new Ferrari, so it's a moot point for me, but I really hate this company. The arrogance to tell someone what they can or cannot do with their own vehicle once they purchase it is preposterous. I realize it only pertains to those cars bought new, but it is one of the reasons I love seeing people cut them up and modify them.
See thats the diffrence rather than doing this shit Lamborghini creates less cars but if you are a customer you get full freedom and hell if your buying a top line model you get to customize how your lambo looks like
Ferrari sued Deadmau5 for customizing his 458 with a _(beautiful)_ Nyan Cat wrap and calling it a "Purrari" -- _for which he had every right to do!_ Ferrari claimed it was "copyright infringement", which is a bogus accusation. Deadmau5 wasn't claiming his 458 was anything else, nor was he trying to profit from it. Ferrari then tried to evoke the Right of Refusal Agreement, but that's bogus too since he wasn't looking to sell it at that time. Ferrari are just a bunch of snooty, uptight self-appointed elitists of the worst ilk. _They're not about cars, they're about vanity and big egos!_
it was a beauty! :)
I hope he didn't remove that awesome wrap? I like it as well.
That thing was a monstrosity.
Just think of all the people enzo killed in testing. My Harley faster than them
which is part of Enzo’s morals and ego.
I'm gonna buy a Ferrari and replace all the badges with Honda ones just out of spite
hahaa
Give me the money to do it and I will put YUGO badges on it.
Put Fiero and Pontiac badges on it and call it a kit car.
If you do it on some models that aren't important in Ferrari's history, then it shouldn't cause any problems, but do it on an F40 then you're banned for life from ferrari
You better use the Yugo stickers on it
Rule: "You must never name your dog, horse, cat, or any animal Ferrari."
Rule: "If you name any of your children Ferrari, we're entitled to a 25% royalty on any and all of their earnings, for life."
Rule: "If you name your child Ferrari and they get a criminal record, they must legally change their name to Lamborghini, and never wear the color red."
This is why Jay Leno does now own or will ever own a Refari. He owns about 175 cars and feels no need to put up with the Ferrari dealers--he prvers customer service/support. To me, Ferrari resembles Jaguar...they both have not done much this century and are a nostalgia piece for pensioners.
That is the video that brought me here.
Same for Hermes. They don't give a damn. They got enough customers lined up who are in highest position of their own countries. Those Snobby people also need a Snobby treatment. If you understand what I am talking about. It's like a rich guys going after a girl who ignores him. Everybody wants a challenge, no one likes that easy girl who spread hers open easily???
That is without a doubt the dumbest thing I have read on YT in some time. Jaguar - maybe, but Ferrari? What kind of a statement is that? They have come out with some of the most beautiful sounding and looking cars in existence. If you look at an F12 Berlinetta and say it's a "nostalgia piece for pensioners" then you just told the whole world you're a complete idiot, out of touch with reality, or maybe just really old. Probably all three.
He has a lot more than that, more than 200.
@@rickjohansson4257 only a couple more he said it yesterday on an interview around 200
Imagine buying a pair or Nike sneakers and being told you cannot cover up the Nike swoosh on them. You bought them...they are either yours or they aren't. This is why Ferrari has such an abysmal reputation in the sports car world. They want you to believe by them allowing you to buy one of their products, they are doing YOU a favor.
Weird thing happened about 6 months ago....I was waiting at a red traffic light, standing next to a Ferrari 458 in my 1972 VW Bug...mom with a young boy walked past and the little boy got exited, clapping his hands and smiling...pointing to my Bug. At first I thought he was making fun of me, but then he started waving at me...I honked the horn and he laughed of joy. And next to me, the poor guy in the Ferrari just stood and watched...
Was that you?
Herbie rides again
pure gold man, pure gold...
Maybe it's just me but when I'm driving I like to sit.
@@TW--- Yeah seems safer.
Like any other contract when you are buying a car at the dealership- cross out the sections you disagree with, initial them and turn the contract around back to the salesman. "These are *MY* terms." Then walk out the door if they argue about it. Just because it is on their 'boilerplate contract' doesn't mean you have to accept it. It is called negotiations for a reason.
