    What started as wanting a California then a Portofino ended up in a 488. My first F car and couldn’t be more excited. After a few months of searching and realizing that “deals” aren’t common I pulled the trigger on what I thought was coolest 488. Isn’t heavily optioned but checked off all the must boxes for me. Car is in NJ hoping to arrive in Miami next week. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Very nice, love the colors . You won’t miss most of the options anyway.

    See if you can find good independents as warranty and eventually maintenance coverage expire.

    Consider a darker window tint if it will be a FL car. I’d also look into the windshield as well.

    And most important, drive it and enjoy it!

    Congrats! I have seen that car in person, since Kerbeck is my Lambo/Bentley/Rolls dealer. I have been buying from them for a long time.

    It’s a clean car, you will be happy. Did you buy it from Marc?

    Marc is as straight up and honest as can be. He has been my salesman at all the previous dealerships he has worked at.

    You will enjoy the car!

    Congrats! Very nice car, and you will like it a lot more than the California or Portofino. The 488 is far more capable and much more special to drive.

    I am stoked for delivery to arrive. Started the journey a few months ago and what learned on here was priceless.

    So it arrived. Car is 100% mint. First F car and all I can say it felt like my first 3some. Glad I went with the 488 and not a portofino or Cali ( nothing wrong with either ) . I just go into my garage and stare. Now I get why there is a unique membership to the F Car club.

    You may want to be careful with what you say. It may, can and would be used against you one day. First 3some... dangerous grounds... LOL

    Shouldn't that be:
    A couple of holes in two? (instead of a hole in one)
