Back in 2005 when I ordered a 3 pedal coupe, I was told I was stupid and no one would ever want a stick again. At the time, the dealer was...
Another Coloradan here in the Collegiate Peaks area. I've owned Ferraris for 25 years now. Currently have a 2005 F430 3 pedal in the garage that I...
The yellow tach face is much more common. I chose red myself. Yellow just seems like it's screaming at you!
I ordered my 430 in June, 2005. Still have the car. Tach color was a no cost option as was aluminum or carbon fiber trim around the air vents....
Ferrari refuses to say. It definitely varies by country. In the US, anecdotal evidence leads me to believe it's about 5% almost all of which are...
There are probably very few us who have kept their cars this long! Somehow, my car has escaped the sticky button issue so far. I have wondered why...
It was a different situation in 2005 when you could flip a new car for up to 40K profit. However, the flippers only wanted paddle spiders. The...
Gee, I bought my '05 3 pedal coupe new 8/05. It now has 31K on it. Scheduled maintenance has cost less than 1K average. I do use an independent...
First question to ask if it is a Canadian car. The Vin indicates it is a very early build. My car is 1437XX built 7/05. How many owners? The...
Like the others, I'd go with the '05. The leak is likely a rear main seal. My car developed one while under warranty. I believe it is uncommon but...
This is not true. CCBs were available from the beginning. I have an '05 bought new and they were available. I still have the option list...
I have owned a 3 pedal 430 coupe since new (15 years) which I guess attests to my satisfaction level. However, if I were in the market now, I'd...
You really need a pro to assess the damage but, from some experience, it looks like you would need a front clip for starters but you would have to...
I speak from firsthand experience on this. During the 430's production span, new cars could be flipped for a profit. This lead to buyers making...
I did it five years ago. As I recall, in addition to all the fluids, I also got all new belts, spark plugs and maybe filters like fuel for...
5, 7, and 10 made me laugh. Exotics do make a lot of noises that have been engineered out of "lesser" cars. After nearly 25 years of ownership, I...
Not sure how paddles "work better." I'm familiar with both. I've also owned a manual 430 for 15 years. It's not an easy manual to drive mainly due...
My 430 is nit quite as old as this thread! I bought it new 8-17-05. Wonder how many other one owner 430s remain? Dave
If you look at price history for regular production models over the last 35-40 years, you'll find that the bottom is typically 10 years after the...
I have a 2005 since new. Mine has ALWAYS had a whine at cruising speeds at slight throttle. It has not changed over time. I think it occurs when...
