    After a long wait I was finally ready to move on a 458.

    Found a 2011 with 7000 miles and 1 year Ferrari warranty. Rosso Corsa on black interior.

    It doesn't have Nav which I don't care about but sadly there's no parking sensors front and back! the availability in Canada isn't great at the moment and everything else about the car is great so I pulled the trigger regardless.

    I'll just not park and constantly drive...problem solved.

    I'll post some pics in the next couple of days.

    Looking forward to sharing with the rest of the Ferrari community.

    Parking sensors aren't that important. I dont have them and have no issues. Just take your time.

    My dealer in CT had a 2014 rossa corsa spider with 7k miles for 265k. Thought that was a great price...

    We might not ever see any photos if you can't park it :)

    How are your texting (forum posting) while driving skills?

    That's what I thought...definitely not a deal breaker on the right vehicle.

    I'm in Canada and with the recent change in exchange rates buying a U.S. car makes no sense unfortunately

    Hahaha....that's a good point. I'll find someone to take photos while I'm in motion ;)

    I'm very happy with the specs on this car.

    Shields
    Front lift and AFS lighting system
    Full Carbon Fiber interior with Carbon LED steering wheel
    Carbon Fiber Race Seats
    Red stitching
    Navigation, Bluetooth, Sattelite Radio and Premium HiFi sound system
    In Out electric monochromatic mirrors with homelink
    Leather lower tunnel
    iPod connection
    Yellow rev counter
    Leather headliner
    Leather rear shelf
    And a few more things...

    Seems like a well equipped car!?

    In the first post it says no nav. Then in the list it says nav. I think you have nav w no park sensors?

    Absolutely... That sounds like a good idea.

    Very nice car.
    Don't understand how you can have 1 year left on the warranty. I was under the impression 458s only come with 3 year warranties.

    The new car I found has 4000 miles.

    The vehicle is sold by a Ferrari dealer as a CPO (certified pre owned) car and they provide a Ferrari Power warranty for 1 year from date of delivery.
