458 Spider - does GS command the biggest premium?

[James-5lt6v]

Hi there,

Still on the hunt for the right 458 Spider, and I can’t help but think the pricing seems more erratic than ever.

I am looking for either a GS or a Rosso Corsa Spider, both with buckets and black leather. I had understood that Rosso Corsa commanded the biggest premium, but there are currently only 2 GS Spiders for sale (there are 3 actually but only 2 with buckets), and they are priced at £180 and £185k with 12.5k and 12k miles respectively.

There are plenty of Rosso Corsa cars with bucket and less miles for less money which certainly wasn’t the case a year ago. Maybe it’s just because there aren’t many GS cars about and there are plenty of Rosso Corsa cars which is driving the price down... or maybe the 2 GS cars are simply overpriced and will sit there forever... discuss!

Cheers,
James

Glad to hear I’m not the only one struggling then, pricing is all over the place and hard to see what is actually selling and what isn’t.

The 2 458 Spiders that Manchester Stratstone had up in recent weeks were the most keenly priced examples I have seen since I started my search and both went within a week. Likewise the black one that Romans had a month or so ago also sold within a week... so they are moving when the price is right but clearly some are overpriced and sitting there unsold (but still unwilling to discount!)

I’d be happy with grey/black or red but red would definitely need that carbon rear panel to brake it up a bit. May the search continue!
