    Hi, I am in the market to get a F430. After doing some exploring, I am reading that the first year model tends to have the biggest issues. Can I please get some input on the best years to buy? Any after 2005? Or? I would like to reduce my chances of repairs as much as possible. I do understand that their is always maintenance, my last car was a Lamborghini Gallardo and fortunately I only had to deal with basic maintenance costs.

    Thanks for any tips!

    I’d go 2007 without tpms for the win...

    TPMS? Is that the tire pressure monitoring system? I am still in the researching part of the two different types of breaks you can get for this car. One being almost bullet proof but insanely expensive to replace and the other needing to be replaced more often. So far 2006, 2007, seem more reliable then a 2005 from everything I have researched.

    What greyboxer said, visit the 360/430 sub forum. I would suggest an 08-09 if you can. Those model years have the most upgrades.
