    I have used my 16M for about two and a half years now and love the car. Unfortunately I have had a few technical issues with the car, but luckily my dealer was able to sort those issues out. I am very tempted to trade in my 16M for the new 458 Spider, but I am not sure if thats a good idea or not. If I do go ahead, what resale value should I expect from the 16M (about 5500KM only)? Knowing myself, I will only keep the car for 2-3 years...

    Question likely depends on several factors.

    Where are you located? Colour, specs?

    Thats a great color combo. I'd personally keep it and add the 458 Spider if possible. The new Spider will be much more comfortable of a car then the 16M which is harsh by comparison to the Italia. Plus you can still see the engine on the 16M. Wonder when Ferrari will offer a see thru cover for their new Spider?

    I wouldn't think they are going to. You can only see about 4 inches of the actual engine. The rest is intake. That said I wouldnt be surprised I an aftermarket company offered one.

    i think i love my scud more than my 458, if i had a 16M i would only change to a spider because it has a hardtop.
    i think with years of use the soft top gets creases and look nasty, but if i never close it i think thats fine.
    depends if u like raw or refined.

    I have decided to keep the 16M being limited car. I have also placed an order for the new 599 replacement instead. Might be going for a private viewing of the car in February before the release in Geneva.

    A yellow 16M has been sitting at the dealer here in Canada with about 2k KM for ages. Also on hand is a yellow 599 that has been on hand for even longer.
    Color popularity depends on the market location. Several red 16M have sold though...

    I would imagine you would have to trade in the 16M and hand the dealer another $60,000 to bring the 458 Spider home.
