What is a fair price for a 2007 F430 spider ?

I am still deciding between a Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 or a 2007 Ferrari F430 spider, what is a fair price for a 2007 F430 with less than 2000 miles ? Thanks !

Not an easy question to answer.

There are so many variables-coupe or spider, options, services done, accessory wheels and tires, etc.

Prices seem to be all over the map from $185K-$210K for a coupe maybe but spiders at this time of the year command considerably more-$275K-$290K.

Why don't you buy that one? Sounds decent.

Then you can get rid of that goofy Porsche avitar!

BTW, what kind of "clock" did it have?

I know it's not your only car, but for the weather up here, I would consider the LP. Unless it's in addition to the Porsche vs replacing it.
Can't go wrong. Have you driven either?

What does he have and not drive? Why would anyone have a car and park it unless it was a 4 million dollar Pebble Beach winner. They are all just cars. Drive the crap out of them. The engineers in these car factories aren't sitting around designing something to look good in a garage.

It's like dating a beautiful brunette and not f$#king her every night.

He has a beautiful (very beautiful) 348 and says his back hurts too much for him to get into it!

Not a $4 mil wonder but very nice.

He wants my 360. It will never happen.

I found a picture of his beauty!

It's a rare GTB coupe!

Bro, i already drove both cars, and i prefer the 430 is a better car in everything above the Lambo 560, the 560 is a Audi inside,has very ugly silver control in the dash board, has also a pour Torq, and i dont know but i dont like the visibility and the driver's pocision dont like me personally, i love my 997tt but if i have to take another car the F-430 is better than the 560, go with the F-430...

The 430 market is soft as is the highline market in general. 430 inventories are bloated.

Not only have current 430 asking prices declined, but selling prices have declined and will continue to decline on a linear scale. There are still uninformed buyers out there who walk into a dealership and pay a needless premium, but those buyers are becoming fewer and fewer as time passes.

What is a "deal" today is a loser tomorrow. Thus, negotiate your best price, then drive your car, and enjoy your car; but be prepared to see your car depreciate.

When buying a car about a month ago, I was undecided between a 997tt cab, Gallardo Spyder, and f430 Spider. I offered a guy in Cal. $230,000 for an 07 with ALL the options. It had luggage, Carbon fiber everywhere, Challenge wheels, F1 and 2000 miles. It had to list for $285,000 or more! He seemed interested, then suddenly called me back and told me he got $255,000 for the car. Still a good price, I thought. I decided to go with the G Spyder. Needless to say, for substantially less. So far I'm glad I did.

He took less from another than what you offered? How crazy is that?

What year is your Gallardo? Pictures?
