Looking to buy a 430 6 speed manual

Hi, I'm in the market for 6 speed manual. Any lead will be much appreciated. I'm willing to spend up to 130k. Thanks!

 

Two in Ferrari ad section.

 

I don't think you'll be able to find one for $130k

I am only aware of the one for 170k. Is there another?

 

You and everyone else. Good luck.

 

I saw a few on ebay. One coupe IIRC was in that range.

 

I'm pretty sure the days of stick 430s for 130k are long gone. Please Send any links that prove otherwise.

 

I believe that train left the station.

 

I spent the last 3 months looking for an F1 430 but looked at every ad on auto trader and ebay. It will be very hard to find a 3 pedal at 130k. There is a black/tan manual spider here in Austin for the high 160's. I think that's more the price range now a days.

 

Sure he will, but it will have 70k miles and have needs....

 

You are correct. I was mistaken.. the car I THOUGHT I saw was an F1. My my my how prices have risen for the 3 pedal!

Good luck in your search OP.

 

Bought my F430 6MT for $124k last Nov after 9 months of shopping.

Leaking oil/water pump, badly broken exhaust. Know that in the sub $130 range on a manual there's likely something the seller isn't telling you.

 

Thanks for all the feedbacks! If the 6 speed manual f430 selling in the 160k range, would you rather have a scud with higher miles for that money?

Nowadays even a scud with higher mileage is more than 160k.

 

Truth. I purchased my F430 6 speed manual last year (to the day, actually) for $130k. She now has 17,000 miles. I am having the front bumper resprayed this week so I can put her up for sale. The only $160k I would consider would be in stacks of $100 bills.

The minimum I would take would be $170k - that would have to be a straight forward wire transfer, ready to go the day my car is out of the shop. Other than that I'm parking her in my place under a cover until I get $180k.

By spring time, who knows what the market will bring? Either way, I can afford to wait.

I believe this will be the typical attitude you will run into regarding your search for a 430 six-speed manual.

Happy Hunting!

When the car is done, it will get transported by to my place (about 10 miles away) where it will sit curing for one month before I apply the new clear bra over it.

After that, I'll be going over every detail of the car making sure all is perfect before I put her up for sale. I have no choice, Ferrari customers are way too meticulous!

 

Here's one in Alberta Canada. With today's exchange rate $149,000 CDN is only $115,000 US:

You won't find one for 130 because it is worth more!!! I know ... I used to own one it was a great car and I had nothing but great experiences with it... Nothing even close out there as far as experience goes with s 6 speed ... Maybe a stock Ford GTbut those are 250 to 300. I would say a nice clean example between 5 to 10k miles is about 160 to 180 of its a coupe.

 

At that price point, a 360 Manual could be a good alternative

I am considering selling mine, 170 is crazy, I would be at 145k. Rossa Coursa/tan, cf interior, big aftermarket radio/amp/navi , clean, never hit, new bat, yearly fluids, front ball joints, fab speed headers-took the stock ones out 2nd day I owned it, love driving it so it is high miles 33k. Owned it since 19k, last owner was a car guy too. Needs nothing, maybe a new front clear bra- just installed but could be better. Not all stickies cleaned. Pm if your interested. I did promise my friend I would let him look 1st. Heal toe makes me feel like Alonso so I'm not convinced I really want to sell.

 

Instead of paying speculation money for a manual 430 I would buy a manual 360 - much better value for money IMO if you are looking for the driving experience. If you have driven a manual 430, try also drive a manual 360 for comparison.

 

yup! took me 2 years to find my 6 speed manual! couldnt be happier! with my purchase

 

For reference, a really nice 2006 red/tan spider with 11k miles sold a month ago for high 140s. It was sold within a day or two though, so certainly a great deal. The ones for sale at 160-170k seem to sit for a while.

 

Thanks! I'll look into the manual 360. I agree that there are some good deals on 360 out there. The 430 I has always been my first choice due to the ease of service.

 

That is a good buy! I guess I just need to be patient and hopefully one will pop up.
