Nice exotic dealership. Oh, mean home garage

In my garage everyone chooses my Mclaren 675 LT(all my sons friends only want rides in the Mclaren). My daughters friends all prefer my G63. Kids are strange. Most will end up uber/sharing rides in the future probably.
millenials would also prefer a "new Macca" to a 250 GTO or '74 Carrera RS 2.7 or even a Singer...so there's that

It's all about the turbo...turbo's are cool, right?

That's the garage I'm going for! Thought finding a UV 458 could be hard

I don't plan on tracking it so I was thinking an Italia would be plenty the speciale is amazing looking. Maybe if I shop long enough I'll find a steal on one. There are a fair amount out there and the price range is pretty big for 14s to 16s.

I'm still trying to figure out if there is a Cpo warranty or not with the ones coming from dealers.

Spend some time driving a 430, a scud, and 458 if u can. The 458 is a bit tame relative. It looks pretty, but is missing something when u dive it.

High 300s for asking price. Auction values are mid 300s to high 300s.


If you want really low miles and good condition ones or special optioned ones, they are still in the 400s.
