What I am missing here?

Seems like a really good deal, too good to be true?

Ferrari 430 Berlinetta | eBay

 

pay for the PPI and see

 

looks like a really good buy, but not so good to think there is something wrong..

 

if thats all it needs is rear tires and minor stuff,with all the options looks like a great buy,looks very mean.

 

650hp, wow, you're missing at least 4 turbos stuffed in there somewhere, along with the stainless headers.

 

High miles and undocumented work makes the price very fair. If checks out, you have a deal of the year.

 

Amazes me that 19K miles on a 7 year old car is considered high by some.

 

Do a search on the VIN. Hmm....

 

This guy cracks me up;
a. Tuned in Germany by Ferrari. Really... The car was a CA car, now a FL car, I wonder when it made it to the Ferrari factory (which has moved north, through Austria to Germany where the beer is much better).
b. 650 HP without forced induction on 4.3L would be 151 HP/Liter out of a NA engine! I think the tuner should work in F1.
c. Milage is fine if you are going to drive her. Which is what I recommend!
d. Euro bumper - I read "crashed and had to replace bumper". Have a good PPI and look at the nose closely. The fact the headlights were replaced as well is a cautionary tale waiting to be told.
e. Front bumper screen looks aftermarket. Or maybe I missed my coffee today.
f. Window switches VERY sticky
g. Driver bolster worn and scratched on right side of driver seat on bolster.
h. I swear the last interior image before the receipts, the driver bolster closest to the door looks photoshopped (poorly), or a poor retouch of the leather with dye.
i. Flashlight missing
j. Books missing


For the right price, sure.

 

Did that b4 even creating the thread. Turned up nothing, except a container shipping slip from Amsterdam. Do you know something about the car?

 

I know, he has it priced pretty aggressively but nothing noted to justify the below market value. That always worries me.

 

I disagree. I think it is priced "fair".
a. High milage (for a F)
b. Bad rims
c. Non OEM (Nose, stereo)
d. No flashlight, books (bet he only has one key, seems like the "keep one as a souvenir type")
e. Beautiful, but low demand Black/Black

I see 110k for a 2006 coupe with these dings is fair. 100k would be aggressive IMO.

 

YUP, there are all kinds of owners and this guy writes his ad like the kind at the other end of the spectrum from whom I want to do business with but I am a little over the top on used cars so YMMV. Super thorough PPI would sort that all out but then there is the cost of it all. When I see this car I am reminded how awesome looking the 360 is and for the same dough there is less risk IMO.

 

I may be wrapped up tighter than some but how does a car of this magnitude (I have total respect for the 430) end up in a place like this? I don't like the answers I get when I run it through my noodle

Great picture, especially when you see the word "Insurance".....makes you think!

 

At this price along with the description, I'm betting that it was involved in a front end collision. Of course if you ask, they may (or may not) admit to it and say it was a "minor" tap.

 

colors i feel best resale are red of course,than white/yellow .those are the 3 top best colors for resale imo

 

Down to $97 K

I find this amusing. I know some high school students think New Mexico is a foreign country -- but Florida.

I've had e-mail contact with the owner. It has been listed as low as $95.9K. Too many unknowns for me and the bumper replacement and black wheels are deal breakers. I'm about 5 hours west from the dealer. I may take a ride that way one day if I find myself with nothing better to do.

 

One other thing to research on. I saw a 430 in San Diego listed for an attractive price. Before looking at the car, I Googled the dealer by name. Turned out this individual was being investigated by the State of California for fraud. There was also a video from the local TV station exposing his practice.

He basically sells cars on consignment, then take payment from the buyer and never bother paying the seller. So the seller lost the car and did not get paid while the buyer had a car minus cash and title.

I ended up buying another 430 from a private individual with all maintenance and repair records and paid for a PPI by a Ferrari mechanic before closing the deal.

Sometimes you get what you pay for.

 

Just a heads up on this car. It apparently sold for around $96K in Jacksonville, FL and has now resurfaced in Tampa, FL on eBay for $112K.

 

I'm still trying to figure out what he means by "YELLOW CALIPER ceramic brakes". Those are obviously not CCBs... does it have some sort of ceramic pads?
