another F430 for sale on Ebay

Wow. $280 k and the Reserve isn't even met. Jesus.

Thats insane... a buy it now price for more than 100k over retail?

Ridiculous.

So ridiculous, in fact, that I'm inclined to say its not real... but then again there are a lot of people out there with a ridiculous amount of money...

This car is actually located in Montreal, Canada. Someone posted in the Canada section a video of the first customer F430 being revved up inside the Ferrari dealership in Montreal. By looking closely, you can see a blue F430 sitting right beside it so this car on Ebay has to be it. The F430 F1 will sell for CDN $269 000 in Canada so imagine how much money this guy is trying to make by putting it at a buy it now price of USD $320K

 

Your totally Correct. You can see more pictures of that Blue F430 in the F430 Thread. My friend saw it leaving and took pics.

 

This is the one.

MichaelSway (member) should know more of this F430.
This is what he posted in the F430 thread.
''The blue F430 located in Montreal (the one on ebay) happens to be owned by my friend's father. I am actually going to see it tomorrow, so i'll verify the colour and let you guys know. ''

Haven't heard from him since he posted this message.

For a car nearing $300K it should be in the Murcielago area in looks and performance.

 

The deal never went through. FoQ made several attempts to regain ownership of the car by using the "buy it now" option on ebay, for they were upset that the car was being sold on ebay for a much higher price. FoQ even went to the extent to contact Murray (the owner) and claimed to be the "second highest bidder" and offered to buy it for $310,000 USD. Basically, FoQ does not want to car to be sold over the internet and is doing whatever they can to stop deals from occuring. Whether Stroll is behind this scam or not, we don't really know...

 

If i want to get one of these in 2-3 years should i just get on the list, or is it already too long? I had read somewhere on here that it was already closed? Is that true?

 

there is not really any list, its not a restaurant reservatrion that they have a book with name and time. dealer can get you a car anytime they see fit, all at their will. u walk in and buy 2 late model ferrari's from them in a month, i am sure they will put u down for a spot thats delivered within 8-12 moths.

 

totally agree, the f430 is not worth 300k or anything over MSRP. I think this whole overpricing of F-cars is getting rediclious.

 

Yes, and you can only blame the buyers willing to throw their monies away.

 

How do you explain the phenomenon of the Barrett-Jackson auction. Hell people pay to get in just to watch others bid on cars whose original MSRP was $5000 and paying a 100 times that amount.

Limited quantities with an over abundance of buyers results in high prices. Too few being chased by too many. Simple economics.

 

please contact me ...

 

VikenB, that's not accurate. I don't know that you can say I've thrown my money away. I paid 50 over and have been offered 75 over already; that sounds like a 50% return to me! That being said, I have no intention of selling the car. I purchased the car at 50 over with the belief that "IF" I wanted to, I could probably drive the car for six months and my "at risk" money was probably twenty grand.

 

mattel item??????

 

Oh yeah??? Well I have my own amusement park & you’re not invited.

 

whats the rush, the F430 is not a 'this season' fashion accessory. It's only a bloody car, if you already own a ferrari then you already belong to club exclusive.

 

this is a questionable point, but i do think the dealers let certain people jump ahead on the list based on their loyality to the dealership...our local dealership will black list anyone who buys a car from them and then flips it fro a profit with out selling it thru the dealership....
