    Hi Everyone,

    I'm from Quebec, so be kind with my English! ;)

    So, I'm now at the point in my life where I'm able to afford a not too expensive Ferrari.

    I have my eye on a 430 around Toronto, but since I'm from the south shore of Montreal, I have no one I can trust in Toronto...

    I've been told to contact a guy named Alex at Daytona Auto Center. He was nice, took the time to look at the add with me, but since I spoke with him, all I see is people that had a bad experience at Daytona.

    I called Ferrari directly and they do PPI, but, they will give the result to the owner and not me...

    I looked in the forum, but I could find any post before many years.

    So, I would like to know where is a great garage around Toronto to do a PPI in 2025!

    And if you would like to give me your opinion on the car I'm looking at, contact me in PM and I'll show you the car I'm looking at, and you can tell me if it's the deal of a life time or if there's definitely a reason why it's been for sale for a couple of months!

    Thank you for reading to the end and for your help!

    Just display the ad here. You'll get more responses and a good critique of the car.

    Hi!

    I didn't want to because i thought it could deviate my original question of where to go to get it checked!

    Here's the ad:

    2005 Ferrari F430 | $129,900 | 43,355 km | Gas Coupe for sale by Vehicle-Direct | Etobicoke, ON

    2005 Ferrari F430 - Exotic Car Dealership Toronto

    The ad is not very accurate (it doesn't have CCB and it doesn't have the shields on the fenders), but the car would be perfect for me: it's high millage so I won't be scared of driving it, it's not red, so it's cheaper and I like the blue!

    But, the biggest interrogation I have is the inside that was reupholstered... it looks weird and I don't know if it's well done and with quality material...

    Anyway, let me know what you think!

    Thank you.

    I agree. Alex at Daytona Auto Sales is the best.
