From when I browsed them in the summer, that looks like pretty strong money - isn't it almost Spider territory?

I sold my 53 plate 11k Grigio Silverstone 458 back to the trade in May for 139.

Seems a few k over what I'd expect, this one.

Looks expensive.

[jtremlett]

I don't know it. It has been on sale at Carrs since early June. Always at the current price.

[PrancingHorses]

OK so in the summer this car came up on the Carrs website so I called up to arrange a viewing. At the time it was very keenly priced but since then 458s have dropped dramatically so this is now a VERY expensive car.

I drove up 2 hours to view it - I was never told during my discussions that this car was not an approved used Ferrari! It does not appear on the Ferrari approved used website and the reason for this was only made clear when I got there!

It is an accidental car. Not a Cad C D E F Z etc but the car has been involved in an accident and has been repaired. The damage was not major enough for it to be categorized and it was repaired at CARRS. It is an owners car for sale on SOR with them.

I was fuming this was not made clear to me before I made the trip up there (2 hours for me!)

Looks like a nice clean car with proper shut lines etc but as you can see it's not selling and I don't want that hassle when I need to sell it so I passed!

[LindsayMac]

Prancinghorses, thanks for your input, yes I knew it was heavy money but i was working on that to at least get some softening. The hunt continues, such a nice spec too. Low miles which gave me plenty of leeway to use the car.

Strange. It does appear on Ferrari Approved here: https://preowned.ferrari.com/en/en/search/2013/fer... and has done since the beginning of June. It also clearly has Ferrari Approved on the number plate in the photos.

[PrancingHorses]

That’s interesting as back then it did not qualify for the approve used scheme. It seems there may have been additional work carried out to bring it in line with the required criteria/standards so now does..not sure.

It definitely has been accident repaired though so if they now hide that fact (as it qualifies) then I would be inclined to request an independent inspection on the car to assess the repairs.

Either way though, with so much choice out there what’s the point!?

Agree it is a lovely spec car though!

That's the thing - is there much choice? There's a good number of cars out there but few with a decent spec. I'd say the current market is showing a number of low quality cars which I'm not sure represent the full price spread.

What would you do if you bought a car with higher mileage, not drive it?

[LindsayMac]

Strange comment, I am actively planning to avoid buying a higher mileage car, so I can drive it without mileage concern........not in my plan to have a 50k miles 458.

You are very correct, as soon as you want CF seats the numbers drop dramatically.

Option 2 is here below

[Taffy66]

When you compare a 458 with CF seats and all the other CF interior to another similar one without the CF seats you'll see the huge difference in values..A 458 without the CF seats is very tough to shift even when £15K less than another with them.

[Durzel]

I’m not so sure 11k mileage is great. It really depends on your anticipated usage. It is of course low mileage in the grand scheme of things, but it’s not garage queen mileage and it’s not “normal car mileage” like 20k+

If you put 10k on that car you’d be selling to a different “high mileage” market, imo.

How did you find out it was accident damaged out of interest?

It's winter - wait until Autumn and there will be much more choice. The F8 will appear, few will move from the 488 and then few from 458 to 488 etc...there will be a lot more choice come summer.

The sales guy told me when i fking got there!

[PrancingHorses]

What's interesting is that a fully loaded 458 with all the carbon bits is pretty close to the price of a Huracan Performante which is a much newer and better car IMHO!

Better only if you prefer a 4WD Lambo..Most people in my experience are either Lambo fans or Ferrari but seldom both..
