    Does anyone know how to get window sticker using the VIN?

    Also how important is the NAV & back up camera as this car does NOT have either.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated


    VIN# ZFF68NHA1DO195028

    General consensus is that reprints of the window sticker cannot be done but if you are lucky a dealer might print you off an unpriced original spec list from their MODIS

    You can contact Ferrari North America and get the amount for msrp. Dealer can print option list from modis for newer ferraris. Reprints are almost impossible.

    Yep, FNA will no longer print window stickers. Getting the options list from the dealer is the next best thing.

    To address your second question - Only you can determine if NAV and back-up camera are important. My '13 458 Spider has both although the back-up camera gets used way more than the NAV. BTW - I thought navigation was standard? Could be wrong.

    Nav was standard on my 2018 488 (in the U.S.), but I've never used it. The backup camera is of limited value but a nice feature for parallel parking. My 2013 458 had neither and I was somewhat OK with it.

    Any Ferrari dealer can print off the option list (no prices) with just a VIN.


    Then go to autobytel.com -> 458 page -> Build Yours. Then select all the options on the website that match to your options list. You should end up with a very accurate MSRP.

    It’s really great, my somewhat secret shopping assistant!

    If you are speaking of a 458/488 , I personally wouldn’t buy a car without a back up camera. But for many others that wouldn’t be a deal breaker. Navigation, who needs it with smartphones , which in my opinion work better than Ferrari navigation. Best , Kirk.

    I cannot seem to figure this out. It'll only let me configure a 488. What am I missing? Is there a direct link to the page?

    NAV isn't important with all the smart phones out there, they function quicker than any factory NAV. Back-up camera is personal preference. I need either camera OR sensors when looking for my 458. Ended up with sensors only and i've been just fine without the camera.

    The original post was from 2 years ago, so it may no longer be a pressing question.

    For anyone who comes along later, I will add that the backup camera on the 458 was super helpful to have. On the 488, I found it a lot less effective because it is mounted way too low to the ground.
