This is like buying a Ferrari.

Before they let you buy a new one, you have to buy used ones from that dealer.

And that is why Jay Leno has hundreds of super-premium, vintage, and one of a kind vehicles, but no Ferraris. Bad politics, but sound on cars, Leno is.

I had always heard that. Then, one day at the race track the guy in the pit box next to me was in a new 430. So, I asked him what Ferraris he had owned before, he told me this was his first. I asked if he had bought it used, he said he had not, that it was brand new off the showroom floor. I then asked about the maintenance costs, and he said that he had only had 1 scheduled trip to the dealer for routine service, and that was just under $1500. (He owned a paving company in Calgary IIRC).

Now, all that being said, the SPECIAL Ferrari models, the F40/F50/Enzo/LaFerrari/Monza, etc., are DEFINITELY this way. There’s an interview with Jay Leno where he talks about why he doesn’t/won’t own Ferraris. And it’s just this.
