    Hi Folks,
    With the recent sale of my 430 gated spider, i'm now moving on to a 458. I realize that at any given time, there are approximately 165 odd cars for sale online, I did want to post on here as well to see if i can get a few bites for off market cars.

    The thing i'm noticing with the 458s is that there are a significant number of colors combinations out there, it seems to be a much more customized car than the 430 or older Ferraris, which is good and bad I guess. Since there are so many choices, i'm getting a bit picky myself, hence this WTB.

    So here goes!

    • I’m in Houston, Texas, but am comfortable with buying a car nationwide.

    • 2010-2013 Model Years.
    • Miles up to 20k or so.
    • Budget will be adjusted per model year and miles.
    • No stories, no paintwork or body work, verified by paint meter.
    • Clean, clean interiors. Clean door sills, seat bolsters, center consoles, buttons, etc. (Recently saw a '10 that had sticky buttons, wth??)
    • Strong service history, with preventative maintenance.
    • OEM car without too many aftermarket things.

    As far as options are concerned-

    Must haves:

    - Race Seats! (Sadly, i'm 5'7" and 145lbs and just slosh around in both the regular and daytona seats, i'm having to brace myself with my left foot. No fun!)


    Cool to have options-
    • LED steering
    • Rear camera
    • Carbon fiber bits. Not a massive fan, but if the car has it, great, if not, that's fine too.

    Exterior colors in no particular order-
    • TDF
    • Grigio Silverstone
    • Nero
    • Rosso Mugelo
    • Rossa Corsa
    • Bianco

    • Interior Colors-
    • Cuoio- 've got the major hots for Cuoio Race seats, with contrasting stitching!
    • Nero
    • Beige

    Other interior considerations-
    Black Dashboard, unless its a cuoio, then i'm open.

    Ideal color combo interior would be a contrasting interior: Cuoio seats with black dash that has cuoio stitching.

    If you have a car, or know of someone considering selling, please feel free to PM me.

    I was in your shoes when burying mine, same weight and height and loving the carbon seats. The 458s are very customized as you have noticed. It's a solid car. Keep looking and girl m you'll find yours in time.
