There's the integrity of the operation at stake as well. Secrets especially would be at risk not to mention takeovers and other treacheries. Their premium wood stock might be just that - stock only. IDK. I think they should keep chuggin' away their way.

I got on the list in 2014 and it was about a 10 year wait at that time I think. So it's definitely gotten quite a bit longer since then. But it's not like I have anything tied up in being on the list and whenever my name does come up it will be a very happy day, so I'm fine waiting. I'm glad they don't try to ramp up production, they're a small shop and they know what they're doing and what they're capable of producing at the quality standards they set for themselves. Hard to question a business that has such a good reputation their wait list is well over a decade long right now.

personally, I have a problem with a business running a list out that far. Close it off, and take as long as you want to get through what you have now.
Continuing to add customers to a 10-year wait is asinine but as long as you're not taking a deposit I guess it's between the company and the future customer.
Cue builders that make you put down a deposit for a five-year wait should be paid a visit by the FTC, or at least their state's gaming commission because at that point you're basically doing an illegal lottery.

Or, will you be alive when it's your turn to have one built...
There is no cost to be on their list for normal production cars-for some cars there is no list.
On Some limited production cars they invite people to the list. You can’t get on the list unless you are invited.

I have no idea. Never seen a price list from them.
It’s only a list. Didn’t cost anything. If my name never gets called so be it. No harm no foul

That's surprising, if I go to the car dealer and order, they want some cash.There is no cost to be on their list for normal production cars-for some cars there is no list.

If you pass when your car comes up, they have zero problems to find another buyer. Same as Lauri actually

These days it’s impossible to get on Ferrari VIP list. That filled up about 20 years ago. I know one guy in it, he’s worth a couple B and has been a huge Ferrari customer for 40+ years.
It is possible to have some juice with Ferrari, but not much. The reason is they don’t want the flippers to exploit and whore out the brand name and value. Which makes sense. Same for Rolex and other luxury manufactures where the secondary market is well above retail(even when the economy sucks)
