Has any one looked at Nick Cartright black 458

[achaddy]

As title says, has anyone looked at it.

Has a good spec. Not my favoured colour though. Also have to convince the wife into it as my last 458 was bit of a disaster and cost me £££ and sanity.
She is not a fan of the colour and to be honest nor am i but spec is good.

Happy for any info

Don’t know the car but Nick Cartwright and his son are serious Ferrari experts and their cars are very thoroughly prepared. Nick’s an enthusiast as much as a dealer, and one of the few places I’d feel confident buying from sight unseen. Not usually the cheapest but you get what you pay for...

Haven’t seen the car but I would echo above - car was prepped perfectly

Why would you buy a car that you don’t like the colour of?

[Lee Jones Jnr]

Agree with others above, firstly don't buy a car that you obviously don't want, secondly Nick Cartwright only buys and sells excellent cars.

Probably didn’t look as good this morning as it did at 2am. Happens a lot.

Looks nice but I would say expensive for the mileage.

I keep looking at the TDF 430 coupe he has for sale, but that has been there for some time.

Not really as 458 values are very reliant on what spec they have..This Black one is a very high spec even down to having a carbon fibre rear diffuser..There are a few 458s for sale under £130k however they are mostly basic spec missing some key options.

I was drawn to that car several times, just didn’t like the seats. TDF was my first colour choice.

Fell in love with Grigio Silverstone though and went with that.

Just my 2p I am in the market for one in this price bracket as well as being a professional in the trade. The spec on that car is very nice but trying to sell it with 30k plus in the clock there's a decent bath to be taken there I think.

The tread on the rear tyres make me think its been tracked...

It's 10 years since I purchased from NC, dealing with son Ben, and my experience was very disappointing. So was the selling experience when I gave them the car back on SOR a couple of years later. By this time BC openly admitted they were buying cars not of a very high standard simply because they were short of stock.

LOL, too true

Yes, the colour would be a hard sell but not out of the question for me. Only real problem I have is black is a PITA to look after. I reality I am in the gotta be red camp.

I thought the price was reasonable based on the spec. Very high carbon spec all round which is of interest to me but the mileage could be seen as high by some. I would have thought as these cars are much more usable, higher mileages would become more common. After all that is only 3k a year average which is what I have generally did in my last cars.
Anyway, NC is a fair distance from me so not an easy Nip in to have a look hence asking if anyone had seen it and worth enquiring about.
Thanks for the comments so far

Another vote for Nick and Ben from me. One thing to note - if you go to see their car and find some things you don’t like you can discuss them and I found Ben to be extremely attentive. My 360 was beautifully prepared when I collected it.
