Thoughts on this (spec & colour)?

As title really - personally I think the colour suits the 488 but love others' opinions on this and the car's spec.

WOW ! ,agree sabia sports seats would look better but black is neutral, and maybe these seats would be more comfortable on a long trip, is there a lack of carbon ,which i think is overrated anyway, colour is off the chart wish they did the 430 's in this colour, maybe i can feel a wrap coming on, looks great value for moneyAs title really - personally I think the colour suits the 488 but love others' opinions on this and the car's spec.

Agree re: seats - think the racing looks far better. Am tempted to go and see it to see if it looks as good in the flesh
Seat looks aside, how do you intend to drive it (town/fast road/track)?Standard seats are pretty flat, so depending on your size, you may slide around on leather.
Even though I have the racing seats on mine, I found the standard seats very comfortable.... looks like these may only be partially electric though and hence would not have the fully inflatable sides and heating. If buying to keep for a long time and not bothered about resale I agree it looks decent. However, the spec is quite minimal... sounds crazy to say that when options seem to add up to c£15k; but this would have likely come in at c£200k new in 2017. If you ever sell then, to ‘the market’ it’s always going to be a poverty spec 488 in flat grey and you will well and truly have your pants taken down on bids to reflect this.

^^^^^ this - in spades. If you like it, buy it. It’s your car, not anyone else’s.
And maybe when you come to sell, someone upgrading from an Audi RS (a lot seem to be battleship grey too) will bid you top dollar for it. Fashion can be fickle and tastes change.

Love it, nice and discreet (as a 488 can be!)
These things are cheap now... going to go below 458 levels?
A similar spec 458 would be below this as this particular 488 is quite a basic specification, a similar 458 would be listed around 125k no doubt.These things are cheap now... going to go below 458 levels?
But yes some of the nicer examples of 458 with low mileage are being listed at quite high prices, as to whether they are selling is another thing, but I think for use as time goes on the 458 will be remembered and sought after a lot more than a 488, the 458 is simply more special.
