    Find another car IMO 3 owners ? I would NEVER buy a car second hand unless it was a one owner. 3 is fishy to me.

    If you don't mind any thoughts on pricing for the 488 Spiders right now? Looking at a car that had a original sticker of $381k (loaded) 2017 with 5600 miles. They want around $289k. They turned down my first offer of $265k. Seems like the prices have crept up in the last 2 weeks from what I'm seeing nationwide.

    They seem to be selling at a prettty good clip. My dealership had one come in here on consignment and it was sold before he dropped it off. Have seen a lot come and go quickly over past few months. Mine was same 387k msrp (9k of which was air fright) but has 9200 miles. I bought at 269. Which I think it’s a touch high S most were mid to low 260s with some mileage.

    Not been my experience. I am 4th owner on my 2012 458. I have had it for 4 years now - zero issues. All three previous owners traded in for a newer model and was always maintained at my dealership. Some people get bored of cars quickly (I am one of those)

    One of my favourite mods!
    Highly recommended! Owner is great Italian man. Good quality, full carbon, and perfect colour matching for my bianco avus.

    Same boat saw the 458 and it’s awesome in all ways. Ended up with a 488 and other than sound for my eyes the 488 was just more me. Bad day in business? Rough day in life? I open garage take cover off go for quick cruise and all is better.

    I am now at 1yr 4 months ownership of my 2019 488GTB. I still love it... would deeply only want to replace it with a Pista but right now that is out of my ballpark. Still love the red, added Novitec spring but it's not slammed, HRE P107 wheels stock 20" with Michelin Cup2's and it is a great great road car. Carbon dash parts where a must for me as I do not like the carbon on the steering wheels but the silver plastic other dash parts....all carbon in side. I did not wan the front lift either so this car was perfect...only thing I wish it had was race seats with red striped in the center and red stitch.

    My problem is I like to drive it...it now has 4700 miles on it.... which seems to freak out other 488 owners or possible buyers. I have honestly been holding back driving it or it would now probably have 6,000 miles on it. When I had my Porsche 911's...type 997-991 GTS and GT3 cars 6-10k a year was really no big deal. I miss that honestly.

    5000 exquisite miles in year 1. Of course, battery did give out. But, heh, not complaining. Blu Pozzi with Cuoio.

    Drive it. I am meeting more and more 488 owners with 15k+ miles. Life is short. Mileage on your Ferrari is meaningless after you are gone.
