I'm guessing its your car as it meets the discription of the one in you sig?
Pretty car. That is not the most popular color combo, but actually, the one I prefer. Always stunning in person. When was the last belt service done?
Good luck with the sale.

Yes it is my car. No belts on the F430, one less thing to worry about (F430 has chains instead). All service is up-to-date and was performed by Ferrari of San Francisco. Warranty through 9/21/08.

It seems as though the economy is doing a number on everyone that 1) can't justify a >$175K+ car and 2) the pleasure of drivng such a great car on weekends has been pissed on by the price of premium gas. I have never seen so many cars for sale on ebay. There is 56 430s for sale on ebay alone. Last year you were lucky to see 10. Great car, bad timing probably.

You never know...a very similar car just sold for $185k on eBay a few days ago...red/tan, same miles, 6-spd, etc. I may be wrong, but don't think too many Ferrari buyers are terribly concerned about gas prices.

I agree. I don't know many people that are spending $180k+ on a car/insurance/tax/etc and then sweating the extra 20 bucks it costs them to fill up the tank. Nice car, great transmission--best of luck!

My point was some and I certainly don't the % of Ferrari buyers are not really as well off as you may think. In fact some of the ones I know have extended themselves with seconds on their homes and whatever other means they can to get into one. Most people that are well off and I mean HNW of $10M or more usally don't need a Ferrari to make an identity for themselves. If fact most like to keep a low profile. With that said, I also know some Ferrari owners that are great people, deserve to own the car, have the means to buy it and enjoy it. I see many Ferrari owners keeping their cars in the garage because of fear of losing too much money due to high mileage. The type of person that can really afford these types of cars as has been said are not going to worry about paying $180+ for a car, the gas that goes with it or worry about putting mileage on it. I just think whatever percentage of people that fall in the "look at me" category are gone, thus reducing the potenial buyer that existed 2-3 years ago. You can even see on this forum the amount of high end cars that are being sold. Again 56 F430s Ferraris on ebay is a lot and something is making that inventory rise. They certainly are not producing more cars in Marenello.
