430 in 6 Speed Manual 3 pedal

Hi folks, was originally planning on getting a 360 in manual, but have decided to bite the bullet and get a F430 in Manual. I'm open to coupe or spider, and open to most colors, except for Silver exterior and grey interior.

Looking for a no stories car (no prior history of accidents, etc).

Options- More options the better! Aftermarket exhaust like Tubi or Capristo a big plus.
Racing seats would be fantastic, but I know that its a super rare option.

I'm in Houston, Texas, obviously a Texas car would be great, but am OK with looking/buying nationwide.

Please PM, email through forum or email me directly at jgopinath_2000 at yahoo dot com if you have a car (or know of anyone with a car).

Thanks!
Jake

 

Hi Jake-

I am out in San Diego. I am kinda new to the post and didn't see a PM option or your e-mail. Can you tell me how to PM you?

Thanks,
Brent

 

Hi Brent, I just sent you an email. Not sure why you aren't able to see pm/email options, as i frequently get emails/pm's from folks on this forum? Regardless, hope you get my email! If not, feel free to email me at jgopinath_2000 at yahoo

Thanks!
Jake

 

Lamborghini of Houston had exactly what you're looking for a few week ago. Not on their site anymore. Silver color spider. Grigio titanio I think. Bordeaux carbon racing seat interior. I'm pretty sure it belonged to an F Chatter that traded it in for a Lambo. You might want to give them a call just to give them your name in case the car goes back in. Not sure there were too many made in that combination.

And I'm assuming the color choice you listed from your original 360 post still applies here. If not, my apologies.

 

Jake- Just so you know, there were probably around 3 times as many 3 pedal 360s as F430s. They are out there, but only about 10-15% of production, where for the 360 it was between 25 and 30%.

 

Hi, Jake.

You may remember me, I was helping you search for a 550 Maranello a while back. I know of a few three pedal F430s that have been listed around, let me know if you're interested.

 

Absolutely I remember! Hope you are well.
So I'm on autotrader, cars, ebay, DuPont, jamesedition, etc all the time, if you know of cars that aren't listed online for sale, but have heard through your contacts, for sure, please let me know.
Thanks and liking forward to hearing about some nuggets you might have! Email me.
Thanks,
Jake

 

Hi Terry! I agree. Definitely a harder car to find, but then again, the hunt is almost half the fun!

Currently i count 5 manual 430's listed at various car listing services. Out of them, 3 aren't priced correctly, the 4th is a black/tan that i'm in conversations with the owner (posted on here to see if anyone knows the car) and the 5th one is a red/tan that i'm waiting on a response back from the owner (not sure if its sold yet).

I also got a lead on a red/tan today that's in MD, waiting to get more details on this one as well.

That makes 6 cars that i know of.

Autotrader currently has 286 430s listed, so about 2% of cars currently listed are 3 pedal. Definitely a small number, but then again, they are out there...
