    Hi All,

    I'm selling my well-optioned 2008 599 GTB and wanted to list it here first to see if there is any interest. I have loved this car for the time that I've owned it, but something better awaits so I need to make room.

    The exterior is in Tour de France Blue on tan leather interior with blue stitching and piping. The car has 17.5k miles. Some of the goodies include carbon ceramic brakes, carbon fiber driving zone with LED shift lights, yellow brake calipers, Daytona power/memory seats, bluetooth, in dash cd/mp3 player, tinted windows, colored steering wheel, carbon fiber dash, carbon fiber center console, carbon fiber seat inserts, carbon fiber seat backs, rear shelf leather upholstery, leather headliner, Scuderia Ferrari shields, cascade telematic navigation system, iPod Connection and electrochromatic rear view mirror. I have the original books, both keys and all service records. The car has a clean carfax and no accidents or paintwork. No error lights and everything functions as it should.

    After purchasing it, I had a clear bra film installed on the front bumper and partially on the fenders and the hood. I also added FabSpeed straight pipes and a custom set of ADV1 (20" front/21" rear) wheels in a "man bronze" finish. I still have the original 20" Monolitic wheels and tires the car came with. Tires on both sets of wheels are in excellent shape. I know someone interested in the wheels and straight pipes so I will be happy to remove them and replace with factory items and provide a discount.

    The car does have some rock chips prior to clear bra install and I'd be happy to share additional pics to interested parties to provide full disclosure. I am a private party but the purchase of this vehicle will happen through a reputable dealer in Houston, TX (no additional cost to you) so I can take advantage of the tax credit. The dealer can also help arrange finance or lease options for you if you require.

    I've attached a few pics, but you can see more here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/118824275@N07

    I don't know what else to say but if I missed anything, feel free to post questions here or PM me. Thank you.

    I love those wheels! How did you get euro plates in Texas?

    Thank you. I got the custom plate from europeanplates.com. Although they display my real TX plate number, they are not issued by a state approved agency so they are technically illegal.

    The car has been worry-free for me. I had an issue once with a CEL coming on, but it turned out that too much oil was added after an oil change. Drained about a quart and never had the issue again. The 599 is the most practical and comfortable exotic I've ever owned.

    That is, without question, the prettiest 599 I've ever seen. I normally don't love aftermarket wheels, yet that car is basically how I'd have ordered it as a new car. Very fine ride. (Side note: I bought my bb512 from Sugarland and loved the visit to your town.)

    Wow, thank you. Nicest compliment ever :)

    Yes, Sugar Land is a great city to live in. Glad you visited and hope you can return in the future.

    I often drive it, lot of power.
    The gearbox is not so appropriate for a daily use in the city in my opinion.
    And that's the best 599 that I've ever seen (me too :p)

    I don't have issues driving in the city. However, I rarely keep it in "auto" mode...the shifting is annoyingly slow.

    Thanks for the compliment.

    Here the road condition is very awful.
    That's the point I suppose.
    I think that a 458 could be better than the aventador for the daily drive. :)

    Significant price drop! New price: $159,900 obo.

    I had decided to keep the car, but now I'd like to sell again. Need a quick sale.
