Congrats! Nearly identical to mine, except for the shifter. You'll enjoy it.
Jaguars to Ferrari... "Frying pan to the Fire!!" Just kidding. DRIVE your 430 and just relax. Like yourself, I've had a bunch of fun cars for decades but my first Ferrari (F355 Spyder) 3 years ago takes top marks for heart-stoppingly gorgeous, overall driver satisfaction and mechanical noise (distinguish from mere exhaust.. also know I've had a Porsche 996 GT3 I took to the track so my bar wasn't low at all for sound)
Very nice car and color and it looks really clean! I too have not purchased my 1st Ferrari...have the cash for a 430 but keep looking for the right deal Congrats on getting what you wanted!
Big news, enjoy the car!! Looks better in your pics than the ad. Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Great job and congratulations, good things come to those who are patient!! I would love a gated car someday too but the prices are crazy and I doubt it will ever happen, either way it s a thrill, roll down the windows and blast second gear to redline in a tunnel (ahhhhh lol)
You will enjoy this car driving on the streets or on the race track, good choice Image Unavailable, Please Login
Congrats! It's the little details that you fall in love with too, like yours has something I've never seen before. The area around the vents to the engine compartment are painted body color, where every other F430 I've seen (including mine) are gunmetal. Image Unavailable, Please Login vs. Image Unavailable, Please Login Gives a very distinctive look, you'll always pick yours out of the crowd. I've put 45K miles on my car since I bought it in 2010 (I'm the 2nd owner), and every mile has been wonderful. It's fun on every kind of road, and even more fun on a racetrack. Use it in good health, and don't sweat the (s)miles.
Ferrari916, There are quite a few good deals out there right now. Hope you get yours before April when the prices jump up a little. I think it's the best Ferrari for the money as well as one of the best looking ones. Good luck!
I've also never seen it. I didn't spy this in the ad so seeing it in person, it makes the glass seem to be larger how it melds into the body lines and engine lid. I would have been perfectly happy with gunmetal louvers but absent a challenge grill I think it suits it well! I am hoping to break in my ownership with 1,000mi a month the first three months give or take and yearly fit in 4,000mi. With four seasons, this means capitalizing on good weather.
