    Last Saturday I traded in my 2007 F430 Coupe I bought in May, 2013 for a 2012 458 Italia. It is a one owner CPO car with 3k miles, Scuderia red with tan interior. I bought it from Continental Autosports in Hinsdale, IL

    I enjoyed my F430 but after two enjoyable driving seasons I decided to upgrade to a 458. It is an awesome car!

    Thanks to all on the 458 forum that took the time to answer my questions and provide me with good advice as I was evaluating cars.

    Attached are several pics.

    Great combo the Rosso Scuderia and the tan interior with the optional race seats. I like the original style optional 5 spoke wheels. Way to GO!
