    Thanks, I agree! Looks stunning in red and it is flawless. Practically new, very low miles and babied.

    Far as I know this has standard options...F1 transmission being the only real option. 2007 Ferrari F430 Standard & Optional Equipment Could be wrong, will ask the owner when he gets back in town next week.

    Hard to say. It could be:
    1) What you are saying
    2) The price may be not right
    3) Marketing needs to be tweaked.
    4) Right person hasn't shown up.

    This is the exact car I have and think it is awesome. Good luck.

    Is this car still available?

    At this price, why wont it sell? Is the market this soft or is this an iffy car.. CarFax reports 2 owners but claims its original owner?

    Stephen, nice talking with you.
    You are absolutely correct. This is a 2nd owner car (my mistake!), I will update our website accordingly.

    In talking with various people, their sense is that the market is still very strong for manual shifting cars, but soft for F1, even though a lot of people prefer the F1.

    We are the sole promoters of this car at this point. It has been in the FCA newsletter last year at $140K, and we ran it online at Hemmings. We uploaded a very brief video on Youtube. My thinking is that if this car were at a dealership it would have been long gone. A pristine car with no wear signs, only 3% clutch used, paint in great shape, leather unblemished, complete with mostly standard options, but does have the following factory offered upgrades: Scuderia shields, yellow brake calipers, leather upholstery headliner, electrically operated seats, special red stitching on black dash and tan seats, console, door panels, etc. It does come with a fitted red car cover, all manuals plus pouch, the factory supplied tool kit including air compressor and Ferrari flashlight.

    I have no idea how someone can put down 'Ferrari money' and not drive it for 10 years...
    I drive mine every chance I get.

    Awesome car...GLWS

    The only reason I can think of is that they have so many other exotics that thou to us mere mortals an F430 is god;s chariot, to them just another exotic. :)

    We were asked to take a video of the interior, to verify that there is no wear. (Not sure if this link will work, on youtube... https://youtu.be/Nl51gfTVL7A )

    Would you take $110k shipped to Los Angeles? If so, may consider.

    A lot of people aren't familiar with the F1 transmission and don't drive it smoothly the first time they do a test drive in it.
    But, after the 2nd or 3rd time you drive one, it becomes second nature and the shifting is glass smooth and you can shift very quickly while accelerating or downshift quickly while braking for a corner.

    I used to own a black 2006 430 F1 and it was a wonderful car. Beautiful lines, plenty of power, lovely sound (especially if you leave the low RPM baffles open), and easy to live with.

    That appears to be a really nice, low mileage 430, in the classic red/tan color combo.

    Also, people should know that Sandy runs a quality repair shop with a good reputation and he's very active in the Ferrari community. I believe he is the FCA Chapter President in his area.

    GLWS.

    I could be wrong but I always thought that Sandy was Wil De Groot's wife and is a "she." I would love to be corrected if this is not the case.

    To your point, I haven't heard anything but great things about the De Groot's, their shop, and their FCA involvement.
