    Thanks for the details. Would love to see the window sticker when you are able to post. This price increase has me a little deflated...I’m slightly less excited about my upcoming delivery now. My wife is going to be pissed...she was already giving me grief back when I placed the order and my spec crept over 300k...ugh. All of a sudden the idea of buying a secondhand 458 is sounding a little better (pun intended).

    Sorry to sidetrack your thread on the pricing.
    Looking forward to reading your impressions of the car (and seeing more photos) after you pick it up this week!

    Yes, 2nd car from them in a year. My other is a 2015 458 Italia, which I decided to keep.

    No real change in the cost of the listed options ( can't tell about "other options" ).

    Anybody know what the base price was on a 2018 GTB ?

    tickerhound,
    Thanks so much for posting the 2019 window sticker -- very helpful! When I compare to my original buyer's order with the dealership it looks like $9,847 increase to the base price and $1 or $2 differences on a handful of options but generally the same as I was expecting. I'm relieved -- after your previous post on Sunday afternoon, I was bracing myself for a $20K+ increase in the overall price. My incoming spec is very similar to yours, just less carbon fiber trim and I went with STC2, red lower dash, red central tunnel and the diamond-cut wheels.

    Congrats again, and please post more photos when you take delivery!

    -Luke

    Thanks Luke- Wed/Thurs weather permitting. Awesome on your spec with the red lower dash. I actually ordered carbon fiber in the engine compartment but it didn't arrive that way. Going to get the parts at cost from the dealer. I installed those in my 458 ands it really make the engine compartment pop.

    Nice - I love the carbon fiber engine bay, that will look great with all of the other carbon components you have. I didn’t order the carbon fiber engine bay and regretted it, so I already bought the MyRicambi aftermarket kit...just sitting here in a box ready to install as soon as take I possession. Novitec valveless exhaust is on the way as well.

    My 458 spider ran to $317K. I could never get the homelink to work with the gates in our Condo. The dealer tried also and gave up. I love homelink. I hope you get yours to work!

    My 2018 488 Spider (May build) came with the rear camera. I didn’t order the camera, nor was it listed on the window sticker.

    I love the carbon fiber in the engine bay. I had it from the factory on my 430 and just made the engine compartment look so much better. Even thought about doing it in my 458 Spider (I know - you can't see it anyway)

    BTW - Exact spec I was thinking about when I talked to me dealer about a 488. Had the allocation but never pulled the trigger. Congrats!

    Pay a **** ton of tax! I trade stocks and options and most of my gains are short term and taxed as regular income. Cost of doing business.
