Definitely NOT in the market for a 488, I've had my fun with those UBER cars.
Even spec'd out and ordered a 458 Spyder and had a long standing deposit on the 458 Speciale. The 458 Spyder came in but I turned it down, dealer was very happy. When it came time to order the Speciale, I was already burned out from having so many cars coming and going. It was an obsession of sorts.
My dealer was very happy to have a 458 spyder for resale at something other than "sticker" as I was already a customer with a buyers order at msrp. Not sure how it went with the Speciale, probably made out very well.
The key is getting into a brand new Ferrari model right away and I am talking about their bread and butter models. (For that to happen, one must buy a preowned model and perhaps take a small hit from the dealer and have a deposit well in advance) Once in, if held more than a year to two at most, watch out below. If one year is enough of fun and keeping the mileage under 3k, you won't lose a dime. I got back exactly what I paid for my 458 coupe. It becomes easier down the road since when one car is traded towards the other, there is less of tax implication, at least in PA.
