Do you get hung up on colors?

One word : patience...don't settle on condition or specs ..

You are trying to buy a model that every week a new example or two come up ..just have to wait

 

Never settled on color and spec (race seats mandatory). It’s a huge part of the allure.

 

I agree do not settle. You haven't said how long you have been waiting but if its under a year I say keep waiting. I'm a rossa corsa buy myself and I have been in the same situation. The other colors look fine but then you go back to rossa corsa and it just pops. Hang in there.

 

red is for girls and gays

 

One advantage to a black interior is you can wrap a car whatever color you want.

 

I hate black exteriors, but many of my cars are black.

 

Great interior! (so which are you??) ^

 

Honestly, I was looking for red for my first one (328), but when I saw the grey I fell in love. I then went into a "red is for rookies" mindset, sort of a reverse snobbery.

My second one (Cali T) is red, because that's just the color that the car that showed up happened to be. But it's gorgeous.

My advice is to focus on the color you want (make no mistake, the First Ferrari is a big deal), but be open to other selections that look good on the car.

 

If your heart is set on red for your first, I wouldn’t settle. IMO…can’t really go wrong with red on a mid-engine Ferrari. Now…if you see one in person, (definitely recommend seeing it in person) that you absolutely fall in love with, I’d consider that. I’ve had this happen to me on a car recently and no regrets.

 

Just be patient and the red 430 you want will show up; it's not a rare color and they pop up on the market regularly enough, even if the right one isn't there now.

Best way to make it show up tomorrow is buy a black one today.

 

I think getting the right example w/ respect to history and maintenance is more important. Doesn't hurt to be open minded, you might come to love the color you find or even be grateful you didn't limit yourself at the start

 

Autotrader shows 22 red 430 cars for 2007+ available for sale in the United States today. Used car supply for sale at any given moment is not huge, patience is needed if specifications list is restrictive.

 

The 430 is perhaps my favorite Ferrari of the modern era (2000's on up). But in my eyes, red is not it's color. Silver, black (coupe with black interior, yellow pipeing and calipers be still my heart) azzuro blue, white is STUNNING but very rare. Anything but red for me basicly
