Seen you’d posted on the McLaren thread, You not after a McLaren anymore then ? Or are you lucky enough to be buying both ?

I'm looking at both currently. For a 570s id for sure go for a spider variant but for 458 its got to be coupe.

Such examples are simply becoming harder to find and most now in the hands of collectors or long term keepers who don’t see an upgrade path within the brand. In my case, for example, barring any significant change in personal circumstances, I don’t see myself selling any time soon.

The car I bought had been on the market for an hour or so before I put a deposit on it. No plans to sell. It’s pretty much the most desirable spec Spider. I paid 150k for it on 15k miles….2013.

So I agree with you. I just don’t see similar spec cars bent sold now.

I did see this one, but it felt a bit off to me so im not entirely sure on its condition. Plus the exterior black sections wrapped not painted

Been out today in my 458 spider, what a car.

Get one. I felt very lucky to find a one owner car in a tasteful spec and in my favourite colour. Happy days

I’m conflicted as I’m really keen on a 720s but have been long hankering after a 488GTB and am at the point where I’m about to change from a 992 GTS to something. I’m looking at this car which I think looks stunning. Would slightly prefer carbon seats but otherwise I’m very happy. What’s everyone’s view of pricing? I see these cars trending down with general depreciation but no real point of inflection?

Its a nice spec for sure but its been listed on AT since November and has not moved in the mid 150 price. I agree with you that we should see 488 drop but how much is unknown currently. Both 458/488 listings have been increasing and there is a small visible price drop but nothing significant yet. It may take a few months before a good discount can be had
