    I can't decide between two 430 spiders so I thought I'd come ask the folks who've been so helpful in the past.

    2005 Silverstone, decent options (nav, electric, shields etc.) 6k miles.

    2006 Argento, same options plus Daytonas, HiFi and Challenge wheels, 2k miles.

    $5k difference in price. I favor Silverstone over Argento but like both.

    And if anyone has a 430 in these colors feel free to post, particularly the Argento as I've not seen that in real life. I come from a Titanio 360.

    Thoughts?

    Assuming = maintenance history O would go with the one with the Daytonas and the Challenge Wheels..........only because those 2 options would be on my list :) ;)

    Both have impeccable service history; although the Silverstone would get a major before delivery.

    Carbon fiber? no, neither, which is a shame, but i'm not seeing much of that at my price point.

    If one looks at it purely from the standpoint of "value", the 06 has to get the nod...it's a year newer, has additional expensive options, and significantly fewer miles, so should certainly be worth more than $5k more. Having said that, I don't think "value" is (or should be) in the top 5 criteria for anyone buying a 430. I would suggest you really need to see a 430 in Argento "in the flesh" before you make a decision, even if you have to travel to do it. There would be no joy at all in watching the car backing off the transporter and thinking, "Oh...I didn't think it would look like that".
