Maybe the mileage? Looks great to me.

It looks ok. I'm not sure how the Ferrari buying world is, but I was always told and always suggest that you're not supposed to buy someone's project.

I would want that car in stock form, no 3 piece rims, no Tubi exhaust. I do think you could find a better deal out there though. The market has dropped.

Are they local to you so you could check it out in person?

 

Thanks for the input Francesco. Yes, local enough...will take a ride over there this week.

 

Anymore with the way the market is, it seems like theirs deals to be found for the under 100k area. Its all about right time and right place though. Good luck, let me know how you make out.

 

The car has good options & is priced fair. It's not a great deal considering the mileage but is a fine trade for the ceramic plus carbon fiber. Not into the exhaust tips (which can be changed) or the wheels.

Francesco - under $100k for a F430? salvaged - yes but for a clean example - doubtful

 

yeah. you're dreaming if you think you can find a 430 under $100k without a story. I don't even think you could find a storied one for under 6 figures. And I don't think I'd call wheels and exhaust someone else's project. I'm not a fan of the 3 piece wheels, but the Challenge wheels that come with it are OEM pieces.

 

That looks like a really good deal, I don't think the mileage is a turn off at all if the seller can provide service history... the wheels and exhaust tips on the other hand...

 

The forgiato's are listed as "extra". I think the stocks look better anyway. The current price seems pretty good, but reserve is not met.

 

Agreed.

 

Even though it's got all the right options, it's still an 05, certainly not "low miles" and probably in need of service too since they mention the 5K done. It's all about the price and right now no offer is too silly b/c you don't "need" it and most do need to sell it. If you drive/like it then leave them with a "standing" offer (LOW of course!) and tell them to call you if they change their mind and you haven't bought something else.

 

time is on your side, I like the leaving them with a low offer. When they get desperate they will call.

 

salvage or ridiculous miles maybe....for all other no story cars, not anytime soon.

 

Definitely not a fan of the tips or second wheels... at least they don't come with it .

 

ive been to that dealer before, kinda sketchy

 

At 149 bin, it's at least 10k over-priced.
