    Hi,

    I was wondering if there is much difference between a european and a US F430.
    Aside from the lights and plate support, do the engine, pollution etc are the same?

    I am about to move to the US, I'd like to take my f430 with me and probably sell it there after a while, so I want to know if it'll be doable.

    Thanks!

    It is done all the time. It might be cheaper to sell the 430 and rebuy it in USA. It costs to ship the car, time for legal importation hoops to jump, and then USA buyers will brand the car a euro and it will be worth less than a USA car eventhough it is likely to be a better Ferrari. I have owned 2 euros and they have been the best Ferraris I have owned.

    Here is a legal importer/converter who does a great job. They did one of my Ferraris. George is the guy you want to talk to. There is more federal/state hoop jumping than actual car changes. Get the extra BAR label for California too. It will not cost a whole mot more and you will be able to sell to more people later.
