Any one know this 430 for sale in Sacramento?

looks nice but 5 prior owners seems a little much.

Vehicle Details: Maserati of Sacramento-Niello Maserati Dealer-Ferrari - Stock #UM5551, 2005 Ferrari F430 Berlinetta

 

Don't know anything about it but it is local to me if you would like me to give it a once over.

 

That would be very nice if you could Dan, but only if it's convenient for you.

No worries. What time frame do you want it done by? I can try an run over during lunch one day this week. Is there any particular areas you are concerned about?

 

Sometime this week would be great; if you have the time; no hurry. I think it's been on the market for a while. No particular areas of concern, but if you have time to drive it or at least fire up the engine to look for leaks or rattles, would be nice. If I were to make an offer, I'd try to get a PPI anyway.

 

Got it. I will give it a once over and report back. If you do move forward, I would recommend Ben Salerno of Salerno Motorsports for the PPI.

Best of luck with the car.

 

In my experience, more owners means that the car was just driven less than it would have otherwise. I am the 5th owner of my car. I bought it with 18,500 miles when it was nine years-old. 2,000 miles a year and 4,500 mi. per owner. They just didn't like it enough to drive it much, let along keep it. She finally found a good home with me.

 

Carl,

Sorry but this Affordable Care Act is killing me at work. I didn't get a chance to head over there this week. I blocked some time off on my calendar for early next week to go see the car. Does that work for you?

Dan

 

Yes, of course Dan. No problem.

 

Hi Carl,

I stopped by during lunch today, looked over the car and briefly spoke with Rick Schneider of Sacramento Maserati. He was happy to open up the car and let me poke around. In addition, he copied the service records they had on hand. I can send them to you via email if you would like. PM me your email address and your phone number and I will fill you in about the car.

Thanks,

Dan

 

Rick's a good guy - he's come along on a few of the SACRED drives with us, and is a personal friend. Just tossing that in there.

I've seen the two F430s they have there, they're both gorgeous.

 

I agree. Rick was a nice guy and was very helpful.
