Wanted Desperately Seeking a 458

Well maybe not "desperately", but I am looking for a 458 that has been stewarded with meticulous maintenance (with records), not tracked, wrecked, rented, smoked in or otherwise, that needs to find a new "steward" to care for it's future! But I would also like it to have been driven at least 1,000 miles a year but no more than 3,000(ish) miles a year. Prefer one owner, but will consider more if records are present. What I want:

Coupe or Spider, but depends on price
Must be open to a PPI
2012-2014
Colors are flexible, I like several combinations. More important is the condition
Love carbon fiber
Like leather, dislike Alcantara, love the contrast stitching and stitched prancing horse
Front End Lift (have a steep driveway)
Full Electric Seats
Parking Sensors and Back up Camera
Factory stock

These are mostly wants, except the electric seats, front end lift, and previous quality ownership.

I have scoured online all the dealers, car sites, etc and thought maybe there is someone here who is looking to make a change in the garage. I am on the west coast, so added points for proximity, but not a deal breaker. Ready to pull the trigger for the right car.

I did see that car. Cudo’s to your friend for picking it up.

Sounds like a great car, but I broke my back a couple of years ago and the full electric seats are important for the adjustability and comfort. I suppose i could refit, but race seats wont have the value to me as they would someone else. Unless my interpretation of the race seats is misguided. I have briefly experienced them in a 430 and didn’t see the ability to make them work for me. Am I wrong in their abilities?

Bump - still looking. Thank you to those who have reached out with leads.

 

I wasn’t aware you were a dealer until I followed the link. Why don’t you post the white Spider in the Commercial section like the other dealers.

An update on my “desperation”

Since I started my search last year, I have learned quite a bit from you fine folks, and the marketplace and here is the adjusted wish list. If you have or know of any 458’s like this let me know.

Yr: 2012-2015
Ext: Rosso, Tdf blu, grigio silverstone, maybe nero. No white.
Int: No full red. Tan, Nero, etc. special stitching is a bonus. Color depends on exterior match. Red inserts actually look nice, but don’t care for full red personally.
As little Alcantara as possible. None in the seats.
Love Carbon Fiber inside and out. Minimum: Steering Wheel and dash.
Seats: Must be Full Electric, no racing seats.
Body: Coupe or Spider
Mileage: Under 20k and commensurate with price
Front end lift not required, but nice option.

So, if you know of anything please reach out.

That is a nice example and have chatted with the owner. It unfortunately has the wrong seats for me. I love the color combo as well!
