    Wondering if any of you Miami folks have had eyes on this car recently? My gut tells me it's likely a basket case based on the price, but I love the specs. I'm considering driving down from Jacksonville this weekend, but don't really want to waste the time if there's no chance of it being in the condition it should be. I'm mostly concerned abut the dash leather above the steering wheel. If anyone has seen it I'd really appreciate some insight. Thanks!

    Sorry I don't live closer to Miami or I would check it out.

    Price isn't that low. 2005 30K miles and F1. May be worth a look. Service records? Get a PPI.

    Probably not necessarily a basket case as you say. However, as you point out, some odd
    looking leather on the dash, but this could be a trick of the light and it is always best to
    look at it before proceeding.

    The main reason why its priced less than the yellow on in their inventory is the mileage
    which is ticking close to 30K miles. The bigger question here is if the car has it 30K mile
    service up to date. Request any and all service records and if there is no record of 30K mile
    service, you may want to start getting pricing on that before doing anything.

    If these questions are answered to your satisfaction and you still need to have someone
    look at it, feel free to contact me and I may be able to go take a look.

    The mileage doesn't concern me at all, but I do agree thats a factor in the price. I asked the dealer about service records and he gave me a run around answer about the car being serviced, but the only records are Carfax. Obviously that doesn't cut it. I'll take a look at the 30k mile service requirements, but I don't foresee much on an F430 I wouldn't do myself aside from service that requires the SD3. Thanks for the offer, but like you said I need to do some more research first.
