    Still worth more than any type of 355 though.

    Resurrecting this post 16 months on and i'm very much in a position to pull the trigger on the right one now.
    Pricing looks like it has certainly dropped a bit and more stock on the internet.

    Besides Km and options list - what is every ones opinion on the following look from a re-sale point of view (while i'm buying the car for me, i don't want to be in a position that its hard to sell in the future because of the spec)
    Rossa Corsa Exterior with black roof
    Black rims
    Full Nero interior Or preferred with bottom half of dash/door inserts in red Alcantara

    Also im set on the GTB as i dont want to deal with a roof that could fail, but is there any pros of going with the Spyder?

    I clicked on this thread as the title interested me as a new 488 owner and lo and behold, I saw pictures of my car. I’m the new owner of the yellow 488 spider that @Arvin Grajau posted photos of previously. I’ve owned it for a few months now.
    Good luck with your search. You won’t be disappointed whichever one you get.

    Thank you. I’ve been told that numerous times by those that know its history. Its condition certainly reflect this. If you’re able to, please pass on that it’s in good hands and will continue to be looked after well. I believe I’m only one suburb away so he may even see it around. :)

    I thought so, I’m in Strathmore, one suburb north. I’m quite fond of Porsches too.

    I figured he is. I don't know him personally but my research on the previous owner of my car led me to that conclusion.
