    2009 F430 Scuderia 16M
    8,400 miles
    Silver, with red,white, and green stripe
    Red leather interior
    Red leather shelf panels
    Complete with seat covers, steering wheel cover, and indoor cover
    New Optima battery
    New cloth top
    New Bridgestone Tires

    I bought her off a friend in need a couple years ago. He bought her as a crashed vehicle and repaired her. Then we took her apart and touched every nut and bolt and re-assembled her with correct Ferrari factory bolts. Aligned every panel to perfection. Correctly routed every wiring harness. Made sure EVERYTHING works correctly. Have been driving her sparingly to preserve value, yet enough to keep everything working as it should. If you know Ferrari's, then you know they don't like to sit!

    I have documented ALL the work completed at Ëuroworld Motorsports in Houston, TX. It is almost 12 pages of meticulously documented work. Just as you would want on a car as special as this one. As you can see, she is simply beautiful. The color combination is extremely rare and not likely to be seen around anywhere, soon. The values of these cars are near all time lows and with only 499 made, the future value of these cars will be tremendous!

    Well, I have enjoyed her well enough, but I am just not a convertible guy. I simply prefer coupes.

    Although I prefer to sell her outright, I am open to trades plus cash for another Ferrari.

    Did I mention I prefer coupes?

    So, take a look, ask questions, and let me know if you have any interest.

    Asking $339,000. The is available for inspection/PPI at Ëuroworld Motorsports.

    I will add more pictures as requested. But for now, enjoy!

    I am surprised by the lack of interest, here. Any suggestions. I know this is a tough crowd. LOL

    The crashed part may of hindered interest. My guess.

    Awesome looking car, i am not looking to buy one,not in the near future anyhow.

    I could imagine the main question would be the crash details?

    At that price and being a salvaged car, the next owner is going to be facing massive depreciation when the car turns 10+K miles. You're looking for a buyer who will just drive the car and rack up the miles without caring. Probably priced incorrectly for this scenario, but you never know.

    There's a Speciale on eBay for 299K that's also a salvage and likely facing the same issues.

    Thank you all for the excellent advice. I'm shocked by the price drop. Last summer, there only a few for sale in the country. They were asking close to $500k. Now there are 14 on DuPont Registry, alone. I was expecting to lower the price to $350k. But the market has taken quite the nosedive, this year.

    The car has a clean Texas title; no salvage. Just a simple crash repair. You can simply enter the VIN into google and the crash details come right up. Experian (the credit reporting agency) is handling accident reporting directly through the dealerships, these days.

    Anyway, just being as honest as I know how to be and the marketplace is the ultimate authority in determining prices.

    Here is a pic of the VIN. Will post more interior pics, tomorrow.

    Searched google, first 9 entries gave no accident info. Recommend you provide an appropriate link so interested people do not waste their time searching for naught.

    When I put the car's VIN into google, here is a link to the entire first page. Please let me know if it does not work for you:

    I did not take any pics of the process. When I first saw it, it was just another wrecked exotic in my friend's shop. They come through there on a regular basis. He had completed it and been driving it for a couple months when he asked me to purchase it.

    But from what I remember, it had the front bumper, passenger front fender and suspension components on that corner replaced. I could see the obviously new parts when I pulled the service panels.

    Like I said, earlier, we touched everything we could put our hands on and confirmed assembly. Including the alignment. She's good and then some! We will happily supply our repair records to whoever wants to have it PPI-ed so they can double check all our findings.

    I clicked on the link and none of them described the damage at all.

    Can you just give us a ballpark on the cost to repair it? I know this is the shop's cost and not retail, but it would help.

    When I talk to him, later today, I'll ask for his invoices on the car.

    Good morning! After much more research (and teeth grinding) I have decided to lower the sale price of our silver girl to $309,000.

    I'm still working on those repair invoices.

    I appreciate the openness you have taken with this posting. I have long considered a 16M, and I love this car and color scheme. I am even willing to take a car that has been wrecked, because I drive all my cars often, and don't keep them in the garage to enhance resale value.

    However, at that price point, on a wrecked car, it just isn't for me.

    Don't undertake the invoice search on my behalf. Good luck.

    I appreciate that. You have asked a legitimate question that a serious buyer is gonna ask. I need to be able to provide that information. Thank you for your honestly.

    Frank, your website seems to suggest to you're not selling this privately, but as a dealer (if I'm wrong please correct me). Maybe guys are strictly looking private party, no stories, sub $300K. Just some guesses

    I personally own the car. My shop is not a dealership for cars. Merely parts & services. In Texas, I can sell up to 5 cars per year without a dealership license. I can also consign for people without a license.

    Like I said earlier in the listing, I'm open to offers and trades plus cash. A PPI is also welcomed and even encouraged.

    I have purchased repaired cars in the past. As long as I know the repair was done correctly, and the price is good, then it's a great opportunity to pick up a true 'bucket list' car and enjoy it the way it was meant to be driven without the worry of severely devaluing the car.
