Silverstone/Red is amazing, especially with Challenge wheels.

Sport seats, or Daytonas?

G997,

If this is your first Ferrari I'd find a friend who has one that can give you a ride or let you drive it so you are sure of what you are buying.

If the one you mention attracts you spend a few $'s to actually go see it.

Then if you purchase it, contact Bob Sellers at Intercity to transport it, and if you need me to contact him for you just give a hollar as I am quite friendly with those folks.

They are based in your back yard!

Fabulous folks and incredible service.

What are they asking for the 300 mi car? When was the in service date? I wouldn't worry about the mileage as long as it's been serviced and you get a worthwhile PPI.

I would consider an '06 with more miles and more warranty before paying a premium for a garage queen that is or will be out of warranty soon, esp if you plan on driving the car.

GL with your search. The 430 is just sick.

the interior I could understand... what's wrong with the mileage? It's an 05 he averaged less than 3K a year. at that price...it was a steal!!! 05 with 300 miles?!?!? That's crazy! You have virtually no warranty left and you're going to chance a car with very little to no service history?

I can only imagine when it's time to sell mine....oh well...at least i'll know I enjoyed it to the max. I've never understood those who purposely dont drive the car b/c they're worried about resale values....

Have you ever sat in the sport seats? I like them but they are very firm(which they should be). You should try them out before buying an F430 with the sport seats. Sport seats often make the car harder to sell in the future too. However, if you really want the sport seats I say go for it. You only live once and why not get the car you want instead of the car the next owner would want .
