1. 1With only 499 built, provenance and documentation matter enormously.
2. 2Verify any applicable recalls are closed and that the high-revving engine's major services are up to date. The 458-era sticky interior trim applies here too.
3. 3Confirm the brake fluid leak recall is closed (NHTSA 21V833000; the reservoir could leak and cost braking, fixed by a new reservoir cap and software). This car's 2015 model year also falls under the airbag ECU recall (NHTSA 19V411000, which names the Speciale A) and the Takata passenger airbag inflator campaigns (NHTSA 16V341000 and later); check both are done.

• 21V8330002015
  The brake fluid reservoir could leak and cost braking; remedy replaces the reservoir cap and updates software.
• 16V3410002015
  Takata passenger frontal airbag inflators can degrade with humidity and heat and rupture on deployment; remedy replaces the passenger airbag assembly.
• 19V4110002015
  A faulty airbag electronic control unit could keep the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners from deploying; the campaign names the 458 Speciale A.
