    Looking to upgrade from my 360 Spider. Originally was considering a 458 Coupe as my budget was around $100-125k plus my trade-in. However, I really think will miss top down Ferrari experience. Consequently, I am now considering the 458 Spider. Prices seem to be dropping and there are now a couple on the market with very attractive prices (close enough to my budget) but higher mileage. It would not be used as a daily driver. I likely would put about 2-3k on a year and plan to keep it at least 5 years or longer before possibly upgrading again. Do you think the lower cost and negotiating power on a 'higher' mileage Spider like these would be a better value/option in the long run?

    Would love to hear your thoughts and any feedback you might have.

    Thanks in advance.

    I would go for the red one. Looks really sharp at a great price!!! I just recently bought 2013 458 Spider, 3K mile for $270K. Really well optioned. Good luck! I bought it through a broker and save a lot of money. Let me know if you're interested in having my broker help purchase this car for you. He can save you a lot of money. Shoot me an email at [email protected] if you're interested on my buying experience recently.

    That's a lot of miles on the red one. The silver one is a challenging color combo. I'd keep shopping.
