430 spider as my first Ferrari... advise

what price is that commanding?

i have a pristine 09 430 that i LOVE, but I am always looking at the higher mileage cars for something i could drive guilt free more often, something like that would be in the low 120-130k range i would imagine?

 

Mileage is fine. Price 125-135k from what I see on the market. You should have stock wheels with the car and as much stock items as possible. I have aftermarket items on the car but I have all the originals

Do you have a link to the car for sale ?

Let's summarize:

What more to say!

 

Nice wheels but I would still want the original ones

 

Make sure you speak with a sales rep on the floor at MMC and not from the guys up stairs specially Brandon, he called to set up an appointment with me to come see and test drive the car back in Sept. I get there and he says I cant test drive it and the price he told me on the phone was far difference from what I was told in person. A lot of bait and switch with the rep (Brandon) I dealt with from that dealer, its funny seeing this ad because the rep called me back in Oct telling me this ferrari was sold for $130k and tried to sell me a difference F430. That Ferrari however is mint, surprisingly its pretty quiet with that after market exhaust.

 

Ok got it...watch out for Brandon from MMC- he's a sly one. Brandon you're on the internet for eternity now! Care (or dare) to defend yourself?

 

Beautiful car, personally I wouldn't care about having the original exhaust as it is garbage. It would be nice to have original wheels but you can find them all over the place and they aren't too expensive.

 

I love the red stitching and the yellow tachometer. Not a spider guy though.
