    Looking to buy a 488 GTB. Open to different colors and options if it's the correct car. I want one in immaculate condition with low miles. Ideally would want LED wheel, racing seats, Shields, lifter, HiFi stereo. However, the most important thing for me would be that it is well maintained and loved, and the less owners the better (1 owner is ideal!).
    For now, I'm not interested in travelling, so I would like one close enough for me to drive to, inspect, and complete the transaction in person. I'm thinking within approx. 150 - 200 miles of Long Island, NY
    Thanks!

    At this point, I think I am willing to travel (for the right car). If anyone is considering selling, please let me know.

    I almost bought a car last week from a Ferrari dealership (not local). I called the day a consignment car hit the ground, did all the photo inspections, and looked through the service records etc. I made an offer that they accepted. There was one minor issue with the 2 year warranty that I asked for, so the salesman had to call me the next day. Well, by the time he called me to sort it out, supposedly another salesperson took a deposit on the car! :mad:

    If you are interested in a 488 spider , my old car is for sale at F Tampa . It has I believe 14K miles now. It is as just traded and the previous owner who had the car 2 years and added 1500 miles. I never had any issues with the car in my 3 years of ownership. It’s Nero Daytona and nicely specked.

    Thanks for the heads up!
    However, I'm not interested in a spider at this time.

    Is the suspension stock? Do you have all the OEM parts that were removed?

    Oh ok thanks. In that case, it is probably not the car for me, as I am looking for a car that is stock. But good luck with the IVF, I hope everything works out for you and the family!

    Thank you! Yes they are red daytonas with black inserts.
    I wasn't sure about the red when I bought it (sight unseen), because the pictures didn't do it justice. However, when it arrived I was pleasantly surprised and starting to really love the interior (has a good amount of black to break up the red). Even my wife, who typically hates red interiors, says she loves it on my car!

    HI kandi. It’s Adam. Can you email me the original pics of the S line system I got off you. Can’t find them or figure out how to message you here.

    This isn't Kandi. You have the wrong person. This is up4speed, and my name is Chris, and I've been on Fchat for 12 years with the same name.
    I never owned a S-line system. Sorry
