    I took the plunge and acquired a 2016 488 GTB a few weeks ago. ~4500 miles, very clean, CPO inspection, and warranty. Never owned a Ferrari before, but am really enjoying the ownership experience so far. Never owned a mid-engine vehicle before either, so I'm loving all the sights and sounds coming from the back. Best onlooker experience to date was a guy next to me in another vehicle who shouted "Momma Mia, that-a sure izza pretty!". Who am I to argue?

    Thanks @buddyg! I'm happy that the car looks to have been really well cared for, PPF installed and still in good shape, so the paint underneath looks spotless. Very happy!
