I live in NYC and at a new york area ferrari (authorized dealer) I found the following consignment cars for sale : 2005 f430 f1, titanium/navy, 6300 miles, ASK 219k 2006 f430 f1, red/tan, carbon ceramic brakes, 7800 miles, ASK 220K 2007 f430 f1, black/tan, 2100 miles, ASK 235k At another dealer (not official) in middle america I found for sale : 2007 f430 f1, black/tan, 1525 miles, ASK 224.5k What do u think of the prices, especially the big discrepancy in the black f430? I'm headed to the Ferrari factory (July 14) on a very special tour, courtesy a friend of mine that has 5 Ferraris. I'm going to be salivating more once I return. Will post some pix of areas that I'm allowed to take pictures at. Please help me/advice me on the cars above. Should I just wait it out for prices to go softer in the near future?? Thank You!! aLV
If you are looking at Coupes and not Spiders, then you should be able to find quite a few nice ones for the $195k - $210k range. Price range assumes you're looking at cars without the Carbon Ceramic Brakes option (which was a major cost add-on). I own a black/tan 2006 F430 F1 Coupe with 3300 miles on it and I'm thinking this is roughly the market price these days for my car. (and sorry, mine is not for sale). Make sure you get a detailed PPI - even if you buy it from an authorized dealer. Did you see this black 2005 car in FerrariAds by a fellow fchatter? http://www.ferrarichat.com/ferrariads/showproduct.php?product=1402&cat=2 Good luck.
You should be able to buy a nice 2005 with moderate miles for under 200K, some have sold under 190K. Dave
Take a look at "PCH" car here on Fchat, his price beats all those cars and has more options. Good luck with the search. Robert
