    My 5th 458 variant, and 3rd Spider. If I ever try to sell this one, please stop me.

    2013, carbon race seats, 8k miles, CPO 2 years.

    Debated adding another Pista, Performante Spider, 765LT Spider, or new Vette, 750S, Ceilo20, used F12, or 296 GTS. Only real consideration was for the F12 and 296 but this spec 458 came up that I couldn’t pass on. Will come back to a 296 at some point since they are well loved and depreciating nicely.

    Been a while since I’ve owned a 458, hope the magic is still there…

    I remember walking the floor at E3 (the large video games expo) in Los Angeles, must have been 2010, and coming across the first 458 I had ever seen in person. I hadn’t liked the car in photos/mags but there she was in Rosso Corsa and I was stunned. Couldnt look away, and instantly in love with the lines. Somehow racy, powerful, yet achingly classic all in one design. Here I am again, all these years later, back to the 458 and all giddy….

    Looks great.would love more photos. I just sold my Tributo and picked up a delivery miles f8 spider that was nearly the exact same spec as my 458 that I missed so much. Congrats and enjoy

    Kinda how I netted out also. Only a few things higher on the list but timing or market not right: F50, Aventador SVJ Roadster, AM Valk Spyder

    That's exactly what I was going to ask. I finally got a call back from them saying that it had been sold. Glad the wrap was removed if so.

    I had to say no to this though I flew there and did a test drive. The wheels need to be refinished. The tires all have different date codes. The AC control will need some sticky fix. Looks good without the crap wrap it had. Let me know if you want the remote key based roof operation mod, I have one from my spider for sale.

    Glad your back! Big congrats! Have you seen Ferrari approved 458 spiders prices for sale? some are back to 300+, this is probably because 458 speciale's have gone crazy yeah?

    Lol, i love how you imply they are only "asking" prices. I know several coupes that have traded hands in the last 2 months in the high 7's and low 800s. is it insane? yes. but its not just asking prices.
