New member here and need some feedback on a F430 I am interested in. 2007 F430 Red with tan interior 16,995 miles Vin ZFFEW59A370154405 Paint and interior are flawless. It has aftermarket exhaust (fab speed) It also has what appears to be aftermarket wheels, and aftermarket carbon fiber air intake. What will the aftermarket items due to value of car? What would a reasonable purchase price be for this vehicle? Is mileage considered low or high?
Average mileage. Aftermarket kills the value but typically exhaust is not a reduction in value. Lots of 430s have aftermarket exhaust. The stock exhaust has tendencies to rattle also. 07 spider probably 125k range Also prepare for ~$5-10k per year in maintenance.
I don't have an F430 but 5-10k a year in maintenance? Sorry I think that's wrong. Also the car will be significantly less than 125 because of the aftermarket wheels. 125 sounds like top of the market or maybe average asking prices.
Things break on older cars. An 2007 is almost a 10 year old car....LOL Things break like Fuel pumps, hoses etc... Annual fluid changes and just things wearing because of age.. I would say 5k a year is about right.
$5k is more than safe to build a reserve for years of ownership. Some years are only ~$1500 for annual service Some years have a few issues to fix, couple thousand $ Some years are major service like clutch My car has been cheaper to maintain than my 1,000 hp corvette
