    ...has a Yellow 2017 488 Spyder that I like - the other car I thought I was buying did not work out. Anyway, if there is someone in that area who would not mind taking a look at it for me (cosmetically) please let me know. I have videos, etc. but if I get some eyes on it to decide if it is worth a trip down I would appreciate it.

    There is one other in Naples I am also considering so if by change someone from that area reads this let me know as well. Thanks.

    Why didn’t you just buy the blue one in Nashville?

    Long story short but the deal I thought we had did not turn out to be what I was told it was, and there is another supposed potential buyer that suddenly became known to me, which changed things.

    Hey Bob , Ferrari of Tampa still has my old 488 Spider for sale. I owned the car for 3 years and speced it new. The car never had a problem and was well maintained. I traded it 3 years ago and the last owner traded it for an F8. I think he only added 1500 miles or so.

    Thanks, I will see what they have again but I think I looked at their inventory already - I have a specific set of options/colors that I am looking for.

    Bob, its worth the wait. I know you from Rennlist (Rasputin is my name there). We both have/had GT4's. I got rid of mine for my 458 in February and couldn't be happier. I think if you make the switch to the 488 you will be very happy as well (however long it takes). It took me quite a few months to find my spec as well.

    Cheers

    Hey Ivan! I have a 718 Spyder now - love it but I want to try a 488 so the search goes on. I hope I can find someone in Miami to see the car there since that would be my choice over the car in Naples....love Yellow; however, it would be nice to get eyes on the Naples car as well.

    The wait will be worth it, however long it takes. Maybe expand the search country wide and just get a PPI done? That’s what I did in order to get my preferred spec. I got mine from down in your neck of the woods.

    You wont need a Softronic tune for these ;) (we had that conversation on Rennlist one time a couple years ago - so I only say it has a friendly joke). Oh, and you can still turn your headlights off hahah

    I have actually been looking nationwide...it just so happens that 2 of the 3 I like are in Florida. And I will hold off on a tune until I get used to the stock power - I already talked to Scott @ Softronic!

    Welcome or vice-versa! I had someone come over today to look at my 718 Spyder and I will miss it, but I am ready for a change after owning it for 3 years.

    I guess I'll chime in as another rennlister/GT3/3RS owner -> Ferraris, haven't looked back :)

    Best of luck in your hunt, enjoy it! Almost as fun as driving the car!

    Wish I had some of these back that I owned at one time: 73 - 914, 75 - 911S, 79 - 911 SC, 79 - 930 Turbo, 89 - 930 Turbo, 2019 - 991.2 GT3 RS. Let's face it, most of us here have a laundry list of cars from the past we wished we had kept. But as the saying goes; you can't keep 'em all.

    I found someone to check out the car in Naples next week so I just need someone to see the car at The Collection near Miami - get back to me if so!

    I'd be happy to take a look at it but I'm in Italy (did the factory today) until the 10th. Hopefully I don't have to travel to the RNC until the 12th if that holds I'll head down to Miami on the 11th if that works.

    Thank you for the offer but I have someone else going to see the car this week - I will let everyone know how it looked.
