    I’m finally ready to buy my first Ferrari and I’ve decided that the F430 will be the one. I’m beyond excited, but I’ve had a really hard time finding a real peach. I’m hopeful one of you wants to sell, or knows of one available - please respond here or PM me if that’s the case. Here are the must haves:

    Model: F430 coupe (I do not want a convertible)
    Year: 2006 or newer
    Transmission: F1
    Color: Blue (open to all of them), Gray, or Silver (I’m aware this narrows down the field dramatically, but I don’t want red, yellow, black, or white)
    Interior: Cuoio would be ideal, but open to others
    Options: Scuderia shields and yellow rev counter are a must. I’d love carbon breaks (which are standard 2008+ anyway) as well as a signicant amount of carbon fiber in the interior, but that would just be icing on the cake.
    Mileage: No more than 20,000
    Ownership: No more than 3 previous owners
    Aftermarket parts: Few to none

    The only other thing to note is that I’d strongly prefer a car with a history that I can track. Service records would be the ideal version of that. I'm certainly getting a PPI anyway, so I’d be happy as long as I can at least get a solid description of why/where/when the car was serviced.

    I will also add that I will treat this car very well and it will have a happy home, inside a Carcoon, inside a garage :)

    Thanks!

    Nice looking silver F430 there. That 430 also has the more reliable Challenge wheels. It has been noted that the standard 430 wheels are rather fragile when it comes to navigating potholes.
    You should get a copy of the Forza magazine issue #119 August 2012 with the F430 buyers guide. Lots of useful information there.
    Happy hunting for your 430!

    Threads like this is what keeps me going. I’m a small business owner that is so very close to financial freedom. I’m on track for 2021 being my year.
    I hope you’re all here when my day comes.
    Peace.

    Guys like this include a long list of what they are looking for and what they don't want, but they usually leave one thing out. They want it for 20% less than market value. You would think a buyer who was presented with exactly what they are looking for would be willing to pay a premium for it. Not usually.

    Doesn't own the car but is offering it for sale ?... In the Ferrari world this is what we call "A story".

    infamous header issue. Cracked and sucked in on the intake side. We went through entire motor, had pistons re-done, everything. It only has 9k miles anyway but now it feels like it has only 500 miles on her.

    Agreed, also love it when they say they will pay in cash-how else are you going to pay for the car? Another sign that you are going to be either low balled or looking to waste someone's time.
