Traded 2004 996TT on 2005 F430, 5,300 miles, F1, no options accept wheels.

I'm lovin it, thought I liked 996TT, but this F430 is a different animal.

Took a few pics today....I will post after I convert them from RAW to jpeg.

And I know, no pics and it didn't happen!

 

Very nice. Congrats and enjoy it!

 

she's beautiful.......enjoy.

 

very nice. congratulations.

 

You know it, brother!!!

My goodness, you've got a beautiful car. Right now, the F430 is slightly outside my maintenance cost range. Please feel free to offer any insight about this whenever the topic becomes relevant to you (any kind of maintenance would be appreciated).

How often will you be driving it? Daily?

 

Congrats!!!
It's at times like this I miss my 360, that said your 430 is much nicer!!!
Enjoy!

 

I'll let you know about maintenance, it just had the 5,000 service 400 miles ago by Ferrari (prior to my purchase).

I will be driving it at least 100 miles a week, as long as the weather is good in S N.J.

 

Thanks all!

If any of you have a 996TT I will be putting together a list of parts I have for sale on the 996 Turbo board.

 

Very nice!

 

Well done and Congrats!!!
I have been searching long and hard for the right one....it is tough!

 

100 miles is about what I'd be driving as well. My daily commute is only 10 miles, but I find stupid unnecessary reasons to drive extraordinarily long routes.

Sounds good!

(I'm also secretly pleased to hear the next owner will put more than 5000 miles on it over 8 years)

 

That's a great low mileage car....couple questions as I am looking at a similar car...
How is the condition of the leather? I have seen some even with low miles where the bolsters of the drivers seat shows some serious wear.
Any pre purchase due diligence things you did?
Were exhaust manifolds replaced?
What did you get her for? (feel free to PM me if you want). Info greatly appreciated, and congrats again!

 

Love it, got to drive one on the World Class Driving Tour in Vegas last December and it was just a monster.

 

It also has shields
Love it and congrats. Anytime you want to take a ride to central jersey so you can take me for a ride just let me know lol. I would love to go for a ride in a 430 just to hear the exhaust. Ive been in a 360 but that was the only ferrari I have ever been in.

 

Message me in the spring, and if you drive to the Shore, I'll give you ride!
