Thoughts on modded Speciale?

Have seen that white Speciale in person, it is very nice! If you like white and leather for the interior I would give it strong consideration. Yes it's near the top of the price scale for coupes but even lower specced Speciales are in the upper $300K range so for some the options may be worth a little extra....

Good luck!

 

Thanks Bobby! Are you in the Atlanta area? I agree with your analysis above....I'm open to offers as well

I have the car you want...I sent you a private email....maybe we can do a threesome with Devine 458....LOL !!!

 

plastique999;144871230]Devine,
Your car is immaculate and a superbly spec'd car.
I actually called Ferrari Atlanta about your car, didn't know but is it on consignment?

HAHA Lets do it! ... Better be careful how we word things people may get the wrong idea LOL

 

I have been looking for something similar for a year. Lowest spec i saw was 345k

 

I guess nobody really can say where Speciale prices will go over the long term, but it's such a special Ferrari (probably last NA engine) and such an exciting driving experience (hair on the back of your neck stands up a lot) that it doesn't really matter to me because it's a keeper. You'll see for yourself when you find yours

BTW, I know there's a lot of discussion about exhaust sound in other threads, but I want to mention that I personally was not satisfied with the sound of my Speciale. It was okay, but not nearly as good as my Stradales. There are lots of solutions. If you haven't already read this thread, then take a look. I got a lot of insights from what Chrixxx posted. I ended up replacing my OEM cats with Capristo 200 cell cats, and it made a big difference.

100% agree, I am in the market, lots to be had, but way over priced, will following similar curve to CS and Scud - I would expect sticker or below in 12 months or so

 

Sticker or below sticker would be nice, but feels 2-3 years from now if ever...

 

2-3 years of ear to ear grins and basically giggling a$$ fun is well worth the premium.

As Melvoc says YOLO and I'll add you never know when your health will lock you out of being able. Live now, live free, have fun in the moment. You may never get another chance especially if you can and have found what floats your boat!

Best,
F

 

This is the best looking Speciale on the market IMHO and if Atlanta Protective Films did the paint protection, its arguably one of the the best PPF applications in the country

 

Congrats, Devine. New owner got a beautiful car. FofA sells some of the best spec'd examples in the country.

That is the right attitude to take. Forget about the money and enjoy your car. For the record though, the last NA V8 introduced (to date) was the Aperta. And if I remember correctly the V8 line was producing Italias, Specials and Apertas at the same time. So the last really produced could be any. Sadly, I predict the Special will drop rather quickly once we start seeing it move just like all non-LEs. Doesn't matter to those that really wanted the car in the first place.

 

I counted 13 Speciales of various colors on Saturday alone and I was only around the carmel valley / casa ferrari...I have to agree w an earlier post, to wait and find the right one at the right price, there will be many to be had and perhaps the prices will be more favorable in light of supply.

Here's a 360º pic at Casa Ferrari, there were 3 Apertas out while we were outside admiring all the red

That GTO though...mmmmm

That modded one in your original post is a local bay area car. It was pretty much never driven, just stored at GTAutoconcepts in Redwood City for better part of the past year. I once left a note "drive me" in the layers of dust that had piled up on the car...so you will literally be buying a "barn find" on a 2-yr old car

 

That white Speciale at Ferrari Scottsdale was beautiful!

They do have a red one as well. 2015 Used Ferrari 458 Speciale at Penske Automall, AZ, IID 15133341

 

Thank you Ian...I actually saw both your Speciale and F12 at FOA and WOW!! ..They both are magnificent!! Love the Rosso Coburn Speciale!

 

Devine please keep your Spec it is too special to sell in that colour you won't ever get another one like it.

 

I think he did (keep it).

 

It's a 360° Theta S camera, it also does 1080p 360° video but I haven't quite figured out how to share the videos where they don't look like Picasso paintings it's the thickness of an iPhone but only 1/4 the height, slips right into your pocket.

I was also at concorso! Then went back to casa again
