What next after the 458?

I kept my 458 Italia 3 years, I have since 2015 a Speciale: what happiness! the Pista will join the Speciale in March but will not replace it

 

def not a GT3RS, the values are still sinking and it's a rather boring car vs a ferrari unless you track it. Mclaren sounds like crap so that's kinda missing the point with the spider. If you miss having a spider get another spider in addition to the 458, switching italia for a spider is too small a change despite better sound. Maybe a huracan spider or r8 spider to pair with the 458. Performante would be good but doesnt look at beautiful as the 458, but that's all subjective lol, and besides, they will prob only drop more in value

 

Go Speciale
I’m looking at doing same....

 

Speciale

Porsche = boring, looks like a beetle with some extra ducts and wings
Performante = will continue to depreciate like crazy. There are too many of them

 

Speciale if you are worried about depreciation. Huracan perf if you want something different but won't mind losing more money

 

16M?

 

Why isnt a 488 on the list? I wentbthru same thing traded 458 for an Amg gtr..but already have 570(lacks sound as mentioned above) hv gt3 which I love but complete drivers car..perf awesome agree the regular Huracan doesn’t do it for me..I would look at 488 or aventador lol

 

I wasn’t happy going Italia to Speciale.
Speciale to 458 Spider I enjoyed much better.
Enjoying Perf Spider now.
A 720 spider with serious exhaust upgrades perhaps.
No to 488.
Aventador is cool if you can live with that transmission.
Gt3 I haven’t owned. Not in same league but nice track car.

458 is hard to replace.

 

Agree.

 

Sadly my finances do not allow for a Pista let alone a Speciale and a Pista haha, maybe by the time I turn 30 I can keep 2 ponies in the stable! Gorgeous spec on that Speciale, exactly what I'd get myself


do not be disappointed a Speciale is exceptional

 

Speciale.

Mclaren is dull. V10 lambo's are a bit...meh. GT3RS is awesome but no match for the Speciale in how special it is/makes you feel. Porsche I'd have if you spend half your time (seriously) at the track.

 

it's only a matter of time. They are already in the 170s, 160 prob at trade. Flippers are unloading the .2GT3 at 180s so that kinda hurt the .1RS values..and there's so many of them for sale

 

1. Performante still has margin to lose in 2019 so 10-15% in year is definitely in play.
2. 458 Spec are another class of expensive and thereby harder to get in and out of without an upgrade trade. Total dollar depreciation probably the least.
3. .1 RS will bottom out at $160K or so. It's a lot of car for the money. Can be bought for $175K easy now for low mile cars.
4. 570S spiders still have a dip coming. 458s are stiffening up in price. I have been shopping with low offers and losing out on cars.

I always use autotrader or cars.com total listings as a guide. Lots of cars, lots of options.

675LTs seem like a really good price now. should be bottom.

 

I dont see 488 Spider on your list. Any reason?
Just received my 488 Spider, and it is one of the best car in my opinion.

Fun, easy to drive, looks great and aggressive, sound is amazing (once you open the valve permanently).

You can enjoy the sound even if you dont open the hardtop by simply lowering the rear window. only couple of inches from your ear to the Ferrari Music

Porsche is so boring.

Mclaren looks sexy but i did not enjoy the test drive much. 458 is much better than this one IMO.

Huracane Perf. Never tried it before so cannot comment on this one.

 

What’s a .1RS, ie what years?

 

488 til your 30 then Pista or what’s next!

 

If there is one car that's going to absolutely tumble in value, it's the 488. I test drove one and while the interior and exterior are steps above the 458, the sound is lacking and the value proposition isn't there. How do you like your GT R?[/QUOTE]

Hmmm intersting...I do know of a 3k mile red 488 2018 that cld be bought for 240ish which seems crazy low and is at a Ferrari dealer...but i love sound too hence would hesitate on 488..will drive one this wknd..I actually do love the gtr..crazy fast and has a serious presence..it’s a very wide car...I do have a manual LP 550-2 I’m considering selling for either a perf/aventador/488(depends on test drive)
Funny I actually bought the gtr in Nebraska! Ha

Porsche GT3 RS. If you’ve never owned a 911 GT car, you will be ruined.

 

Thx.

These were the ones at $300k+ with dealers laughing at offers. I remember thinking great buy at $150k. Not there yet. Wonder when.

 

My Perf is for sale after owning it for a year. Great car and presence, great exhaust note (a bit artificial on downshifts), handling a bit numb, gear shifts imperceptibly fast.
Replaced it with the Speciale and I ain’t looking back. For me, direct steering, hence better feel, lighter handling, perfect balance, DCT still feel shifts (nice for me), F1 sound is epic (will do full IPE exhaust).
Speciale and Perf to me are near polar opposites. It really is what feel you are after.

Holy smoke you got a Gated manual LP550-2, I sold my last year and I miss it so much. There are only 59 of these in the States.

488 is certainly worth taking a look at low $200k range. It is a lot car for the money, pretty darn fast and comfortable. I like the sound with exhaust valves disabled. On your LP550-2, if it has stock exhaust, then you know how quiet it is below 2500rpm, 488 is like that. Disable the valve on both, increase the fun factor dramatically. If I were to replace my 488, it would be Performante or 600LT. Mainly because I daily drove 488 for over a year already and Performante and 600LT just looks a bit more special to me.

I do recommend Aventador as well. I always thought the ISR single clutch is slow and uncomfortable prior of driving one base on readings, so I never gave it a chance until my business partner picked up a SV and explained pro and con of the car. I then went and test drove S and thought the shift is so slow at lower rpm when driving normally compare to 488. Driving it fast, it shifts stupid fast and violent. The sound it makes needs no explanation. Want to cruise in comfort just lift throttle between each shift like you are driving a manual car. Then it is smooth as butter.

A few months later I test drove 16 Aventador (pre-S) out of curiously. I was really surprised by how much I liked the car, it was so hard for me to walk away without buying the car that day. Eventually I picked up SV and just love driving it.
