(跳蚤市場長這樣:http://goo.gl/VNf0JH)
首先,他向法拉利申請購買敞篷LaFerrari......但是......竟然被發卡!!!
不甘心的他,越想越賭爛,反正你法拉利就是要錢啊......好~老子就給你錢!
他老兄直接匯了100萬美金給法拉利執行長 Sergio Marchionne,擒賊先擒王!
但是,法拉利把錢退還給他,再補了另一張好人卡!!!
.........哇操......法拉利你他馬的搞我啊......
林北N年前就跟你買馬了,現在手上也還有一堆馬兒~~~
更別說車庫裡還有一台期望市值高達一億美金的275 GTB/C Speciale~~~
你原廠竟然不賣我敞篷拉法,到底是什麼意思???
接下來大家就等著看好戲吧,上了法院,法拉利勢必得說清楚篩選準車主的過程囉~
原文:
Ferrari could probably have sold every LaFerrari Spider it will build three
or four times over. Long before it had even been announced. When a very
limited production run is massively oversubscribed like that, it’s
inevitable that people will have to be turned away. Rather than swallow the
disappointment and move on, one collector who was passed over for a LaFerrari
Spider has decided to sue Ferrari.
Preston Henn, former racer and owner of the legendary Swap Shop in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida, had his application to buy a LaFerrari Spider turned
down. So desperate was he to secure one that he sent a million-dollar deposit
cheque directly to Ferrari CEO Sergio Marchionne. But it was returned along
with notification that he wouldn’t be able one at all.
Henn has taken considerable exception to this. He has a history with Ferrari
stretching back 60 years and has owned dozens of them. He still maintains a
large collection of Ferraris that he displays at the Swap Shop and elsewhere
including the 275 GTB/C Speciale, chassis number 6885, which is thought to be
worth $100 million.
According to the lawsuit, filed at the United States District Court, Southern
District of Florida, Fort Lauderdale Division, Henn found out through third
parties that Ferrari considered him “unqualified” to buy a LaFerrari Spider.
Henn reckons the “demeaning” rejection amounts defamation. The filing says:
“The publication of the statement that Preston Henn is not qualified to
purchase a LaFerrari Spider is an untrue statement which harms Henn’s
reputation, and holds him up to ridicule, disrespect, and disrepute in his
profession, trade, occupation, avocation, and among his friends and business
and social associates.“
Henn is seeking damages "in excess of" $75,000. A trial by jury has been
requested.
It'll be very interesting to see how this plays out. Should it go to trial,
Ferrari will have to make public exactly why it turned down Henn's
application and, by extension, how it decides who is worthy and who is not.
Further, if the judgement went against Ferrari, it could remove the right of
all car manufacturers to choose who they sell limited-run cars to. Maybe even
their right to limit production in the first place.
