[Time To Buy?] Ferrari 458

Episode of 2 of my 'Time To Buy' series and I visit Alexander's Prestige to get behind the wheel of a Ferrari 458 they currently have for sale.

The Ferrari 458 came out 10 years ago, representing a new era for Ferrari and the supercar in general. With 560hp from a naturally aspirated V8 engine, it was arguably the most usable mid-engined Ferrari ever made.

'Time To Buy' (or Bargain Hunter as I'm about to rename it) looks at cars that may now represent a good bargain due to the fact they've suffered their biggest hit of depreciation, they are rare or just represent a dying breed of car.

Episode 1 featured the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S:

I don’t know why I keep wiggling whilst talking to camera. Think maybe it’s just excitement to be out filming again! I’m working on it

[nealp]

Seems crazy that this car is already 10 years old, one of the best looking cars made.

The 458 is an epic car in everyway possible... It was a huge leap from the 430 as Jeremy said on Top gear

[Yikerr]

Personally I don’t think it’s time to buy a 458

Because I have 6 pounds in my bank account

As a 458 owner i agree with every you say.

We are on the same wavelength on the 458 Italia. I've owned Ferrari (not 458), and McLaren…and now Lamborghini. I almost bought a 458 Italia, but I was scared to meet my hero car. A car I want to keep, forever. At 36 I have time to try the other marques, but in the end, the 458 Italia is what the heart desires.

This is one of the most beautiful cars ever designed. Love it.

Sam inserting an ad break at 4:58 in a 458 video, it’s the little things!

Love the cinematography angles from the front passenger fender.

Love the 458. I hired for my 40th birthday a 458 spider for a long weekend, Friday to Monday, and it was everything I dreamed of and more. The reaction was always positive from children shouting it's a Fwrrari!! Out loud to people asking me loads of questions. When Top Gear first reviewed 458 Italia I got goosebumps and I still do when watching the video back now. Vicky Butler Henderson reviewed the 458 spider in Italy when she got very emotional driving the car. Only a 5 minute video on u tube. I was excited to here this car was being reviewed after listening to the podcast. I have always said if I won the lottery the first thing I would buy is a 458 spider as it has and always will be my dream supercar. Glad to hear the values remain strong because it's a great car, very fast and gives you that amazing feeling only the prancing badged cars you. Great video once again Sam!

Huge affinity towards the 458. From its driving dynamics to its looks. Stunning car

[petergriffin]

That Vanquish is absolutely beautiful, and I’m definitely a Ferrari fan...but, that Aston, wow!

[ghowells]

I have a 991.2 GT3 currently and getting very tempted with a 458 spider, lovely car.

[Tenths]

Timeless Pininfarina design ✔️
Gorgeous NA flat-plane V8 ✔️
Strong values ✔️

All the hallmarks of a future classic! 🤤

I'm in love with the 458. The looks and the engine note...

[samcormack]

I can’t not see the ‘seen through glass waddle’ now, my

[Ebb]

Anyone else notice Sam’s new little shuffle when he talks to the camera?

[SamirChopra.]

One of your best car videos after a long time.

[tadhgbolen]

Hands down my favorite production mid engine ferrari. The only one I've gotten to drive and it was the first supercar I've ever driven. I'm glad you love it as much as I did, truly a weapon for the road. I LOVE the sound and LOVE the handling. The throttle response is stupid awesome. Such a perfect car!

[mankytoenail]

Sam I'm loving the way you are conducting your vids. Great idea with the bargain hunter series. You seem to have a really autonomous and organic way of thinking and filming your vids. Much appreciated and you are by far my favourite youtuber
