$250K is probably on the money for the retail price for a 2013 458 Spider. The wholesale is not much lower than that so it's not like you'll find one for $200K. If your budget is $175K then best option is a clean, low-mileage F430 Spider. Then, in a few years wait for mother time to bring those 458 Spider prices down... Good luck.

Are you talking about this 458 on Ebay now? As the seller quotes: I purchased this Ferrari Spider with extremely minor damage to the front bumper, and rear bumper. Replaced the right side radiator w/ cage with a brand new Ferrari radiator. Receipts for all parts and work done. Absolutely no frame or suspension damage. Alignment was checked and it was perfect. Obviously a bit more then then "extremely minor" damage. The passenger side rear is hit too Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
"Extremely minor damage". I know english isn't my mother tongue, but what then may be considered "heavy damage"? By "extremely minor damage" I would've thought this car had cosmetic bumper damage from going over a kerb, sidewalk, gutter or ramp. Not a wall. As with relationships, it all depends on what you're looking for: - If you want to buy a 458 to keep indefinately because it's the last NA V8, the last Pininfarina, etc as a Ferrari collector, you would want an accident free car with bulletproof background provided by an official Ferrari dealer from day 1. This doesn't quite cut it. - If you like to flip cars and/or are extremely worried about resale, this also isn't it. - If you couldn't possibly care less about any of the above, want to have a discount 458 and/or have a budget to obey to at present, why not? I personally wouldn't, because I bought my 458 wanting to keep it forever for its role in the brand's history and I want my car to be completely original, accident-free, mint and with all history with the official Ferrari dealer. But I completely understand someone jumping into a deal like this, even though I would strongly favor a car with high mileage and no accidents, over a car with an accident regardless of mileage. Kind regards, Nuno.
Wow..I was just looking at that one also. There is another black one with rebuilt title. When I saw pricing this low on a few of them........ Must make sure read the fine print!
The 430 has already gone through its major depreciation curve while the 458 spider has more to come. The prices on the 458 spider should come down further during the winter and as more 488 spiders are delivered. January 2017 would be a good time to check back in at the prices. To the OP, my first thought on this high mileage 458 was a commercial track car which is an opportunity for every driver to beat the car, every lap, each and every day. I'd pass unless they'll give you the car at $80 so you can have the engine rebuilt and have a close look at the drivetrain. If not, look at some 10-12 Italia with 20k + miles that should might be $180ish or 458 spiders around $230. I'd stay away from this one.
Excellent perspective...that's what I'm seeing on the low end of the price spectrum... Image Unavailable, Please Login
If it has a salvage title, that is a 30% drop in price? And the other worry, with a car with a salvage title, if it ever gets in a wreck again, no matter how minor, most insurance companies will automatically total the car, because of worries about liability, no knowing what caused the car to originally have a salvaged title.
... I am ok with high miles, looking for a 458 Spider yet still won't consider this. Any car registered commercially steals the soul of it IMO
it's for sale again....now at $159k. VIN # search on google led me to this thread...the advertisement won't list the miles...and now i know why!
The miles really don’t scare me , but the price is a bit astronomical. I had the chance to buy this car about 3 years ago. It has a full exhaust and tune . The owner stated at the time the trans shifted a bit hard but had another on hand new oem. I could have purchased the car for around 100k then
Just the current market. When the market self corrects going to be a lot of hurt feelings of people who’ve bought exotics in the last 6 months to a year
Who knows , it won’t till the new car market goes back to normal productionS or we go into another recession
