For someone who has bought a Ferrari new from one of their dealerships, are the rumors true?

It seems with the cash/credit, you could purchase. The new ($685G) Stradale is a true "Hypercar". It may be implied you have some racing training to drive one.

It's unlikely that you're going to find anyone on Yahoo Answers who has bought a new Ferrari. With that said, it is common knowledge in the car scene that in a lot of cases when it comes to buying a new Ferrari it's more of thing where they offer you the opportunity to purchase a car. You don't just show up unannounced to the Ferrari dealer, and buy a car. Either you or more likely, your personal assistant will contact the dealer and inquire about a buying Ferrari. You tell them what you want, and they will tell you what they have in stock. Ferrari dealers might have access to a total of 12 cars or so locally, with maybe 1-3 cars in the showroom. They don't keeps hundreds of these cars on hand like a regular mainstream dealer does.  If they have what you're looking for, you will be given a time to come look at/inspect/test drive the car.  Then you'll buy the car at sticker price if you like it.  This is how you get your foot in the door so to speak. If you buy a couple lower or mid range models, then you'll be granted the opportunity to purchase their more exclusive higher end cars.

When a new model comes out, it will only be offered to known customers who have bought multiple new Ferraris in the past. If you aren't a "known" customer then you will not have an opportunity to purchase the new flagship model when it comes out, and have to obtain it other ways, usually through a middleman who can buy the car.  Some models do carry waivers that say that the owner cannot sell the car for x number of months after taking delivery, and if you were to violate that, then Ferrari might not sell you the next big model. For their high end models like the LaFerrari, this was the case, it was only offered to customers pre-selected by Ferrari.  For their ulta-low production cars (the FXX line), the customer never takes delivery of the car. If you want to drive it, you call up Ferrari and they bring it out to whatever track you want to drive it on, and when you're done, they take the car back for safe keeping/service. 

There is no rule about not selling cars to people with Lambos or if you're young (You have to be 18 to purchase any car though). 

Volkswagen Group is the parent company of various other luxury car brands, including Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, and Lamborghini.

A Bugatti is far better.

The hardest part of owning a Ferrari is selling one used. The advantage of buying one used is that it puts you on to the list of Ferrari owners.

There are no Ferrari cars made that are not limited production. Some times the entire production run is sold out shortly after it is announced.

It is true that it takes more then money to buy a Ferrari. Financing a new one is not an option and the order will not even be placed with out a pretty big chunk of change down.

I doubt any one who has bought a new Ferrari is going to answer this question. The only info I can find on the web says you have to talk to a dealership to find out just what is required to buy a new one.
