    Brand new one-off Factory Ferrari SP38 has a very familiar looking rear wing

    From the Autocar article: "The Ferrari SP38 has been revealed by Maranello as its most recent custom creation, with the road-legal one-off being based on the 488 GTB. The dramatically-styled one-off nods to the F40 and 308 GTB in its design, said Ferrari, and it has been drastically altered at...

    Test drives for everyone!

    I do not know how it works for Acura, but American Honda considers an untitled vehicle new up to 4,999 miles, if they have 5,000 or more miles they do not qualify for special leases or financing. This is to allow for demo units or vehicles for dealership employees.

    Secure Parking Needed for my NSX taking a cruise out of Seattle

    In 30 years I have not had issues parking in the covered parking garage at SeaTac airport for a week or more. You could park there and take the light rail from there to downtown Seattle. I would rather park at SeaTac's garage than park for a week or more in a covered garage in downtown...

    Production started, according to Autoblog

    Iron rotors are standard. Carbon brakes are an extra cost option - they are not a profit center, they do cost significantly more than iron brake systems. Super cars eat brake pads, eat tires, and simply cost more to maintain. A $200,000 car has a completely different cost structure than a...

    Hmmm, Raleigh, NC and Boise, ID. Raleigh is near Seymour Johnson and Boise is near Mountain Home... are you with US Air Force or just coincidence?

    Dealer markup $10,000 and refusal to honor agreement at MSRP

    I'm going with a man I know who actually owned an F40, F50, and Enzo all at the same time amongst other rare collector cars. He kept the F40 and Enzo and said he sold the F50 to get the LaFerrari because the F50 was the least desirable of the modern supercars and he could get an F50 anytime he...

    Leasing

    My understanding is that IF Acura were to lease the NSX, it would not be a deal whatsoever. I imagine it would be a massive lease payment with a too-high residual.

    The Trials And Tribulations Of My Pursuit Of A NSX

    The dealership that ordered the car will deliver the car at their dealership so they get credit for the sale - to be allocated a new NSX for the next sale. Therefore the selling dealership would not have it shipped to another dealership and have it PDI'd at the other dealership. So if you...

    Capitalism at its finest. A ridiculous $60k markup!

    If you could sell your NSX at $60,000 over a suggested price you would take it. The market will determine the price, they will find out if they can sell it for $60k over MSRP or not. If they can, good for them, just like you would be happy if a buyer came and offered you $60 grand over...

    Dealer markup $10,000 and refusal to honor agreement at MSRP

    The F50 order mentioned above was a specific order on a specific model car in a completely different strata. Anyway, history now shows the F50 the least desirable of all modern Ferrari supercars - they are bargains and you can find one anytime you need one. Those who paid 6 figures over and...

    Seattle Area - HUGE favor needed!

    I don't know what recourse you have, but if you paid with a credit card I would start with your credit card company and see what can be done on that end to get your money back for goods and services not received.
