For Sale 2005 F430 Coupe

Up for sale is my beloved 2005 F430 coupe, modified in the image of the 430 Scuderia. Ed Bolian's Scud was the influence behind my build, and I'm happy to bring it to the market after two years and 10,000 wonderful miles. Here are the basics about the car:

- 2005 F430
- 40,248 miles
- Service records come with, clutch replaced in 2019 as well as OEM headers.
- Brembo Big Brake Kit, 6 piston calipers
- Gruppe M carbon airbox
- Scuderia springs, bronze powder coated challenge wheels, 1 year old tires.
- Sabelt carbon bucket sport seats
- Stainless steel catless downpipes, into custom X pipe exhaust.
- SCUD ING Swiss E-Diff Smart Relay
- Heat wrapped wiring harness
- Paint matched rear diffuser, & glass engine cover side vents.
- 16m Stripe imported from artist in Switzerland, installed professionally.
- Ceramic coated, paint corrected, by professional CQuartz installer in 2021.
- Garage kept & well maintained. Recent oil change was 200 miles ago, car received a full check up and passed with flying colors.

The car has 2 minor incidents on the carfax in its life. 2008 was a scratch to the front bumper, 2018 was a scratch to the driver rear quarter panel. Both were repaired professionally by insurance payouts per prior for sale ads. Contained within the service records is a professional inspection report from 2019 where the car received a 97/100 in regards to factory originality. The car currently has a check engine light on for downstream 02 sensors, given the catalytic converters are not present. I've not gotten a tune, but may consider ordering o2 sim plugs. It never bothered me, the car drives amazing.

This is NOT the Ferrari that you buy because you want a concourse car. This is single handedly the greatest automotive experience I've ever had. The carbon airbox produces an induction sound that makes the hair on your arms stand up. It is the closest thing to a 430 Scuderia I believe is capable, without buying the actual one. I'm only selling my car because I think I'd like to try a 458 Italia soon. If it doesn't sell, thats okay because its absolutely magnificent. If you want a fully built F430, for an ultra reasonable price barely over some sorted 360's, then I hope my car is your choice. I'm asking $125,000.00 and will entertain offers. Thank you for your consideration.

 

I've got more photos if anybody would like anything in particular, just let me know!

 

Very familiar with this car. Absolutely bulletproof and looks mint, trustworthy seller. Hate to see it go... the seats, the brakes, love those upgrades! Good luck with the sale.

 

Absolutely gorgeous! GLWTS!

 

I’ve enjoyed watching your build. Our cars will be missed but you did enjoy! GLWS!

 

great looking ride (and house!)

 

Thanks everybody!

 

I'm curious, are the seats OEM?

 

Headers replaced?

 

good looking car

 

No answer?

 

Second line in the description...

- Service records come with, clutch replaced in 2019 as well as OEM headers.

 

Hey folks, sorry I took a little time away from the computer with work the last few days. Appreciate the comments, yes the headers are replaced as per the initial post in 2019 with updated OEM headers from Cauley Ferrari.

The seats are made by Sabelt, which is an OEM manufacturer for Ferrari, but to answer the questions directly, no not OEM stock seats with this car. Originally, it came with black daytonas.

 

Not only did you take care of your car, but you also drove it, which makes you a true Ferrari enthusiast (in my opinion)!!! Good luck with your sale, your car looks fantastic!!!

 

Any more pics of the seats? Would you say they sit the same, higher or lower than the datona's. Are they sized, Large, medium etc.

 

Those seats look amazing. My biggest complaint with the 430 were the seats when I owned mine. Was never comfortable in them.

 

Is it just the pre cat removed or are both removed? Are they replaceable? I'm curious since I think my state would need them for emissions testing. Thanks

 

nice car and price

 

wanna part out ?

 

Unfortunately not at this time, if I did do that I'd probably need to plan it pretty far in advance to have a nice OEM equipped car to sell afterwards.

 

Thank you very much!

Its got the OEM headers still in place, the pre cats are gone. It does carry that pesky CEL on for them being straight pipe downpipe sections. If you're in CA then yeah I'm afraid this car would be pretty upstream rowing to get it smogged.

They are definitely lower seating than the daytona's as I've driven a car with them and felt high up. I'd say they compare nicely to the large seat of the OEM carbon backed.

 

Thank you guys for the interest. I'm thinking that it may be an appropriate time to let folks know I'll probably be keeping the car longer than I thought. Its just too good to part ways with for the types of offers that the current market commands. I'll leave the thread up and happy to engage with anyone while we ride out the insanity out there.

 

To me your 'ask' was very fair, and to me all the options and mods are very well done.

The current used market is like 200% UP in the last 18 months with all the Supply Chain issues.
So I would not feel like I had to take an offer below your proposal.

If it were a house you would have three offers OVER the listing!!

 

I might have put a legal exhaust back on, as I'm sure those straight pipes are quite melodious at speed???
In a good way f course....LOL!

 

Hi there, I’m in the market for an F430. Are you still soliciting a buyer for your car?
