2008 or 09 F430 Berlinetta or 430 Scuderia

I think one thing the Op fails to recognize is for the most part the cars advertised by Fchatters as their own cars are cars owned by car enthusiasts and are likely exactly the type cars every buyer wants .. However having bought several through Fchat most of them are at or very close to or maybe a little over market.
and guess what I have never been disappointed..
but to each his own.

 

You are a smart man!

 

Would agree that car forum prices tend to be over market.

See some unwarrented attacks though on the OP, especially proof69 who is NOT an owner or serious buyer by his own admission.

The OP is only willing to buy at his price. Fine, if you're not willing to sell at that great, move along.

Maybe the guy never gets a car at his price....that is always my strategy as well, I'd rather end up with no car than one I feel was poorly bought.

 

Congratulations and welcome to Ferrari ownership. It's always nice to hear stories with a happy ending.

 

Congrats. Around $190K I'm guessing?

 

Sweet. I'm glad that it's all worked out so well for you.

 

Stripe? Seems low.

 

Congrats! Glad you were able to find what you were looking for. Most private buyers will never pay dealer retail, or close to it from a private seller.

 

Congrats!

 

congratulations ..
you will love it

 

Very interested to hear the details and especially curious if you ended up buying from a dealer or private party

 

Really great price, where did you find the car? Autotrader/Cars?
Congrats on your baby girl btw.

 

Ha! Awesome!

 

Well done! Definitely one of those best days ever......

 

i think it was the one on ebay from private seller... The buy it now was $195k if remember correctly... if so, my buddy looked at it. big congrats, the scud is awesome. i have the same car! if it the same as one on ebay, what was the reason from the brake change (i think pads and rotors) with so few miles?

 

If that's the car from eBay, what was the exact issue with the brakes?

 

Congratulations!! Beautiful car.

 

Ok.. It has been a few days.. Let's see the post! With pics! Looks like a very nice Scud.

Info about the brakes and remaining clutch would be interesting as well for a pricing data point. Obviously non-tracked those rotors should last for 10's of thousands of miles. Perhaps the former owner was stretching the scuds legs a bit on the track? If so would he interesting to know how the clutch held up during that time. I am guessing ok as there is not alot of starts from zero on a track?

 

What were the needs this car had? Is it in the shop now?
