    Due to changes in life priorities, I am selling my beautiful 2007 Ferrari F430 with F1 transmission. As much as I have loved owning this car, I just have not been driving the car very much lately so it's better for me to let someone else enjoy her. The car is the classic Rosso Corsa over tan leather. The car currently has 16,2XX miles which may increase slightly as I occasionally drive the car on weekends and need to take the car for the annual service. The car is in absolutely stunning condition inside and out and you would never think this car is 10 years old by looking at it. I bought the car in September 2016 from Ferrari Maserati of Atlanta. They sold the car brand new and have serviced the car from day 1. I have EVERY service record for this car since brand new, so the history of this car is completely documented. There are no issues or stories with this car. This is just a beautiful example of a nicely spec'd F430 that is ready to drive. The only thing I have done since purchasing the vehicle is buy a new battery, got Xpel PPF on the front bumper (clear bra), and recently had a paint correction done.

    This car is nicely optioned:
    -Challenge wheels
    -Carbon fiber Challenge rear grille
    -Daytona seats with black inserts (also electric)
    -Seat stitching
    -Front and rear parking sensors
    -Red brake calipers
    -Scuderia shields
    -Carbon fiber dash inserts
    -Leather roof
    -Hi-Fi stereo/subwoofer
    -6 disc cd changer

    The original window sticker comes in at $207k. The original owner did a fantastic job when ordering this car. The Challenge wheels and rear grille are both a gorgeous upgrade. The Challenge grille is especially nice to have; not just for the contrast that it adds to the rear, but also because it helps with venting engine heat. This is a sought after option and you'll find online posts of F430 owners who don't have it spending upwards of $6k so they can swap to a rear bumper with this option.

    Maintenance: This car has had all of it's maintenance done at Ferrari of Atlanta since new. The car was lady-owned before me and she traded it in for a 458. Before the dealership put the car up for sale last year they did the following services: a brand new clutch (I've only driven 3k miles since), 4 new tires, and a major service including oil change, new belts, gearbox fluid change, power steering flush, pollen filter change, brake fluid flush, differential fluid flush, and coolant flush. Ferrari of Atlanta also had the front bumper resprayed prior to sale. The car is due for an annual service next month and I have it scheduled at Competizione (a well known, reputable Ferrari shop in the DC area) the first week of August. The exhaust manifolds were switched to Ferrari v2 manifolds in June 2013. There are no mechanical issues to my knowledge and there have been no check engine lights in my ownership. The car has been rock solid without any issues.

    Minor issues: Some bolster wear on driver's seat, some curb rash from the previous owner, and the black coating on the door hinges is cracking/peeling (can only be seen if the door is open). This car is 10 years old so it will have some normal wear and tear.

    The car will come with ALL of the original books and pouches, the F430 VIP book, window sticker, 2 keys, car cover, tool kit, flashlight, car trickle charger, and documentation of service records since new. This car is in EXCELLENT condition inside and out and you will not be disappointed if you are looking for a well taken care of F430. Please click the link below to look at even more pictures on my Flickr account; all in high resolution. The photos will show that you are looking at a stunning car.

    I'm asking $122,000 for the car but open to reasonable offers. I prefer to be reached via email ([email protected]) or you can PM here on the forum, but I will respond to emails quicker. I'm located just outside of Washington DC. PPI is welcome at buyer's expense. I can provide the clean Carfax report upon request. This car has never been in an accident. Thanks for looking!

    Thanks!

    I know, it was a difficult decision to sell her. But I've been wanting to buy an investment property and I also have a baby on the way, so the combination of those two things is driving the sale. I barely drive the car now, so I won't have any time with a newborn. There is no doubt I'll be back in a Ferrari down the road!

    I forgot to include this, but I bought this car as a Certified car from Ferrari of Atlanta. I paid extra for the Power Warranty which expires in Sept. 2017. I thought it was worth noting that this car did pass their certified inspection at purchase.

    I had a spider almost exactly like this and it was a terrific car. The challenge grill in the back not only looked great but really was functional to help extract the heat. I think only 2007 and up models had them on the option list. Some F430 owners wanted to retro fit it into earlier model years and it was like 12 grand to do it.

    Good luck selling it. It looks like a really fine car.

    The annual service was completed at Competizione recently. Clutch wear at 17%, so 83% remaining. This car needs nothing but a new owner. Let me know if you have any questions.

    I have yours in Nero and like it as much as the gated 360 I sold.
