Can you guys give me some feeback if this 488 spec is lacking any of the "essentials" or spec items that are relevant to quick resale.

I change cars frequently so resale is a live issue for me and I want to buy a car with a decent spec both for me to enjoy and also to be able to move on swiftly.

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Nice spec and the 'right' colour too with pretty much most of the must have options. It doesn't have front lift which maybe a deal breaker for some but not entirely essential imo.

Cracking spec, lift & apple car play would be perfect but no problem without lift on 488 GTB on resale, get that bought.

If you are going to use it in Europe then you definitely need lift. I drove mine to Italy and back in June and had lots of problems with ride height. As a result I sold the car and won’t buy one without lift again!

I drove my 488 in France. No lift, no problem. Superb car.

No lift. Many say you don't need it, but in my view it's good to have. It'll help you get into some underground car parks (not all though..). The seats seem to have coloured inserts - not sure what that would look like. Otherwise, excellent.

I haven’t had lift in a 599, 458 and now a 488. Car lives in an underground parking area which is down a ramp; no problem. Did the NC 500 in the 488, again no problem.

I drove my 488 all around Scotland with some very rough roads from time to time, no lift and no had no issues when you take it steady. I had more problems with a 992

Nice spec, I live in London and lift has saved me hundreds of times. Big speed bumps, off camber car park entries etc. I've only hit the front splitter the once and I forgot to press the button the day I picked the car up, never done it again! Parking cameras are useful too but not essential. Looks good overall though.