Then they don't sell you one. They don't care.
@@machupikachu1085 Oh,yes they do. The commission is pretty hefty on a 500K car.
@@franciscotoro9454 and they'll get that commission, with their terms, from someone who isnt you.
Jay Leno was just talking about this type of Ferrari Contempt of Their Customers as the reason Jay Leno has no new Ferrari's in his collection.
Jay has ZERO Ferrari's in his collection, he doesn't want ANY Ferrari's because Ferrari's are repaired and serviced constantly, so you will have to deal with Ferrari at some point just to get parts.
This was in my recommended.
thank you
I understand the flipping rule, Ford and Chevrolt have done it as well. (Understanding does not mean agreeing with. You OWN the car, you can do with it as you will.)
Covering the badge I get. Ferrari, as blood-soaked as the brand is, is proud and prominent, and wants proper representation of their machines for the life of the machine.
Ferrari's used to kill race drivers or DNF constantly. If it wasn't poor brakes, it was gearboxes, if it wasn't gearboxes it was engines so high-strung they couldn't last, if it wasn't engines it was suspension components too light for the job that would break without warning. It's a dark past they want to put behind them.
Dark past? Formula 1, Le Mans, Indy Cars, NASCAR and many other forms of car racing took a heavy toll on driver lives in earlier times. Racing cars are highly strung machines, you don't win with a robust, slower design and car racing is an inherently dangerous pursuit. It was Colin Chapman at Lotus that took the concept to its limit, not Ferrari. Bruce McLaren, who founded the original company, died in a racing sports car crash, as did many of his contemporaries.
The thing is, like most wannabes, Ferrari needs the logo for their oversized vacuum cleaners to be recognized. This stems from the fact that stripped of paint, windows, logos and interior, you can ALWAYS recognize a Porsche, and since Porsche kicked Ferrari's ass regularly from 1970 on at LeMans,...well, there you have it.
The t-shirt and baseball cap company, who also make cars...
It's like you are going to a Dominatrix, but then again, some people enjoy that. #Keepit
Rules about owning a Ferrari you must understand the Ferrari will be in the shop at least one week out of every month.
Well, Ford had the customer wanting to get a Ford GT fill out a questionnaire to see if you deserve ownership. I really believe if you have enough nickels and dimes to buy a car and it's yours, you have the right to do with it what you want. Paint it with yellow and pink polka dots or turn it into a dog house. It's yours to do with it what you want.
Which was later changed due to how many people wanted the car however the new Ford gt mkll will be like that however the only thing that ford does not like is people using mystichrome but as you would probably know about theytictome Ford gt where they hand cuffed the suitcase and after they were done had to get Evey drop after ward as well as that Ford gt is the only Ford allowed to have that color beside the original car
Imagine GM doing this.. Jay Leno is right screw Ferrari.
Well GM is pretty much the bottom of the barrel, ssooo......
@@johndoe-so2ef Isn't GM in the top 5 biggest car manufacturers?
I'm told that Ferrari makes a particular model which is very fast and not easy to drive. To buy this car, you must first prove to Ferrari that you already own a Ferrari and have kept it for a certain amount of time. Then, you must travel to Italy (on your own $) and take their week-long driving course before you even qualify for ownership privilege. Then, put on a waiting list to buy the car. Arrogance on wheels !!
that sort of thing goes with all their high end models. In some cases you have to own the car 2 years and then have a company rep come out and inspect your car and then you have to pay 25 thousand to get a "certification" from Ferrari that the Ferrari that you own is in fact a Ferrari. In other cases, you have to purchase 1 or 2 lesser models just to be put on the waiting list for the higher end vehicle that you actually want.
I heard about that when the Enzo was released
Let's be honest, Porsche Carrera GT gave you free trailer and every merchandise possible without any hesitant
And still trying to kill you
@@bocahdongo7769 Ouch! Paul Walker is rolling in his grave.
