    I'm looking at the 458 on this site. http://tsautos.netne.net/listings.php?make=Ferrari&model=458-Italia&id=31

    It was linked off of yahoo autos. For 209 with a ton of options included it seems like a too good to be true deal even with 10k miles. They want 15k down to reserve it immediately since they claim a lot of interest. Normally I'd assume this was a scam and move on but I can't find anything bad on a google search about the dealer and they are offering to send me a copy of the title. Does anyone have any advice? If I lived near englewood, co I would just go see the vehicle to verify its existence.

    Thanks!

    Eric

    Owner may just have a need to get out from under the car as soon as possible.

    If you click on "seller info" on the page it lists a +44 area code which is the U.K.

    Very realistic price being a 10' and those miles. 458's will start to drop with the spider out now. This is by far the lowest 458 I have seen so it could have a story but certainly worth checking out, love the color!

    Good Luck

    This is a total scam. I bought this car 6 weeks ago here in Texas for a lot more $ than that. It had an original MSRP of $327,400.

    Realistic even with these options? I could maybe understand a low optioned 458 in the 240s.

    Wow, I would be highly upset if I were you! I would call this guy or turn him in for misrepresenting your car to the authorities. I HATE scammers, irritates the hell out of me...

    Its a scam, the price is "Too good to be true" Another member owns the car, not a legit listing

    It is my car and it is not for sale. I guess you can always put your $15k deposit down and see where that gets you.

    Well, he does seem to have several in stock. Maybe he needs to unload a few right away to pay the rent. The overhead on that place must be a killer :)
