Ferrari 488 - whats the "must have" spec?

[turboman786]

Hello all !

I currently have a 2019 Vantage and am considering a 488. I've researched the 458/488 thing considerably and have decided that the 488 is better suited to me (mainly due to age/availability/warranty)

So I need to find a nice 488....

Is red really a must? Id rather have a black one or grey but resale is a relevance at this price point for me so if it has to be red then so be it

Carbon seats seem to be a 'must' - all the 488s that have sat for months have the standard seats

JBL audio ?

Carbon driving zone

what else please folks ?

Actually, when you come to trade in a red car, dealers will pull your trousers down because "we have too many red cars in stock right now."
Any other colour and it's "yeah, it's not a good colour for resale."

Heads they win, tails you lose.

So just buy the car you want, enjoy it and to hell with the resale. And if resale value is an issue then I'd respectfully suggest that you should never have bought an Aston

Lol re Aston depreciation, Ive only owned it a few months so hopefully wont be too savage. Ace car so worth whatever I lose !

Unfortunately, changing a car within a short period from purchasing is probably the worst thing to do when it comes to incurring a loss.

Not in my experience, Ive done it dozens of times and your comment is certainly not my experience. It all depends how much you buy and the spec/pedigree of the specimen.
