    So... I spoke to Ferrari of Atlanta about the service of this vehicle. They said they recommended a left sided fuel pump for 6k... the guy did not have it done there but did show me a receipt for fuel pump from a Ferrari shop that cost 1400. Should this be a deterrent? Why does a car with 12k miles need this?

    Am I missing something? I do not see any pics of the car. My guess is that the color combination with the nero top is probably making it harder to sell hence the lower price. Anyhow good luck with your search. I have a 2013 458 spider, and I love it!

    So I got bad news from Ron in Atlanta regarding the ppi. Highly recommend him, very detailed, got his name from this forum... anyway said quarter panel had been replaced and was not done very well probably to avoid Carfax. Also a lot of other issues including a tft screen that was unreliable. Since he knew this would be my First Ferrari he advised me to pass. Regardless I now looking for a red Ferrari 458 spider under 200k. The search continues. Thanks

    Great to hear feedback on this car. It came up in my search and I thought the price was low for the spec. Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you but glad to be reassured on the gut feeling! ;)

    Car might have been bought at auction by the seller if only one key. Could be a repo. Just get a thorough history on the car. If all checks out it’s a very reasonable price.

    I’m in atlanta as well and bought my 430 from FofATL. I was eyeing this car but then did a quick search of the company selling it on google maps to see where they were located. The huge amount of negative reviews told me all I needed to know about why this car was priced where it was. Nearly every bad review (and there were a ton) talked about clean carfax and cars breaking down 2 days after being purchased from this car dealer.

    Why the Turbo S? and what are the pros and cons, if any, so far for the car? Used as daily or part time? Thanks for your opinion in advance......

    Prior to buying a ‘13 White on Black, I saw one quite similar to the above one in Orlando, same mileage, one owner. If I wanted red on tan I would have jumped on it. Dealer (not Ferrari) was willing to go just a tad below 210, that was it. But gorgeous car.

    Sorry to hear you missed on that 458 but it sounds like you made the correct decision. Best of luck on the hunt. I am now in the agony of waiting for the snow to melt and the roads to clear of salt. My car should be coming end of next week or soon after.

    Pretty sick deal at 202k! Congratulations! I paid $220k for my 2016 FF just last year. Trying to find a nice 458 Spider Specimen to add to the stable. 488's just have too much depreciation left in them.

    The other option is the LP4-610 ... ;)

    Thanks jay. I too am worried about depreciation as I sold a 2001 diablo to make space for the ferrari. That being said I just fell for the 458 and don't really care where the price ends up. I know I sold an appreciating asset for a depreciating one but I barely drove the diablo and plan on driving the heck out of the 458. Plus i still have a gated manual Gallardo spyder. I will survive:)

    My last turbo porsche was a 930 ( so long time ago). It is going to be one of my 2 dd , more convenient than a 458.
    And by the way i was not that wrong saying this price was a steal ( if the car had no story) as all the one i checked( with msrp over 330k) were way over 200k.
