    All,

    I have been looking around for a 488 GTB. I thought you would enjoy this one. 2018 with no options. The option's plate is just blank other than car colors. This guy ordered and bought new from Ferrari Houston. Just walked in and said "I will take a black one with a black interior-thank you." One owner had all service done at dealership. $229k.

    This could be fun to get and just do with it want you want. I would pay for OEM installed carbon fiber steering wheel, and maybe add carbon fiber center consol. It's like a "Build-A-Bear" for Ferraris.

    He bought it for his Goomah. Tired of her so he's selling it.

    Wow that's cool - I never would have thought a dealership would even ALLOW that spec.

    My buddy had a red tan 488 without options that was sitting new on the showroom floor some time ago. He drove it and almost broke even when he sold it. So they do exist.

    Usually a matt black/grayish. Black painted is extra like yellow.

    I did the same. My first ferrari was exactly this. Black, zero options, was a special order car that erroneously left of all the options. Still my wifes favorite of all

    Which options would be must-haves on the 488GTB?

    The ones I can think of, are just nice, but wouldn't make or break the experience

    - AFS1 Adaptive Frontlight system
    - ELEV Suspension Lifter
    - RSFE Full Electric Seats
    - PAC1 Parking Camera
    - PAR2 Front and Rear Parking Sensors
    - MIH2 Inn/OUT Electr Mirror+Homelink
    - SNDH Premium Hi-Fi System
    - LEDS Carb Fib Steering Wheel + LEDS

    As I type them out I realize I don't care, maybe the barebones is exactly the perfect Ferrari....

    I'd think long and hard about the price, with some emphasis on resale value. Zero options plus high mileage = a tough sell. The calipers were likely painted by post delivery.

    Shields are also a must have.
