Dear F-Chatters, Today was a wonderful day... I bought my first Ferrari! 2008 F430! I've been lurking here for a few months trying to absorb as much as I could before pulling the trigger. Thank you one and all for all the informative posts, opinions, etc... You guys are awesome! Pete Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Congrats! I know how you feel. Your probably going in the garage every 5min thinking I can't believe it. Enjoy!!! Car looks great by the way, love the challenge grill and I like the black/red interior. How many miles? Be sure to check the exhaust clamps for cracks. I just did the oil change and transmission fluid change and noticed my left clamp had a crack. Had my friend weld it, so I'll be keeping an eye on it.

Just shy of 9400 miles. While I'm sure Tan interiors are most desirable... I really love, LOVE the Black/Red interior. Thanks for the tip regarding the exhaust bracket. I have lots to learn!
That's a HOT looking ride. Love the look. May have missed it but cambium confirm the exact exterior colour (doesn't look like Corsa in the pics). Pinch yourself them drive it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Congrats! love the rear grille and the ball polished wheels. My first Ferrari was a F430 too which I still have and hope to keep for as long as possible - they are great!
Good for you. I got my 08 just about 9 months ago and I still stare at it every time I pass through the garage, it’s amazing how that excitement just doesn’t fade. Drive it often and have a blast.
I did the same just about a year ago so I know the feeling. I still get a twinge just thinking that there is a Ferrari in my garage. Looks like you made a great choice. The car looks fabulous. Best of luck with it. Drive it often and enjoy it.
