Were 2009MY F430 Spiders a limited production?

Hi Carl

There were very few 2009 F430/spider produced.....It seems Ferrari mainly concentrated on producing the Scud and tooling up for the 458..... I own a 2009 spider...highly optioned, very low miles......do you own one?

if that were stick it wld be worth something. if that f1 has 3k miles it cld be worth 160k but thats all the money.

 

You do realise the models we are referring to in this thread are die cast ??!!

 

Wrong forum for this car inquiry. Needs to be moved.

 

That's funny, I have the same question about my 2012 Aston Martin DB9...I never see any others advertised on any national site?

 

They were not limited production, which hints at something else. They were, however, the last of their production run and not many were built as they geared up for the 458 and produced Scuds and 16Ms on the same line.

 

I think they only produced 2009 models through March. Ferrari cut a deal with the National Traffic Safety board. They wanted safety sensors in passenger seat that automatically shut off air bags for children under a certain weight. Ferrari said it would cost to much to redesign seat. They said they would make it in the 458. The NTSB allowed Ferrari to use a key turn off switch for the airbag instead of a sensor in the seat. This was allowed thru March 2009. That is why not many 2009 models. I think they ramped up production in 2008 to compensate. Also the recession hit big time in 2008. Dealers were taking 10% off MSRP to move cars

There were 51 new F430 spiders sold in the UK in 2009.

 

did you hear about the financial crisis in 2008 ?? & the Ferrari 458
