F430 Trade-In Value

I've been contemplating trading in for 458 Italia Coupe . The local Ferrari dealer told me the F430 prices based on recent wholesale auctions in California have taken somewhat of a nosedive. I don't know if that's a ploy to get me to commit to a higher price for the 458 or if it's fact. My car is an 2005 F430 F1 with 17000 miles and 6weeks ago he was gonna give me around 100k now closer to 85k.

 

100k was a good offer .try selling on your own

Prices for 458s are coming down as well. I'd do more research and blkdiabol33 says try selling it yourself.

 

Thanks for input good info ttforcefed I may try to sell myself the 458 I was looking at has almost as many miles as my car and doesn't appear as babied!
My car is 2owner with new Pilot supersports and new Interstate AMG battery plus no stories! Seems like would be easy to sell but never tried to sell an exotic car before.

 

what year 458? 2010 458s with 7k+ miles are holding strong at 170K+ wholesale
i just sold my 2010 4k mile 458 for 190k. tdf blue/tan

 

2012 458 coupe with almost 14000 miles but good spec 190k no stories car offered to me for my car and 107k out the door with one year warranty including tax

 

id say do it no matter what - 458 is the most amazing non supercar machine built ever.

 

Did you replace your 2010?

 

Not yet, focusing on something else right now

 

I've had my F430 for over 6years and really like it but just ready for something new to me and better

 

I have 2 430s. Go for the 458

 

you really can't beat the 430 price and performance

 

That seems like a fair (or more than fair) deal (and you avoid selling your 430, selling a ferrari these days - for most models, and certainly for a first year 430 with 17k miles and F1 - can take a long, long time).

 

Thanks to all for input the salesman told me after I drive it I'm gonna want to pay him MORE for it!

 

If you drive the 458 you will be making the deal. LOL

 

In many states, you will also save on sales tax, paying only on the $107K vs the entire $190K, so factor that in as well, if it applies.

 

hmmm interesting. I recently asked around and the dealer is giving me 110k for my 07 spider with 12k miles, pretty well optioned car with carbon brakes, new clear bra and ceramic coating. I find it a bit low but that's expected for trade in i guess

 

Wow, that's crazy. All the dealers I contacted within a few hundred miles of me were giving me wholesale prices or worse. One went as far as to tell me I would never get what I wanted for my car if I tried to sell it myself, but I essentially got what I was looking for.

 

100k would be decent for trade in. 85 still is not bad considering tax benefits

 

What database is that and how does one get access to it?

 

oh by the way local CA dealers is giving me really low values, i got a 95 and a 93. The 110 are all from 3 dealers in TX and IL

 

found a data point to suggest that $85k is a fair trade-in/wholesale offer...$100k is a decent retail sale price these days, 15% in back of that is as good as one can hope for on trade-in. (unless unknowingly over-paying for the new car).

...here is a car that has been on F-chat for ~5 months and is now asking $105k. And $105k is a private party asking price. Even a retail sale price around there would be less 5-10% selling costs (my local dealer has an 8% consignment fee for example), so netting the seller even less.

Run to take $85k trade-in if you like the 458 and its price.

And, also supporting $85k trade in on the OP's car, this one which is a much more valuable car, got $110k trade-in:

2 years newer + something
Spider +10k at least
30% lower mileage +$10k at least
Carbon brakes + something