And to add salt to that, Ferrari doesn't let you take your car home with you, it must be kept inside the Ferrarri's garage all the time, if you want to drive it, you must come to Ferrarri's HQ and drive the car there on their private tracks.
WHAT'S THE POINT BUYING A CAR THAT YOU CAN'T TAKE HOME WITH YOU?
Well, we all know the famous "purrari" and tbh i found it quite hilarious, so to dictate a customer/consumer what he can or can't do with his/her property is ridiculous. a dominatrix is much less expensive, but you get the same result. They somehow managed to reverse the merchand - customer relation to their favors.
imagine buying a Ferrari 2nd hand, LS swap it and tune it to the point it's faster than a stock Ferrari, then put a Chev badge on the bonnet
Chevari. LOL. Classic!
Number 1 rule for Ferrari owners.
Never ever mention how Ford comes to LeMans every few years and embarrasses them on the race track.
Remember that Enzo was so rude and abusive to his best customer at the time (who owned two ferrari back when everyone else had just one) that Ferruccio Lamborghini started his own company in spite. That has cost Ferrari billions over the years just because of his ego and bad temper. Obviously, the Ford GT debacle cost the brand too, again because of ill manners. Carroll Shelby won 30 races for Mr. Ferrari and asked for a fair share of the winnings. Enzo told him "you should be honored to drive for us" and basically take it or leave it. Shelby went to Aston-Martin, his own firm, and later Ford. When Ferrari started taking wild risks to win races, Shelby famously said "that SOB killed my friend Musso...and others too". When he got the Ford deal for the Ford GT's at Le Mans he said "Ferrari's ass is mine". Yes, all these men had egos but Enzo was such a jerk and he ended up hurting his own company and legacy in the process. Ferrari used to have unwritten rule that their new car owners had to be 40 years old and up. Because of age discrimination laws in many countries, especially the US, they cannot put that is writing. But suffice it to say several young celebrities offering to pay cash for 3-4 cars, one athlete with a certified $12 million cashiers check in hand(!), have been turned down under this unwritten rule.
I still think that what came after Ford GT was more humiliating, they did a really good car, the 512s, they finally could compete with Ford GT...
THEM COMES PORSCHE WITH THE FUCKING 917 AND WIPE THEM OUT SO FUCKING HARD THAT THEY NEVER WENT TO COMPETE AGAIN ON HEADS.
Porsche humble and dedication made them so good that the brand still has that amazing Aura. I still remember a old outdoor of Porsche that i've seen on internet. It show up porsche 9 of 10 first position in le mans, and says "no one is perfect."
To end it, Enzo died with his team being humiliated in F1 by McLaren, couldn't compete properly in Le Mans and saw the Porsche, again, destroy them with one car that it's on Magnum Opus class, the 959. The F40 is beautiful, but in comparison with Porsche 959 the F40 scream like dispair of a man that got totally surpassed.
I do think that if wasn't Schumacher and his dedication + F355, Ferrari would have be just something of past.
On another subject a guy in our town cut up his Rolls and made it into a pick up truck. He did a good job of it but I'm fairly sure you're not allowed to do that to a RR.
If this is real, what a madlad, also I'd love to see pictures
Evel Knievel, the famous motorcycle daredevil did the same thing to a Rolls-Royce back in the 1970s.
No way in hell would I agree to these "conditions". If I BUY a car, it's MINE, and I will do what I damn well please with it!
Jack it up and put off road wheels and tires on it. And trucker smoke stacks
If I were rich enough, I would jump through the hoops, buy it, then pull it out in the street and torch it.
Well that's one of the most enthralling video's ever.
Once you have bought an item IT IS YOURS unless you are buying it on a lease plan or a loan whereas it's the lease plan's or bank loan's rules that apply IF they so happen to agree with the Ferrari brand - which they do just to keep things "uncomplicated".
An individual can IGNORE this car maker's small print as long as the car is theirs.
The Brand can choose to do what it likes.
A lot of people saying this is absurd but just so you know the reason I do this is because there’s so much demand for these cars that they can and people still buy every single one they make and it helps keep their brand image the way they prefer. All brands would do this if they could get away with it but Ferrari is the only one that can so it’s the only one that does.
