    So I have a gorgeous 2014 Corsa Red Ferrari California 30 with the handling speciale package and i'm trying to decide if I should sell it or not. I'm the second owner and have loved every minute of owning this gorgeous prancing horse. My wife and I are expecting our third child soon and I have to decide soon. Not sure what I should even ask for my beauty and was hoping you all would help me decide/ guide me. Thank you all in advance.

    Great looking car. Is the handling speciale package factory installed? Usually the side ducts and front grill are silver and the car would have the 20” wheels.

    PM sent. My car was also a March 2014 build and only a few VIN different from yours. I recently purchased it from Ferrari of San Francisco.

    So I asked the exact same question to my local F dealer before purchasing. They ran the Vin and all of the service history and confirmed that it did have the Handling Speciale package. They told me that these cars are custom ordered and can absolutely come with this package and body colored side vents/ grill if buyer chooses to. I was extremely hesitant to buy it until I actually saw the window sticker of my car state Handling Speciale. I gave out a sigh of relief .

    I recall reading somewhere that you could do the handling specials package with the bright trim delete.

    My '14 Cal 30 had the HS package with the bright trim delete. Looks better, IMHO...

    Not doubting the owner at all ... when you spec the car you can do anything you like if you don't mind paying for it ... but I wonder if the dealer or previous owner swapped the 20" rims for the 19" ones, because I assume the Speciale package would be set up for the forged 20s and those look like the stock 19" Cali rims. I'm looking for another one myself, so interested to see where this ends up being priced at.

    Keep it man! Pass it down to your kids and let them reenact the scenes from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. LOL

    P.S. Just make sure it's over insured lol

    I am not sure what you are asking OP. Do you want to know what to sell it for, seems like you could easily find a buyer on this forum. If you love the car so much and it is not a financial issue, than keep it. Kids are great, but dads deserve something too. Either way, congrats on the addition to your family.
