would you buy this F430? What to check in terms of recalls and fixes etc.. before buying it??

Any help appreciated guys! Thanks!

 

2005-2006 are known to have exhaust manifold cracks. I believe there is a recall or campaign. Other common issues are interior **** and dash pieces with soft paint rubbing off. I would have e diff and transmission scanned.

 

good point djantlive, in the US they have a gov't backed warranty with the manifolds, 7 years & I forget how many miles though, I just got mine repaired for free (thank GOD) otherwise the bill would have been $4,875

 

It's a lot headache for an high mile exotic?
