430 Finally... a properly spec’d Manual F430

I agree, its absolutely amazing but I have the same car minus the seats, (tan daytona seats and interior), less miles and I saved well over 200k. I know these cars are special but I can think of a few ways to spend an extra 200k plus for a few extra options. But, sweet for sure.

 

Ahh. Well that makes a bit more sense.

 

Nice, beautiful, but 360K nice with 56K KM on it? Hopeful seller for sure.

 

For 370k, I'll convert mine to manual and install the CF seats, and send it to Australia!

 

Wow I absolutely love it, the spec that is.

There was a RC manual for sale here recently with sports seats but in crema (not my thing but I know a lot of people like it). It was a 2008 and had the later carbon pack which includes a carbon steering wheel with red 12 o'clock band, and a carbon gearknob with red stripe, Challenge wheels, and of course being a 2008 it had CCMs. A very rare car.

 

The steering wheel is on the wrong side though. Factory error?

 

I'm not far from Australia and a black manual spider just sold here for 200k. (Australian $) This one, while nice, is kinda out there price wise. But if someone wants it then the prices only go up. What was that recent article? "Buy one now before they double in price". Very rare car. (spec not withstanding) Only circa 200 RHD manual coupes ever made.

 

the carbon seats are more difficult to find ,they came special order on 05/06 f 430 great spec on f430

 

A red ext/tan inside 3 pedal 430 is/was/not sure anymore my dream car.

I have driven an F430 F1 for an entire week and it can draw circles against my 360 3 pedal (looks aside)
However, with the 3 pedal F430 at x2 the price elsewhere or +$80K more locally, to me it will become a garage queen.
I drive my 360 2 days a week to work when the weather permits and all the time on the weekends.

So if I decided to spend more $ to upgrade to another F car I will be looking at a 599 GTB or 458 and drive the hell out of it
The F430 3 pedal is losing its credentials as a driver's car but quickly becoming one for a collector.

My 2 cents

 

We have 7 nation wide here and 2 have sold recently. Both only on the market very briefly. Sadly when I look at mine I think about mileage and don't drive it as much as I used to. But when I do drive it I am always amazed at what a true drivers car it really is.

 

I have a 430 manual with carbon sports seats and a 430 manual spider with Daytonas. Daytonas more comfortable. My spider also has carbon driver zone, crema leather roll hoops, yellow tacho. I'd take the wheels from this car. Contrasting stitching doesn't bother me. I'd take a factory hi fi upgrade. Not the carbon seats. I'd take full carbon interior pack including gear knob, there have been 430 Spider manuals on Fchat with that - very nice. This car doesn't have those

 

Probably not anywhere near the biggest mistake ever made during the assembly of an Italian car.

 

My full carbon interior and engine, carbon wheel and shift knob, manual spider with electric Daytona’s, CCB’s, and hi-fi stereo. The full carbon interior is my favorite option because you see it while driving, CCB’s second, carbon engine 3rd.

Nice spec.

 

All it needs is carbon brakes.

 

Very nice! Love the full carbon.

These are pix of my 430 in another thread here, will dig some out. My spec is not unusual in the UK. I didn't realise gated 430s were less well specced in the US. Normally it's the other way round, US cars have more options as standard and better spec.

 

This one, which is the first I found doing a search just now on a UK sale site, is a typical UK spec. Daytonas, contrasting stitching, carbon driver zone. Carbon gear knob much rarer.

I find the Daytonas in mine super comfortable. With the 575, you feel the ribbing in the Daytonas more on a long journey.

Wish I had the carbon gearshift.

 

Factory offered 360 carbon fibre bits for the engine bay as well!
