    Moving from 355 to 430. What should I be looking for when viewing a 20k mile 430 spider?! Any areas that I should pay particular attention. Car has full main dealer history etc.
    thanks

    Look at service records and be sure the headers were replaced. For sure they have failed by now. I did the same thing btw...355 to 430. I never looked back! You will be thrilled.

    What year is it? Ferrari will warranty the exhaust manifolds for 8 years from in service date.
