Ever Bought The Wrong Colour Car?

[LamboPH]

Hi,

I know this thread is all down to personal opinion and other people's opinions shouldn't really alter your purchase decision, but I am keen to hear and respect your opinion.

So... I've found my perfect spec 488... it has ALL of my major desires, which I thought I would never find.

- Red
- Black Roof
- Carbon (dark) Intake Splitter (i think having this carbon (dark) makes a big difference on the lines of the car)
- Carbon (dark) Side Skirt (again I think this makes a big difference on the lines of the car)
- Yellow Calipers
- Full Carbon Package (Interior and Exterior)
- Cuoio (a rare find)

I was surprised to find all of these in a second hand car... HOWEVER, i'm concerned the red the wrong red (for me)? :-(

It's Rosso Scuderia as opposed to Rosso Corsa.

My Take On Colours
- I don't want it to feel 'orange'
- I'd never buy a red car, but considering it will be my first Ferrari I think it is acceptable to do so, and somewhat an itch i'd like to scratch
- I don't care too much about the colour of a car in terms of resale (buy the car you want, etc)
- Any colour outside of reds or silver / greys is an absolute no, so it does still fall into my strict colour chart :-) (I do like most Ferrari colours, but they are the colours I am sticking to)

My question... should I just wait until I find a Rosso Corsa 488, instead of buying a car that is 'almost' perfect to my spec? I'm worried that I might regret Rosso Scuderia and it's orange?

Anyone here ever bought Rosso Scuderia over Rosso Corsa, and regretted it?

Thanks guys.

Yes, I’m going for red, but just slightly concerned with Scuderia. I think it looks great on the Pistas, but as much as the car is for myself, it would frustrate me if people thought it was an ‘orange Ferrari’ lol