Hmmm. I'm sure that other brands would not do this. Leno won't buy a Ferrari because of this. It turns people off. Personally, Ferrari wouldn't be my top choices for a hyper or super car. I will admit the new Roma is pretty cool for it's category. Ferrari, in their own arrogance, did the world a favor and gave us Lamborghini, the Ford GT, and a couple other brands I am blanking on.
This is nothing compared to what Harley Davidson dealers did to buyers from 1999 to 2005. As in, 5 to 10K over list, minimum of 2K in accessories that the dealer had to install, you had to buy from a dealer closest to your address, you had to have a Harley to trade in, or they wouldn't sell you a new Harley and on and on.
Some customers just like to be treated that way. Other companies practice this technique as well, Hermes being one of them and what 'heritage' does Hermes have really? No, it's the type of customer, who already has everything, who likes this kind of treatment.
Lambo, McLaren, Bugatti, and others COULD get away with acting like total cocks, but that's not their way. And for the record, most Ferrari owners are just as big assholes as that company is.
so, they take advantage of one-track mind customers with too much money "because they can"?
Not sure if the same rules apply in the UK.In the seventies our local Ferrari dealer was quite happy to sell a car to a notorious local pimp.In fact he was sold two and wrote both of them off.
I was looking at a 2001 Toyota with 270,000 miles on it as my next ride but thought I should maybe look at what Ferrari has to offer. Thanks for this video 'cus it dissuaded me from going that route which would have been a catastrophe. I mean, I LOVE covering up my cars emblems and I repaint my cars with leftover spray cans from my graffiti side gig.
the "horse" is called Cavallino Rampante - The Prancing Horse. Thank you for your video.
I believe it. You have to be INVITED to buy some of those models. No BS.
I am with Jay Leno
I did not know any of this and now knowing this I will pass, NO ONE is telling me what I can or can not do with my car! There are plenty of other options out there.
Maybe Ferrari should more concerned about winning races and the formula one world championship versus harassing their customers. Now that Ferrari is in the SUV business, they have gone full corporate. The people running Ferrari today are more concerned about lining their pockets with $$$ then their history.
I have always taken it as a given that Ferrari owners knew no restrain and now find they accept unenforceable restraint with humility. So good.
This is good to know for one day when I do own a brand new Ferrari. It is a dream of mine to one day own a Ferrari and I know that day will come for me, I just hope that day comes for any one of u who has the same dream as me. 🙏
This is a few of the reasons why Jay Leno refuses to buy or Ferrari.
How to get around Ferrari's rules, buy a MB or Porsche and end up with a car you can actually drive every day and not have to worry about it bursting into flames.
Sounds like a HOA of sorts for cars...I kinda get it (meaning its mainly there to protect the value of all the other Ferrari owners' cars). Plenty of other fine automobiles/neighborhoods to choose from out there.
Useful for the future
It is a genius marketing technique. It makes the people who follow rules feel special, and it makes the people who hate rules want to buy it just to break the rules.
Haha, sounds about right.
Jay Leno : "Nah thanks, McLaren gave me engine upgrade for free."
Do the same rules apply to a Kia Picanto ?
Other than showing off, I have never understood the attraction of exotic cars. They cost a small fortune to purchase and insure, they tend to be mechanically unreliable and parts and maintenance charges for labor are exorbitant.
Just drive one, you will understand the attraction.
They’re mostly electronically unreliable the ecu and wiring are harder to deal with than the engine
You’ve never driven one. Yes, there are show offs, but there are also enthusiasts that track them and enjoy them. I was fortunate to have a wealthy car enthusiast boss at one point and got to drive a few of his on a couple of tracks out west. It was mind blowing how capable some of them were.
