my eyesight is bad...cant see anything written on the form even. Is that yr confirmation for yr 458 with options indicated?
not yours? btw, I received a copy of the options list for 458. Prices add up to quite a bit if you start ticking ... I remember the price that I paid for my 430 included 50k worth of options for me to choose from the list...746k total. That price looks like a damn good deal next to the 920k for a basic 458...
with some nice options..already 40k. Plus CF steering and some CF trim...70k. Will break 1mil if you want an out of range paint colour... and I cant believe IA charging 12k for electric seats...
Sigh...it sure looks like a gorgeous car. Sometimes I think, not good to try the best always. Bar is set higher everytime. I remember when I was contented with a 1.6litre honda vtec. Can rev to 8500 rpm and more. Hmm....just like the 458...and also 100 hp per litre output..but the honda was 17 years ago!
Yes its not cheap if you go with all the options... so one has to choose very carefully. Rims +$15k CF Steering +15k CF seat +20k CF everything in the cabin +50K??? Shields +4.4k The latest options include: 4 point seat belt Lifter Rear view camera
Lifter? from factory? you think its a must have like for lambo which are very low...without it cant clear a lot of basement car parks Rear view cam...that one must cost at least 10k. I think I paid 2500 for the one in my gtr, original factory installed somemore...
Yes its a factory fitted lifter. I don't think its necessary. The F458 is only 7mm lower than the F430 If you opt for the rear sensors I don't think its necessary to have the rear view cam. The rear sensors are connected to the front left screen which will give you a visual distance indicator.
I had the rear parking sensors on my 430. Really cheapo sounding beep..and it didnt really help much at all. But it wasnt connected to any instrument that showed distance reading. I wouldnt opt for it again. Lifter adds weight too...not good.
The rear parking sensor is different now. Its like the Bentley's. Its hooked up to the screen and can see the distance. Its better now. I tried it on the California. Very good.
sigh . us mere mortals still using the good old long tiok oo sia rear sensor. just cracked the rear diffuser of the cs -again -last week.. come to think of it, might be cheaper to buy the damn sensor
Was browsing around & saw this G'sport. I thought it's quite good value? I sounds pretty good & looks the business too. http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=64865&DL=1231
Me thinks it's not necessary as the front overhang is rather short but guess we'll only know when u start using it.
hahaha but speaking of that I'm not too bothered with the externals of my car anymore. I just realised that I've never actually waxed my Murcie over 2.5yrs of ownership but did paint it 1.5 times. Maybe ah Long is right as he claims he uses the best lacquer in the business. It doesn't have reverse sensor or camera & no rear diffuser either except the big fat tyres as bumpers. An SV owner said he picked up chips even on the roof without visiting trackdays which shows how low it is. For the porker, it was mint when I picked it up last month but it's earned a lot of chips by now & am thinking, it'll be scratched or chipped again so why bother painting it but I'm fussy with internals though.
