    As the title states, a 2007 F430 Berlinetta 6 speed manual transmission car.

    Clear Texas Title
    Purchased used in July 2014 with @ 9,800 miles
    Original documents, window sticker, both keys, all manuals.
    No records came with the car.
    I did a complete 10,000 mile service once I purchased the car.
    I have receipts
    I also did a radiator flush and transmission fluid change.
    Brake fluid, clutch master cylinder fluid were good, so I did nothing.
    I did the same service again at 15,000 miles, just to be sure.
    Receipts for that service, as well.
    Custom Cover Craft indoor car cover
    Expel Clear Bra on entire front half of car.
    New Michelin Tires installed at 10,000 miles.
    Headers have shown no signs of cracking or leakage
    The only problem is the driver's seat lumbar support does not adjust.
    Having it looked at now.

    Other than that, she is fast beautiful, and an absolute blast to drive! I just took delivery of my new Huracan (needed to purchase for the new business) and need to sell her to pay for it.

    This is my first time selling on Ferrari Chat. I know you guys are knowledgeable and detail oriented. So please take it easy on me :)

    I will happily answer any questions and take any additional photos you guys want.

    Asking $159,900.00

    Thank you for the kind words. Please tell your friends. I have opened a new shop. We will become a sponsor on here, soon. Has been a bit more time-consuming than originally expected. Everything takes twice as long as I expected to get done. Purchasing the Huracan, outright, was unexpected. But the trade-in deal they offered was just silly.

    So, I bought it outright and decided to sell the car, myself. My first course of action was take it to the forums that I have learned so much from. I have a couple other Ferrari's. So, I'll be around for a while!

    It says 'black' on the window sticker. I will admit that the gray piping on the seats and they gray panels on the dash really 'soften' the blackness of it. It does come across almost like a dark navy blue. But it's black.

    I am always surprised when I see what people pick as options on these cars.... My F430 has the full carbon upper and lower but the original owner took the stock seats. I would kill for Daytona seats in it like this car has...and of course, that gorgeous gated manual.

    That's the color combo and transmission I would pick. GLWS. Seems priced right with recent sales.

    Comments like yours remind me of why I bought the car - to drive and keep forever!

    I own faster cars. I own more solid cars. I own 'better looking' cars. But NOTHING even comes close the driving experience of this Ferrari. In the first few turns I thought, "Ahh, now I see what all the fuss was about - I get it!"

    What has really made me chuckle is how reliable it's been. This past year (and 6,000 miles) have gone quickly. It immediately became my favorite car to drive. Just hop in and begin to enjoy. The leather interior has an intoxicating smell that's like nothing else I own - I always notice it, and it motivates me to keep it moisturized. The seats are perfect. The steering wheel looks and feels uber-cool!

    The pedals are exactly where they need to be. My feet fall exactly onto them EVERY time. The shifter is the perfect height, feel, and reach. But that is just the beginning. The excitement is in the driving! The gas pedal travels the perfect distance and has the right resistance. The brake pedal is the same; the resistance matches the go pedal. The clutch - oh my - light effort, but not too light, with great feel, and the PERFECT engagement; at the top of the pedal travel (as it should) without being ALL at the top, and you can feel every millimeter of engagement without being harsh or noisy. It's obvious Ferrari puts a LOT of development into how their cars FEEL - and it shows!

    Of course all of the FEEL of this car matches the actual performance of it. It FEELS light on its toes. It FEELS ready to snap into the next turn in the blink of an eye. It FEELS fast. Yet is so easy and comfortable to just 'ride around' in. She has plenty of silky smooth torque in the lower rpm's and is quiet enough down there to play the radio. The reo-magnetic suspension keeps the ride so smooth that she is easily the most comfortable riding car I own!

    Ok, I need to stop now. Before I start making irresponsible financial decisions!

    Great example of a 430 you have.

    I would never tell anyone what to do with their cars or possessions, but keep that car man!

    Last of an era and if the car is as reliable as you say its been, definitely one to make a permanent space for in the garage.

    Best of luck either way.
