    Hey All!

    I'm a little late posting this, but after being a long time lurker (like a really long time), I've finally joined the fcar crowd with a 06 F430 w/ 30,600 miles - ZFFEW58AX60144969.

    A few photos from the FS add:

    It's got PPF on front/doors w/ full paint correction - all original minus the challenge wheels (and bypassed exhaust valves - which I've since re-enabled). I've put about 300 miles on it since I've got it and other than an EGT probe that gave up the ghost about 3 hours into Ferrari ownership it's been running great. I did tighten up the PIS the other day from 4.9 down to 4.3, way better in stop/go driving.

    I asked (made) my wife record the first drive back in June:


    I've been modding cars for way too long, so I won't be breaking that bad habit here either; I've already got headers and test pipes sitting in my shop waiting to go in. And I've ordered a tune thru Mase, which I'll likely send the ECUs out to on Friday this week.

    My brother has a dyno at his BMW shop up in PA, so I'll get some dyno videos whenever I trailer it up there at some point.

    Glad to be part of the crew (finally)!

    I see you are in NC. Join Ferrari Club of America. We have a great chapter in NC. Lots of get togethers during the summer months.

    Congratulations, you have almost the exact car I do with slightly more miles. Would you share what you paid for it? Prices are definitely edging up.

    Excellent color/interior combo for your first FCar. Classic.

    Nothing compares to the mellifluous Italian opera that she sings. That timbre always makes me smile whenever I hear the exhaust note.

    Enjoy many years making great memories in good health!

    $127k back in May when I was working with the seller; maybe a tiny bit high at the time, but it's a pretty car and with the Challenge wheels I had to have it.

    Spencer gave me the FaceTime preview of your car and I was close to making an offer, but the timing didn’t work out. Price was fair and it’s a great car. We’ll done sir!

    Small world - he mentioned he had interest in the car, I was curious if anyone here had kicked the tires. Thanks!

    A fair price. I do think the F430 is undervalued and will be noticed at some point. I just love the car and have no plans on selling.
