Price Check

Hi, I found a 2008 F430 with 2,935 miles on it, red/beige, manual transmission price $125. All other similar cars I have found have been automatics and priced around $145-$155. Is the manuel that I found priced so much lower because it is a manual or because its a smokin' deal?

thats a smoking deal, probably has prior paint/salvage title.

That price is 2008 price. I would really look into that car before buying it, as they say... if it looks too good to be true.....

Yeah, come to find out it had very minor flood damage and this was not listed on the posting. Not worth it in my book. I'd assume all the risk and have a hell of a time reselling...

Hey, is 40k to 80k miles doable on a F430? Do they last that long?

What is minor flood damage? 80K+ is no problem on F430s.