All I know about Ferraris was displayed at a race in 1966. Freedom trounced them so badly they gave up the race! Little Enzo was left crying......😪
are you talking about beiber? i do agree about the 1 year ownership... look at what happened to the c8
I've heard that certain models of Ferraris once brought can't be driven on streets and only driven on race tracks, plus, the company holds the car for you until you specify what track you'll be driving. You can't do personalizations to your car. You buy a Pagani and customize it any way you want with no problem.😎
Some models can't be driven on the street as they don't meet road requirements. FXX and other models fit into this. Part of the ownership becomes a track dedicated car but Ferrari also houses the vehicle and maintains it on your behalf. Is that worth it? Well, probably depends on where you fall into the economic bracket for whether or not having Ferrari stable your non-road car is acceptable. I'm pretty sure I'm never going to be in a financial place were such an arrangement would be a discussion.
The ultimate Stockholm Syndrome ride! I remember when I was younger and wanted a Ferrari. I'm a Porsche and McLaren guy now
I know one of these - Ferrari adheres to the owners location ie they won’t sell a Euro car to a US owner US driven car and vice versa.
After watching the Ferrari challenge and witnessing the cars fly apart like ripping open a bag of Doritos with just the slightest collision, the watching a Porsche have the same type of crash and just keep on racing, there is NO way I’d ever buy a Ferrari even if I had the money. I want a car you can drive, not sit in the garage and polish.
Pfft, I got a cease and desist letter from Farrari for changing the colour of my car in Forza!😂😂
Does this still apply if you buy it from used exotic dealer?
If I buy an item I'll do whatever the hell I want with it.
Is any of this enforcible in any way? Or is it just a case of if you break their 'rules', they can refuse to provide aftercare, and refuse to ever sell you another car?
This seems like an own goal to me; it only encourages an independent aftermarket support network, rather than persuading owners to stay loyal to the dealership.
At the other end of the market it's like brands 'insisting' you get services done with them at inflated prices. Aa soon as any warranty terms expire people go straight to the independent network. Weird.
So I’m curious how does Ferrari know if you’ve covered up your logo? Do they employ “goons” to drive around and look at Ferrari’s on the road and if they see one with a logo covered, do they force it off the road? I understand that they would obviously see it when you bring your car into the dealer for service, but you don’t necessarily need to get your Ferrari serviced at a dealer do you? Can’t you take it to a place that some other place that might specialize in working on exotic cars?
I have doubts about whether those contract clauses could be enforced in a court of law.
I once owned a Fiat, since then I've never wanted to buy an Italian car again.
WTF is there a contract?? When I buy a toaster, I pay my money, and my relationship with the Oster Co. is over. They no longer have a say in what I do with my toaster. This all is why Jay Leno won't buy a Ferrari.
I had an F430 and it was the best car I have ever driven. BUT....I agree you pay hundreds of thousands for something and they make you feel as though you are a schoolboy and the headmaster is giving you the rules.
They are factory hand built race, performance and luxury machines that are held to there own benchmark standard, i would feel the same way i guess.
There's other companies that make cars by hand and allow you to modify them.
at the end of the day, they are cars. the arrogance is unacceptable.
@@generalzod7959 Its their business so their rules. If people don't like, it don't buy it then. Simple. Pretty sure they never force people to buy their cars.
I loved how back in the day Willy Koenig said FU to all that and customized those cars to the moon and replaced all the badging with KS badges
My cousin had a Ferrari, along with everybody giving us a thumbs up the car was very uncomfortable. Every homeless person talks to you, every single one! They can’t help it. My cousin was just ignoring them cause he said it doesn’t stop. The seats started to hurt after 30 mins of driving in it, literally no room to rest, just sitting in it like a doll. After about 45 minutes my lower back was killing my, esp around my tailbone area…After an hr I was dying. So much pain. There was nothing to slouch or rest on. The seats felt like I was sitting in a toy car seat I couldn’t believe such a shitty car was so expensive. The interior deck and dash was so basic and ugly once u really looked at it. I remember the dash said “250” on it. I also pulled a muscle in my leg getting out of the car, tailbone area that goes right down ur whole leg…I couldn’t walk properly for about a week…within the first few days my cous scraped the bottom on an uneven road….it was bad. U could see it from so far away, like somebody took off the edge with a grinder…so I’d pass on the Ferrari even if I could afford one.
