Bought the 488 from Leeds, but live much closer to Wilmslow. Any reason to take the car for its next free service at one or the other?

I'd like to try a 296 to see if it's something I'd like to place a deposit on. With Leeds I'd probably get car picked up and dropped off, with Manchester I'd probably just drop it off myself.

Either garage get better reviews than the other?

Both are good dealers, but if you are looking to get new car allocations in the future your best bet is to stick to the dealer who supplied your current car for all your sales and servicing, it’s like with Porsche GT3’s you need a good dealer relationship to get up the pecking order.

You may have missed the boat for now on the 296 unless you can get a cancellation slot, last I heard the order books are now full for next 2 years for both GTB and GTS and Ferrari now stop taking orders at 2 years.

Your best bet would be an expression of interest with your current dealer.

If you are waiting to drive new Ferraris before purchasing decisions you can usually forget getting new allocations, they are usually sold out long before the first cars are even delivered, and you’ll usually need to get your deposit in by the customer preview event at the latest and then may have a 2 to 3 year wait for a car unless you are high up the list.
