TT Cab Pricing ???

what sort of guesstimates have folks been hearing about TT Cab pricing?

local dealer here told me +$20K for the drop top. he seemed to be using the C4S -vs- C4S Cab delta for justification, but i've never seen C4S Cab pricing.

the regular C2 -vs- C2 Cab is a $10K delta.

of course, this is a milking exercise to extract a chunk more money out of us - so late in the model cycle - so i guess i wouldn't be terribly surprised with $20K.

that'd be $137K base MSRP. slap in X50 and it's $155K before you start with your leather and stitching and stereo and wheel caps and the like. and we all know you can easily invent $10K or more in that process - so $165K or so?

what have other people heard?

No it is a 575M.

C4s-Trust me I wouldn't go for the 575M, my dad had one for about 5 months, and hated it everday, then sold it, and lost A LOT of money. I hated the car from day one. He traded his 360 Modena on the car, and I wish everyday that he would have kept the 360. The 575M, has WAY too much body roll, and lift during cornering and acceleration!! The suspension is WAY too soft in that car. The car also had a lot of problems within the 800 miles he had it including:
-Driver side door hande would not open from inside (had to reach out to open it, which lemme tell you is really impressive in a 200K+ car )
-Right rear shock had to be replaced
-Fuel door latch broke, and had to be taped shut while it took 2 weeks for the part to come in
-CD changer did not work
-No radio reception whatsoever(2 or 3 channels came in)
-Fuel gauge didn't work properly (never indicated full tank, was always 2 bars under, even right after filling up)
-Passenger window stoped working
Well you get the point, A LOT of crap happened, now don't get me wrong the car hauls ***, but it just had way too many problems.

Don't forget $8k for ceramics to get the weight down.

Just saw Bad Boys II...My TT is now for sale. Always wanted a Ferrari...so a TT is faster, more reliable, etc... but nothing sounds or turns heads better than a Rari with a Tubi!!!
I tholught there was an optional "Fiorano" package for improved handling??

Yeah, but one of the ugly parts was not necessarily that bullet holes in the passenger dash cost $21k to fix, but that he'll probably be waiting months for those parts!

My dad had a 550 and got rid of it right before they released the 575M....He was supposed to get one but will now wait for the 456 replacement due next year.
