Help me decide bw 458s and 488s

Answer on both Q's: yes !

 

I love the high optioned CF loaded 458 cars

 

2013 458 Italia (if NA interests you, coupe) or 2017 488 (if spyder, turbo interests you).

 

Thought you were buying a Mclaren 720s? https://www.mclarenlife.com/threads/first-exotic-720s-what-to-look-for-in-buying.113830/#post-1907456

Seriously, it all depends on what you're looking for - NA vs turbo power, spider open top vs berlinetta stiffness. All cars being used, and all widely available, I do not think there will be any noticeable difference in depreciation; if some cars will be more sought after they are already priced more.
Personally I prefer a 488 GTB, but again it's purely personal.

 

I just did. You got all defensive and said the 720s was still in the running. You then posted a wanted to buy post for a 720s. Now you are trying to decide between a 458 and 488. So which is it?

 

Do you mind sharing the link to the 4 cars?
2 years ago, just about every car were selling a lot higher.
Go back 4 years ago

 

Still haven’t answered the question. Did you abandoned the 720s and now focused in on the 458/488? It’s funny as I own both brands (as do many others on here) and have had all of the cars you are looking at and can give some good input. However if you are just trolling each board than why waste time?

 

You're the idiot because we don't allow personal attacks here. 3 day ban.

 

I know you are new, but calling another forum commenter an "idiot" can get you a ban.

I've never crowdsourced my buying decisions on cars. At the end of the day, its a personal decision. A car should never be bought for investment reasons but for personal tastes.

 

Scratching my head on that logic. You joined here on 3/17/24 and were deciding on your first supercar and were looking at 458 or 720s.

joined mclarenlife on 3/24/24 and narrowed options down to 2 different 720s.

posted on mclarenlife on 3/31/24 in the wanted to buy section.

posted today about choosing between a 458 vs 488.

It appears you are all over the place, which is perfectly fine. Most of us go thru that and are on the fence on what to buy. I simply asked you to clarify which car you were looking at as it helps people know if you are serious or just trolling.

There are a lot of new users on both forums that join, asked questions to troll and are never seen again.

Btw, for what it is worth both 720s and 488 are both great cars. Very different and pros/cons to each. I’d recommend to get some good seat time and make the decision yourself. 720s is futuristic and mind blowingly fast but doesn’t have the prestige and history of Ferrari. Also less problems with the 488 than a 720s. Just my .02 which may be of no value to you.

Honestly, newbies like this who go from 0-100 this quickly should go straight to perma-ban status.

I have the same general decision pending (F8 vs 720s….maybe), this mistake here is asking for a critique of particular cars before the brand/model decision is made. That is just asking people to waste their time and we appreciate Mr Kraft pointing that out.

 

sure np, glad to help. Pm me when you get unbanned. I was in the same boat in March 2021. Seems like, I think, you already know the answer and just in denial perhaps lol.

kitty kats on the moon....meowwww

 

Sheesh…..a guy isn’t aloud to change his mind on a car and not get hounded for it ??
I’ve done it a million times…..I bet a lot of us have.

 

May want to reread the post. Not sure that anyone hounded him for changing his mind. I even pointed out in my post above that most of us do that exact thing. Issue was joining on here and saying you can’t decide between multiple brands but ended up wanting by a Ferrari and at the same time joining another forum and saying the same thing but that you ended up wanting a mclaren. I simply asked which one it was so we could give advise and make sure it wasn’t a new user just trolling.(which happens a lot).
