That was not the case when we were looking. If you are flexible on exterior, interior color, style of seats, etc then perhaps. I'm sure there is a deal out there here and there. Well optioned low miles cars are still bringing 200+ .
90 results on a search for 2010/2011 458s on Autotrader. Ok, I'm $6k off on average asking price. :^) Image Unavailable, Please Login

im sorry but the prices staying at 200k doesnt mean anything.. The reality is these cars are not moving at 200k! So sure, these dealers and private parties can hold firm on 200k but here goes another year, and another year and eventually they depreciate so at the end of the day a lot of people are selling to move on. Look at ebay and cars.com you can see the same cars for months and months without movement. There is a 2011 with 9k miles white, well optioned for 184k on ebay and its not even getting a look....The guy said he would take 175k lol
what are u talking about there's a guy here who just paid 210 or 215 for a low mile white car. where is everyone who has paid 180k for a sub 5k mile car? show us.
if anything this forum is full of people who have tried buying low mile cars under 200k - ask them how it's been.
Someone just did an autotrader search above. Average asking price is $206,000 not $175-180,000. Where are all these $175,000 cars from Ferrari dealerships that have no paintwork done etc?
Yeah. We tried. It didn't work. I'm no slouch at negotiating either. Paid 225 for this one 3 weeks ago. 1200 miles. Had a deal on a similar 2011 for 215. http://inventoryplus.dealertrack.com/showroom/10691/photos/27763428
Yah, it was me that did the search; I'm also the one saying you can find nice examples and buy them for $175k. Asking price and 'sold for' price are 2 different things. Open your eyes, look around - they're out there - all depends on what options and miles you want. Truth is you did get a killer deal on what is essentially a loaded, brand new 458 (1,200 miles). Nobody is saying that example should have only cost $175k.
Just found a 2013 458 Spider with a $360k list (super loaded), CPO car, nero/nero, 25k miles, can buy it now for $215k but miles are very concerning to me. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
that's another hypocrisy of this site (not specific to the poster) everyone cries sin when people say they don't drive their cars a lot. Yet when high mileage 458s present themselves no one wants them. such an odd board I tell you. when prices are low "it's what the market dictates". when prices are high it's a bubble. what's amazing is there are people who haven't bought a car from 2007 on and they consider themselves knowledgeable. like the guy calling people who have bought cars recently the greater fool. maybe the greatest fools have none? like if you have none and you think they're too expensive why spend time on a forum called ferrarichat? there must be better ways to spend their time.
This a very fair number. I have no affiliation. If the miles bother you pay 25k more to get a no mile car. It's your call chief.
At $215k, you're way below the ask for other 2013/14 Spiders. What's to worry about? 8k miles per year - it's a cream puff. Dealer is going to CPO it and you get some amount of original warranty plus 7 year scheduled maintenance.
I agree, if I can afford the car then I will buy it. It may not be a good deal, it may depreciate further but the most important thing is I got to experience it. Those that are willing to wait or keep waiting just don't want it enough. I would rather be the guy driving the Ferrari instead of the guy waiting to buy the Ferrari.
The thing is all purchases are time incongruent. The seller wants last years value and buyer wants next years price. The hypocrisy continues because the Ferrari Dealer is the highest level of sale ( maybe Fchatter friend is a close second). But mostly Fcar dealers don't discount or consistently discount. Mileage is the next hierarchy, color then option. And accidents are discriminatory - some will not even think about it. But some of us, that last 25k is the hardest to part with - it's an anchor on the rest of the money. I don't think it's about the money it's about the purchase. Sort of if I can get it for this price, I want it- as opposed to the idea I m buying it and it will cost x and I will sell for less. The last part of it is we all compromise the community but occupy a part of the depreciation curve for Ferrari we feel comfortable with and anticipate the cost accordingly. Personally I like Jim Glickenhaus comment about not driving your Ferrari to maintain the value is like not having sex with your girlfriend so she will be more attractive to her next boyfriend. .
if at the end of the day your financial ruin comes to fruition because of the marginal 25k it wasn't buying the ferrari that did that to you...it was something else, most likely much bigger and relevant.
