I always told myself I wouldn't get another black car but the options and deal were too good to pass up and i've always had a love for black ferraris (red is too cliche).

Previous owner put a Tubi exhaust and its stupid loud lol, but i love it. integrated passport radar you can see on the central tunnel, whole front half clear bra'd, tinted windows as well.

Congrats! Amazing pickup. Always loved the 458! Having a Tubi is like a cherry on top. I believe they are one of the few exhausts that actually increase the value of Ferrari's.

I'm hoping to get into the exotic game soon.

I believe novitec increases the values as well. Good choice btw humdizzle

Here's a question daily driver wise (it doesn't seem like your daily outright) which do you like better? 458 or the GT-R

I want to add to that: I'm curious on why you sold your GT-R.

Love the new car by the way.

I've got to say the GT-R is the most attainable for me in the future so I do want to know why the move as well.

I could simply afford a better car. The GTR was paid off and i really had no plans for it. After bolt ons and 600whp the next step to 1000hp gets pricey.. around $30k i think. Money that I would never get back.

GTRs are depreciating as the market is saturated with them. I would be taking a bigger loss after the 2017's come this summer and people dump their 2015/2016's for them. I got out ok.. i lost about 10k in depreciation in 3 years but i probably should have sold it last year.

NA engines are skyrocketing in value. Look at the current GT3 and GT3RS..as porsche is moving all 911s to turbocharging the purists are clinging to the last NA cars.

The Mclaren 12c and 650s took an absolute dump in the market

In europe/UK 458's have already started rising in price as many owners just aren't as happy with their 488 turbos. They don't sound as good and throttle response is diminished. I could sell my car easily for $50k over what i paid for it over there.

DD wise the GTR was way better. The 458 with its ceramic brakes (that don't work until hot), carbon bucket seats, low stance make it tough to DD. That and its LOUD, way louder than my catless GTR, and gets attention ALL THE TIME. The GTR just makes it effortless to go fast while sipping a latte.

But stepping into the 458 is an event. It feels like a racecar. Stepping back into a GTR after feels like stepping into a fast SUV.

This is true. The McLaren dealership near me cannot move the cars, even the entry-level 570S. A 12c is incredible value now, but I've never seen cars drop so fast from MSRP unless they ended with AMG.

I'm considering an i8 because BMW put themselves in a similar predicament. Too much supply, very little demand.

These specialty cars all have a perfect window to buy and to sell.

I have seen a ton of i8's here in ATL.

Very nice! Would definitely take a 458 over a GTR personally.

RichardsFRS · 04-30-2016, 08:03 AM

Beautiful car. Rather have that than any Nissan
Garage and car don't go together lol. You usually see that in a carriage garage with five doors. But there are many tucked away super cars in the neighborhood's around here. Good trade up
