Discount??? The dealer said "don't even ask me for $1 of discount....I can't do that...I barely make money on these cars!".... Yeah right!

Anyway, I've already ordered the grey wheels.

Thanks for the comments

I think of it this way, its like buying a luxury watch and if you do in Kuwait you get an adequate discount but they wont treat you as good as the more experienced shops in europe which do provide you the 5 star treatment, get you seated and they order you coffee as an example. Where as in Kuwait the shop keeper just touches the watch with his bare hands without wearing a glove and other proper equipment.

I know how you feel, I just checked out your thread on Ferrari chat and if I was in your shoes I would take it as it is because it looks stunning. Take care and good luck.

Hiper,

I read your thread on F-chat.

I'm very sorry to hear the bad news but in my opinion you're certainly going the correct route by ordering the grey wheels.

At such a level of the "game", the car should be all that you desired it to be and more. The screwup sucks big time.

All the best with the Scud and I hope as soon as you start driving it, the happiness and excitement will return.

I think gray/silver wheels would be killer.

I agree. Silver stripe/silver wheels on red is stunning! Hopefully the right wheels come in soon and then you really get to start driving and enjoying your new ride!

Thanks It's actually "Gulf Specs", which is almost identical to Euro spec. (Gulf being: Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the UAE).

Sorry to hear about the mistake. Certainly takes the edge out of the joy of taking delivery of your Scud.
Anyway, Mabrook ow ya36eek 5airha ow yakfeek sharha..

Curiously, the second Scud got delivered here last week in Black with Gold wheels and Grey stripes as well. Maybe the customer ordered it this way but I didn't like how it clashed.
