A 2018 Ferrari 488 Spider with just 3,600 miles on its digital odometer is being offered for sale in Michigan by a dealer, following a CAD $75,000 specification that includes an Extra-Range Blu Corsa paint finish and a front-axle lift system. The car was sold new in British Columbia, Canada, and imported to the United States in July 2026.
The 488 Spider is powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.9-litre V8 factory-rated at 661 horsepower and 561 lb-ft of torque, paired with a seven-speed F1 dual-clutch automatic transaxle driving the rear wheels. It rides on two-tone 20-inch forged split-spoke alloy wheels with Pirelli P Zero tyres measuring 245/35 at the front and 305/30 at the rear. Braking comes from gold-finished multi-piston calipers over ceramic-composite discs at all four corners, while SCM-E magnetorheological damping was standard.
The original specification was extensive. The Blu Corsa paint was a CAD $13,485 option, and the car also features a retractable hardtop, Scuderia Ferrari fender shields, carbon-fibre side intake trim, adaptive front lighting, front and rearview cameras, parking sensors and a vented deck lid. Inside, the power-adjustable seats are upholstered in Blu Sterling leather with Giallo stitching and Cavallino Rampante logos on the headrests. Other appointments include dual-zone automatic climate control, a JBL sound system, navigation, Apple CarPlay and cruise control. The steering wheel is trimmed in leather and carbon fibre with carbon-fibre paddle shifters, an engine-start button, a manettino driving-mode selector and shift lights. A central 10,000-rpm yellow tachometer is flanked by dual multifunction displays.
Recent maintenance has been thorough. A $9,000 service was completed at Cauley Ferrari of Detroit in preparation for the sale, and work in August 2026 included replacing the spark plugs, engine oil, air filter, accessory belt and engine cover struts. The brake fluid was changed in August 2026, while the power steering fluid was replaced in October 2020 and the dual-clutch and transaxle fluids were changed in November 2021. The car is accompanied by a window sticker copy, service records, a battery tender, a car cover, a clean Carfax report and a clean Arkansas title.
The window sticker lists initial delivery to Ferrari Maserati of Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada, with a total suggested retail price of CAD $415,693. The Carfax report is free of accidents or other reported damage. Photographs of paint-meter readings are included in the gallery.
The car is being sold by an Ontario exporter and wholesaler dealer and cannot be sold to private-party Ontario buyers. It is offered with a Personalization Specifications plaque listing factory colours and options, and the sale includes a copy of the original window sticker.
