Totally understandable LOL. Here in Brazil, Porsche, BMW and Mercedes ask for 20 to 40% up front. The Ferrari and Lambo ditributor asks for the full 100% upfront. It is insane, and people still submit to buying the car in this conditions.

Funny story is that there was a guy in recent years that bought an M3, (ordered it), and it turned out that BMW sent him the wrong car here to Brazil. Instead of sending a Tanzanite Blue fully specced DKG M3 F80, they sent a Manual with no options in the same colour. As it turned out the car owner took the car and then flipped it with 20k usd.
