    Congratulations to William. Another testament underscoring that Ferraris can be enjoyed beyond just part time cars.

    Like jcoles higher up in the thread, I have always been a 911 owner (since 1983), and currently have a GT3 Touring, the best Porsche I have owned. After being unsuccessful at getting a Speedster allocation as well as disappointed, I realized that price point opened up a lot of options. After researching numerous options for over a year, last week, I made the plunge and took delivery of a 1700 mile 2015 458 Spider. It has added a facet to car enjoyment that no Porsche could. I am looking forward to engaging in this forum and contributing to the Ferrari community.

    I applaud this OP!! It's not just the cost and depreciation fear, but also the anxiety of driving our beautiful machines amidst jealous or spiteful souls who see our cars (and us) as shameless displays of wealth. So I've found trucks parked within inches from my door even when I parked at a distance or experienced jerks who deliberately drive on a shoulder ahead of me to kick up rocks. Maybe it's just me? This is why my long drives only involve Club or motor sport events where I'm in the comfort of like-minded folks.

    Bravo again OP! Saluti!

    In the Ferrari world, dealer extra mark-up is a big no-no! Dealers are dealt harshly by the factory if a complaint is made. Porsche's business model encourages dealers who build new facilities to in fact charge what the traffic will bear for limited production cars as a way to enhance profitability. Those dealers get the extra allocations.

    Agree. Your should EASILY be able to get an allocation of you want one. They are begging folks in my area to take allocations. I am a big Porsche fan but am disappointed the new GT3 is going to lose some of its classy looks. Kind of like the 458 vs 488 looks wise.

    Complimenti William.
    My 550 in Italy is approaching 100k and Ferrari in Modena says they have customers’ cars with 200,000 km and no issues! Here I put snowshoes on the tdf.

    Ferrariisti, Bravo to William and his 100,000 Miles 458. Here in Australia there seems to be a Badge of Honor in not driving your Ferrari far or often. So, accordingly, many are garage queens and subject to the Maintenance "Bug" that afflicts almost any car that is not driven as it was designed to do. What happens? Maintenance costs go through the roof. Typical 430 F1 clutch,replace at 25,000 kms. Or F360 Belts,every two years whether it needs it or not.
    It pays to use your Ferrari often. I frequently work in Germany where a guy living in Frankfurt has over 250,000km on his beloved F40,and it looks new. He can get to Cologne in under 1 hour 20 mins. It is over 200 Miles.

    Ferrari can't and will not charge any markups on new production vehicles. They sell MSRP. They can and will on any preowned.

    Congrats William !

    Which year is your 458 ? Did you encounter any bad problems aside from maybe tyres and batteries ?

    I wonder what the value of a 100k mile 458 is in today’s market.

    a few years ago I recall a 100K+ 458 selling for around $100K. In today's market it's probably higher. It comes down to maintenance and service history and PPI really. Once the market starts to understand the reliability of the modern Ferrari then prices won't steeply decline so much.

    There was a 100k mile 458 about 9 months ago that sold for $135k when the 458 market was low across the board. My guess is probably $155-165k in today’s market.
