    Hey guys. Just picked up my 2011 458 Italia. One owner 1400 miles. The car is in "as new" condition. The plastic on the kick plates next to the pedals are still intact. I just had the entire front clip and side view mirrors done in XPEL film. I'm very excited as you can imagine. What a difference between this and my 430 I sold. Wow!
    Now I need to sit down and read all the manuals cover to cover :)

    Beautiful! How could someone barely drive that in 6 years?

    Thanks! I think the original owner has multiple Fcars in his stable. So maybe just not enough time for all of them.

    Thanks everyone. Other than to drive the heck out of it, I will be adding a Forza Componenti remote valve controller to it. I may add some CF to engine compartment and I wanted to complete the dash in CF but that seems like it might be more work than it's worth as I have no idea how those dash vents would come out.

    What's the psychiatric problem with someone who buys a Ferrari, drives it for only 1400 miles in 5 years and then sells it? Is there any mental illness behind?

    The illness is called "poser syndrome." Highly prevalent among high performance sports cars owners across various brands.
