I'd say the value upside potential of a 458 is significantly better than the near-guaranteed annual depreciation of the other two cars. Maybe the Exige holds value well, I know nothing about their market so I can't really say but for me the most expensive cars I've had cost me the least and made me the most. Just need to do your research, get the right car for the right price, enjoy it for a while, then sell it for what you paid or more. Easy right? lol |

The Exige has proven to be an asset, not an expense, which is rare for a car. The M2, not so much, but the way I keep cars it'll cross that boundary at some point. With the same treatment I'm sure the 458 would be even better. |

if you love the 458 then get one. prices are still very fair for what is essentially a very reliable car. and its not like prices are going anywhere. like dgoldenz said there are many guys on fchat using them as a daily with 50, 70, or 100k miles on the clock.
my service was usually around $1000 a year at the indy shop. insurance is about 2500-3000/yr. although i love my gt3 and would not trade back (i need a manual in my weekend supercar)... there is something special about seeing the prancing horse and a plaque saying '31 f1 world titles' on the dash. you feel like you're part of something special every time you sit in it and smell that italian leather.

This low mileage 458 just sold for $314,500 with BAT fee for a car with $309k MSRP. Wild result, I would have guessed 260k or so
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...458-spider-23/ Feel pretty damn good about what I just paid for mine with two year CPO warranty given that kind of result |

Have you, anyone, driven a 328? Looks like such a fun little analog. Watched some videos and that thing is tiny...which I like. 6 2 wouldn't seem to be an issue with targa off.

Thanks. Info could come in handy. My antennas went up on 180k of work on a, supposed, 27k car. Reupholstered...really? Full leather seats and no alcantara. Odd, unless it was treated like a goat. New suspension? Spend 180 then take 130? Don't want him or her offering me investment advice. My basic research resulted in a somewhat bulletproof 3.2.

You only live once but chances are you'll live well into your 70s. Best be prepared to have a healthy net worth and only be spending a tiny fraction of what you bring in. I've got way too many friends that have all the toys and if they lost their well paying jobs, they'd are in serious financial trouble. Unfortunately, that's how most high earners live and then for some, it comes all crashing down.

I remember when they did one of these on Wheeler Dealers. The fat little goof is driving it back, saying how ridiculous and "American" this giant truck is, then every few seconds stabbing the accelerator and giggling like a little girl as he was smashed into the back of the seat.

More about the scenery than my dirty old whip but here it is in West Orange NJ overlooking Manhattan in the distance.

Welcome to the scuderia! Congrats, she looks awesome, I know you were looking a long time for the right spec and shes a beauty.
Are you gonna wrap the roof black? I think it gives the 458 a perfect look. I just wish they kept the engine bay open so you can see those awesome testa Rossas, this is the ultimate na V8, enjoy! |
