After 15 months of ownership and 8k miles I've sadly parted with my 458 and px'd in a deal for something different.
I thought I'd comment because I got a reasonable deal on the car regardless of those that would tell you the bottom has fallen out of the 458 market and they'll be worth a bag of washers in six months.
The other thing I would say is what a joy owning this car has been, apart from one service it's never been back to the dealers and it's never as much missed a single beat.
If anyone out there is thinking of buying one my advice would be go and do it, you really won't regret it!

Wow, 2 Aventadors. That's just greedy wink

Have you taken delivery yet Steve?

Any chance you'll be bringing it to the Beaulieu Supercar day on Bank Holiday Monday?

Congratulations Steve!

15 months is a long time for you to keep a car, wish I could keep up with you! Lol.... Still have your old 360 and going great.... But you really have done it now... I just love your new purchase. I'm sure you said that you would take me for a spin when I brought the 360! Remember?

Cheers and enjoy
Paul

Your village will think a spaceship has landed with that new car wink

Have to say from all the cars you've owned to date, the 458 has been the most impressive. Be interesting to see how the Lambo compares. Just hope you can reach the doors to shut them wink

No picking it up tomorrow. Looking forward to it(-:
I was looking for something to do over the weekend Beaulieu might be a nice idea!

Hi Paul,
Yes if I didn't have a car habit I'd be a wealthy man. Good to hear the cars going well, I bet you've not lost a penny on that wish I could do the same.
If you see me about come and say hello.

Cheers
Steve

360 was a good purchase and values seem pretty steady :-).... I still think you have just purchased one of the best looking cars around and a brilliant colour, my opinion of course!

I'm doing Beaulieu this weekend so it would be great to say hello, would give you chance to get to know the beast on the way down. Let me know if you want a contact for the event, I thought I heard that there where a few spaces left and you might even get an invite to do the runs up the straight.

Hats off to you Steve, that is very proper indeed!

There was only one way you could go after a 458 and this is one of them, f12 being the other.

Enjoy!

Cheers

Chris - I think you mean only two ways you could go after a 458 and this is one of them, F12 being the other.