That's why you test drive
what model was your cousins ferrari?
What model
Which model are you talking about? Since you said it said 250 on the inside, was it a 60's ferrari?
Depends which ferrari though.
What about crashing through the dealerships showroom after hours?
He was reading straight from Mein Kampf
and this is why I'd rather have a Porsche
Jay Leno explained it perfectly "Great cars, horrible dealerships" Why pay to get a headache?
And ford pulled a stunt like like this with the new ford GT you had to get on a wait list and when approved your not aloud to sell it for 3 years
In all fairness the only Ferrari I ever thought was good-looking was the Dino 246GT because Tony Curtis was driving one in The Persuaders TV show when I was a kid...But I was never wowed with it either...
Hell...I would have bought a Opel GT 1900 back then instead... Except for that I have never felt the need to own one...
It’s not like they can take your car away you can do whatever you want but they probably won’t sell you parts or service
I have an '85 308 GTS. Gives me no problems. If you want a Ferrari forget these new ones. Get a Pininfarina Ferrari with a gated shifter.
For me, I think Ferrari is nothing but a "hype", their cars are made very cheaply, look at any 10 years old Ferrari and compare it to a Porsche 911 of the same age, you'll be amazed. I own a 1977 Porsche 911 turbo and its still very solid car (not restored), when I compare it with any 1980s 308 I see day/night difference! .. No wonder Jay Leno doesn't have a single Ferrari in his hundreds of cars collection.
Down with Ferrari!!!
Down with Tesla!!!
Down with car companies that control their customers!!!
bro did not just say down with ferrari. Realistically no one who has the money to buy a new ferrari is gonna drive it, much less buy it
Down with Ford 😏
what
how does tesla control there customers?
Vote with your wallet
Tell me you're full of yourself without actually saying.....
Ferrari: Hold my beer.
Seher güte Herr von Hennigs!
May u change a Ferrari rims ?
It's like HOA but for cars
Can I drive it hard and track it occasionally?
if you want it back in pieces, sure, why not! :)
non c'è modo
I'll stick to a used C5 Z06 Corvette for less then the cost of an oil change on one of their flagship models even if I put another 3 to 4 grand and a weekend worth of work have a car I can track and daily drive if I want to and not care about depreciation and gets driven more then a few times a year out of fear of not qualifying for the next flagship ferrari model which will sit right next to it on a tender only pulled out once in a while to show off to friends then parked right back.
Whatever happened to the first sale doctrine?
Just own a second hand one that has done its drop in value and is now on the way up.... 458 spider anyone......
Even if I could afford an expensive foreign sports car, I'd take a Lambo, Mclaren, Aston Martin..anything but a Ferrari. As much as I love their cars, not worth having to deal with the company. Jay Leno's analogy equating dealing with Ferrari and being super rich and paying a dominatrix to beat the crap out of you is freaking hilarious. And anyway, I like my Cobra.
Gotta admit I like that first rule. Can't cover the logo? Get bent, Enzo.
"it's a shitbox! it understeers like crazy and the weight distribution is a disaster-"
-a man who drove a Ferrari
LOL. That's Lauda for you.
So weird, is it still kinda theirs after I buy one lol.
Nobody tells me what to do.
Jay Leno....enough said....
I seen a Ferrari owner complain saying that every month the car has some kind of problem that goes wrong with it he said they’re really kind of a piece of 💩
How many of you have seen the ads for 2/3 year old Ferraris with less than 5000 miles on them? Absurd, might as well hang it on the wall.
Also I understand many sell their Ferrari before first major maintenance due to the cost.
& I thought the price was a deterrent.
Is this how the Wynn Casino in Las Vegas lost their Rarri dealership.
Does anyone know what they could possibly do if you did any of those things and broke their rules? What would the consequences be?
If you ignore a cease and desist order they are gonna sue you, for either a few thousands, or for a price that's gonna ruin your life entirely.
So just to be sure, just buy a mclaren or lamborghini
If you take ownership of anything, be it a car, a house, etc, how can the manufacturer have any right to tell you what you can do with it once legally owned by you?
