    Wonder if anyone here knows this car? I live in IL, Car is in West Palm.
    They are asking $259,800
    MILEAGE: 17,001.

    https://www.marinoperformancemotors.com/2018-ferrari-488-spider-c-14763.htm

    Good options
    Daytona Style Seats
    Suspension Lifter
    Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel With LED
    Carbon Fiber Center Console and Bridge
    Red Brake Calipers

    I really like it. Also is a standard PPI at Ferrari of Palm Beach $1500? that is what I was quoted when I called there earlier today.
    Thanks for any help.

    Sending it for a PPI at Ferrari Palm Beach today and we will see if it needs anything to be CPO. Is $1500 usual for PPI?

    Looks like minor stuff

    I have attached some photos and video clips of our findings.

    The car looks good overall and is free of any electrical faults, mechanical issues or leaks. Tires look new and are date coded middle of 2022. Brakes are all ok.

    There are a few things to mention….mostly cosmetic.
    The center console is missing some hardware….easy fix

    Interior black surfaces need to be refinished as they are getting sticky…$4,000.00

    RF rim is slightly bent…$250.00 to repair
    Alignment recommended due to bent rim…$550.00

    Recommend new battery due to incorrect style in car (battery is ok however)… $990.00

    Car is due for service (dash shows due in 23 days)… Full service is $2,990.00

    Engine lid supports need to be replaced…$650.00

    Clear bra is peeling on some edges but just needs to be trimmed. Otherwise in good condition.

    Brake calipers have been painted. They are not factory powder coated.

    Side skirts have been wrapped with carbon-look material. They are not carbon fiber

    There are some normal wear scrapes on the underbody front and rear.

    Well the service should be free w the 7 year maintenance program. Sounds like a 5000 haircut to the dealer and away you go. Good luck.

    Service is covered under 7 year service contracts. They agreed to do the stickies and the wheel alignment and the struts.
    Battery is on me. It currently has an optima red top and Ferrari dealership says it is not factory

    …. And you don’t ‘trim’ PPF— no way to do that without cutting into paint, even if slightly and that is not what is done to do it correctly— remove the whole piece and reapply… trimming it will just leave area exposed and won’t stick and will continue to peel up and collect dirt.

    You can do the engine lid struts yourself, its literally a 2min job, and they are only $100 or similar a pair

    Edited to add.. ah just saw they are going to throw those in
