    I decided it's time to upgrade to a 458 Italia (not interested in spider) and I just started my hunt. I've searched all the available cars for sale at this time,and have not seen one that I wanted. I'm hoping that someone sees this and it's the push they need to make the decision to sell.
    I am looking for a 1 owner car that was meticulously maintained and has very low miles. I live on Long Island, NY, so if it's a drivable distance it's a huge plus, I'm not quite ready to start travelling all over the country yet.
    Car must be red with preferably black interior, but tan ok too, LED steering wheel is a must.
    Very nice to have options are: HiFi stereo, Cameras, Front end lift, racing seats, dark wheels, yellow calipers, and sport exhaust.
    If this sounds like a car that you own and are considering parting with, please let me know. I'm not in a rush, but really want to find that perfect car for me.
    Thanks!

    Damn Chris !
    Nice move. Good luck.
    I plan on doing the same just as soon as I sell my gated 430

    Hey Chris - Which red are you looking for? Plenty of cars out there without the racing seats. There are several Rossa Corsa's available that meet your criteria with CF seats (I don't think any Rosso Scuderias that would right now).

    Rosso Corsa, and Rosso Scuderia are fine.
    I looked at all advertised ones already. 2 very good possibilities were already sold.
    A 1 owner, VERY low mile car that presents as new is very hard to find.

    One of the things that made me decide to sell now, is that I had a guy pushing me to sell mine. Once the seed is planted, it’s all over!!

    if you get a 458 please keep it away from those jack handles!
    We all know how that story ended! haha
    Who ever buys your 360 is getting a great car. You are one of the most particular guys out there when it comes to your cars, like me
    Good luck

    Good luck on your quest! You won't be disappointed. Just one thought, and you might already know this, but if wheels and calipers can always be changed/ painted if need be, so I would advise don't pass up a car that is otherwise just what you want. The 458 is a great car!

    Yes I know, but those were specs that I was posting as “ideal”. They are definitely not deal breakers. The only deal breakers are non red, no LED wheel, or condition that doesn’t meet my expectation.
    Thanks!

    Good luck Chris! I am keeping my eyes peeled for you. Don't forget about the 2010-2011's as those cars may still have the original engine mapping that gives you that glorious over-run sound with the pops and crackles when coming off throttle that were lost in the 2012-2015's. And you know how mine sounds :)
    Just find the very best one you can that checks off all the boxes on your list and don't be concerned about the year. One will come along so just be patient.
    They are awesome cars and I will probably have mine for a very long time.

    Thanks guys!
    338Lapua, I saw that and emailed immediately, however it was sold already :(
    I was so upset because it really did sound like it was the perfect car for me. The owner sounded just as meticulous as me, he was super nice and gave me a lot of useful info, as well as pictures of the car. It was gorgeous.
    They sold a lot of 458's, I'm sure one will come along. I'm really hoping for a car that is within reasonable driving distance.

    Sounds gorgeous, but I was looking for red. I have had many sports cars in yellow in the past, and didn’t want this one in yellow.
    Thanks anyway. I’ll keep my eyes open and spread the word for you just in case someone in my local club is interested.

    When I bought my first Ferrari I always thought coming up with the money to buy it was hard..and it was..... but finding the perfect car sometimes is even harder. Don't settle.. you r perfect spec will come along.

    No way! Knowing Chris... it should be super, super super clean car. Literally all the miles on the car should be from driving it up and down the block and in a one out the garage in order to be qualified for a purchase.
