09 SCUD ...looks awesome, great price?

price seems fair but wow low mileage and says never been raced.....i already picked up my 458 instead but was debating for awhile between 458 and SCUD (yes i know lots of threads on that already!). Enjoying my 458 but looks awesome below.

Used 2009 Ferrari F430 For Sale | Redwood City CA

 

I'm not a sale expert but the car looks mint, it's very beautiful (Scuderia always will be) and we preserved! So, the price looks fair enough.

 

If I were looking for a Scud, I would jump on that one - exactly like mine except I have gold wheels (also have back with slicks)

 

Looks great to me!

Only small thing I would change out is the cheaper-less-under-bumper-coverage skid plates. The better ones run full edge to edge and protects 100% of the exposed bumper bottom.

 

Seems like a great deal, but a PIP, carfax, and check of maintenance records would still be a priority for me. I can't find the miles anywhere on the ad, am I missing it?

 

Nope you're not missing it, but...
Looks like 4,697.... according to the pic anyways. ;-)

 

Looks like a great car & price , low miles as well . Enjoy , I am loving mine !

 

Wow that car is CLEAN. But I would pick a scud over a 458 italia. Especially a newer 458. The price is excellent. But I bet there is still 10-15k of wiggle room. If u can get that for 170k its a steal.

 

I doubt if you can get it that cheap. I personally don't think dealer would sell it less than $185K.

 

Unless the dealer stole it, no way they'll let that go for $170k (that's more like wholesale #'s.) My bet is it'll take at least $180. And that's only because of the time of the year!

 

that is a $175-185k car....gorgeous. Makes me miss mine...(may get another

 

One just sold at Ferrari of Tampa bay with a little over $3K miles for $189K. Perhaps the market is stronger here?

 

I bet if you walked to them at 175k they'd let it go for a serious buyer. Either way great car. I hope this means prices are finally dropping to more reasonable levels.

 

right, sure they will.

 

Nope, they won't sell it under 188k, my buddy already tried. I guess if it sits long enough they might but seems very unlikely.

 

Iirc the scud pricing model we have been using would say $192k. So their ask of $187k seems pretty good. Assuming car checks out its a perfect optioned resale red sub 5k miles scud...what's not to like!

If I was looking for a scud, this one would be at the top if the list (as usual pending PPI and records check).

 

$1k over asking?
Silly dealers

 

Good advice - due diligence should never be skipped. This is the same dealer that sold dbvillain his Scud and that ended up to be very expensive for the buyer. Some low miles Scuds have a lot of hard driving

 

I could swear just yesterday the ad said $189k..... or am I crazy??

 

before I was a real buyer I use to think that you can go in the dealership and take $10K+ off the asking price, but the fact is on these specialized cars (cs, scud, F40, etc) being sold at a Ferrari dealership, there is always a buyer and they know it. It still amazes me how many people can afford these cars.

 

That's the "break" he got, 1k off asking lol. I guess it's their way of shoo'ing off tire kickers.

 

not crazy. they have 2 listed now. one at 189 and one at 187.
just go to main site to see all the listed cars.

 

Wow nope they have two now! They lowered the first one to $187k because it has 1k miles more than the new one. New one has 3900 miles and is now $189k.

Now with two of them you could get a good deal since they're both pretty similar!

Here's the new one:

Ferrari Silicon Valley | New Ferrari dealership in Redwood City, CA 94061

 

IT looks exactly like mine (mine has a couple of other options nothing important) and is beautiful ... THe price looks fair to me for what it is.. I know i paid basically the same a month or so ago .. If i were still in the market I would be all over this car.. assuming it checks out of course.

Just realized this car is Rosso Corsa nice color but mine is Rosso Scuderia which Was what I was looking for (just personal preference) don't know what is more desirable but my search was for the rosso scuderia...
Still nice car
