This YouTuber based out of California received a pretty wild offer for her modified Liberty Walk Ferrari 458 Italia.
The offer wouldn’t be that unusual, were it not for the fact that her Ferrari was heavily modified, which makes a huge difference.
Still, the offer she got left her with a very tricky decision to make.
And people in the comments provided interesting arguments for both points.
The offer she received for Ferrari was both good and bad depending on how you look at it
California YouTuber Emelia Hartford must’ve triggered a cease-and-desist reflex – Ferrari’s favorite pastime – when she showcased her Liberty Walk Ferrari 458 Italia.
With that widebody kit, the air suspension, and custom work throughout, this is exactly the sort of thing that Ferrari might not like.
Still, the offer she received was still pretty substantial.
A local dealer got in touch and told her they had someone on standby with an offer for $350,000.
Her answer was maybe a little surprising
Emelia said she didn’t want to sell the car, which automatically caused a chain reaction in the comment section.
Some commenters noted that $350,000 is not necessarily enough for a 458, especially if you don’t want/need to sell it.
However, others pointed out that what’s true for factory Ferraris isn’t true for modified ones.
The market value isn’t the same, and so $350,000 for a car that comes with love-it-or-hate-it mods could be seen as a good deal.
“Take the money and run! Cars like yours are very buyer-specific,” one commenter wrote.
Well, they’re not wrong.
Liberty Walk does this all the time
Liberty Walk’s custom builds are very loud and unorthodox.
The Japanese tuner isn’t known for being subtle.
You either love it or you hate it, and there’s not a lot in between.
Especially because they have no ‘mercy’ for classics, either.
A while back, Liberty Walk began working on a new project to modify the Lamborghini Miura, and they did the same to a Ferrari F430, a Corvette C8, and even an F40 it unveiled at Tokyo Auto Salon in 2023.
Enzo Ferrari wouldn’t love it.
