2005 F430 Gated Manual

It would certainly be a part of my purchase decision.

The dealers as posted above,made it VERY hard to buy one.

It is what it is......

 

If this helps, I purchased mine in 2014 because I wanted to drive a manual. I belive it was last of a breed and a particular driving experience. So, I purchased it as a keeper (fortunately before prices really took off). I believe (and think others do too) that the design direction of Mid engine 8cylinder Ferraris changed with the 458 and that the 430 6MT was the end of a run (and as pointed out here, not many were built). I feel my 430 6mt has more in common with my 328 than a 458, just as a 458 has more in common with a 488. OP asking a premium to purchase the last and finest of an era.

 

the Ferrari its in Fortlauderdale area

 

What makes you say that, derman?

All the best,
Andrew.

 

Is that a cuoio interior ? I used to have the exact same interior on my 05' F430

 

Cuoio is much darker.

Great looking car. Doesn't get more Ferrari than Red/Beige with 3 pedals

 

Great car indeed!

 

Price reduced to 200k obo. Will go up on eBay and other markets. This is the only place I've listed this car so far.

 

Price reduced to 185k.

 

And of course Ferrari, and the dealers, knew there would be much more profit in the long run, taking care of, and repairing the F-1 transmissions. From what I've heard, the dual disc F1's are even more expensive to maintain/rebuild. Talked with a Ferrari owner last year, he told me a friend of his, had a California, the F1 crapped out big time, and the total repair bill was right at $35,000, OUCH!! That really gets you upside down on the value of a car, big time.

 

Glws. Great looking car.

 

Absolutely gorgeous car. Just perfect. GLWS. Nothing more visceral than a 6 speed gated Ferrari in my humble opinion. It;'s just a different deal. Worth every penny.

 

Thanks for the comments. No real offers yet.

 

I know you are not seeking advise, but mine is don't sell it as you might regret doing so in the future. I have tried 3 times to buy my 2007 F430 MT loaded with CF back from its owner. He at time will post pictures here and my loss seems greater. I am very happy he is on this forum and is taking care of it the way I did!! I had a 458 and it just wasn't the same. GLWS

 

I think your price is very reasonable. Especially considering miles. Might i suggest more photos? If youre still motivated, id hire a pro photographer. Sometimes sexy women in skimpy clothing helps too. Then again, the curves on an F430 are hard to compete with. Good luck!

 

PM senti

185 is a bargain. Desireable color combo and miles. I can attest to the thrill of the manual 430. Like nothing else. Car wise.

 

Update first post to new price, some
Might be seeing original price and taking a pass

Done: post #1 updated with an edit.

All the best,
Andrew.

 

I'm interested and I'm in Minnesota. I don't think the post is real. Ill send a PM to Fougee.

 

Moderator, I need help with a PM to fougeee. I don't think this post is real, but I'm trying to find out

 

A year later and this car won’t sell. If you look at the F430 being sold on various sites for over $175k you will note that have been in the market for months. I’ve been seeing the same things with GT3s. Although these cars are amazing and unique with 6 MT, the metal isn’t moving a people are buying more F1 and PDK. Crap, there’s currently over 280 F430 for sale in the US with F1 starting at $80k; your going to tell me this twice the car because it has a manual?
