    Well after searching for quite a while I found a car in the colours and options I liked.

    My 430 spider is a 3 pedal car and with the way prices have been climbing I figured I better quit driving it everywhere before it gets to many miles on it....

    As the heading said it only has 1250km on it and the warranty expires this coming July so wondering what issues current Portofino owners have had and if I should be looking at putting a 2 year CPO warranty on it? I and told here in Canada it will cost me about 15K.

    Refreshing the Warranty should be cheaper than that? If you let it expire it probably costs that much. Worth double checking with a dealer. Drop some pictures!

    Stunning! Is that the Portofino at Motion Endeavours? Richard and Nick are great to deal with. Bought an R8 from them a year or so ago.

    Yes, that's the one. Have you seen it in person, I've only seen pictures!

    I like a lighter coloured interior and blue and Sabbia is a combination that I used when I ordered my 430. But with the way prices are going on the stick shift cars I can't afford to use it for my 5k trips anymore so I bought the Portofino for the road trips the wife and I like to take.

    I’ve not seen that specific car in person but I recently saw an F8 in Grigio Alloy and I think you’ll be blown away by the colour. I certainly was. It’s like liquid, the it enhances the lines of the car. Love the lighter interior too, they had/have a 488 Spider in a similar spec.

    That's a beautiful F8!
    Around here the majority are still Red, was looking at ordering a Portofino M but was afraid it wouldn't show up until after Trudeau's "screw the rich people tax" came into effect!
    I've always liked Grigio Alloy, considered it for the 430 but decided to go with the TDF.

    Congrats on the purchase :)

    This is my old vehicle. Loved the car, just didn't drive it enough and had to make room.

    Brett , I just added a Porto and I’m using it as my daily driver. I’m very pleased with the car so far as it’s been about two months. The engine sound is fantastic even though it’s totally stock. I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the drive as well as the performance. I’ve said this many times but it sounds better than my F8 by a long shot. Enjoy your new rig. Best , Kirk.

    Thank you for your input Kirk, I'm looking forward to driving it, not quite a daily driver for me, but the wife and I like to take our cars for road trips so it will get used!

    We ordered the 430 with the factory luggage for that reason and the average trip in it was at least 3000 miles, but with the way the values of 3 pedal cars have gone up I needed something I wasn't about putting the miles on. Before the 430 we used to do the same in our 328 and could go back to that but we're getting older and really wanted something more modern.
