I am considering buying an F430 from a dealer in Florida. The car is lower mileage and in excellent condition. It has a clear Florida title. The car was originally sold in Dubai and then imported here to the USA a few years a go. Do F430's loose any value in cases like this? Anything else I should be concerned about?
There are so many F430 in the market,daily and monthly listing. If you have the history from Dubai and when It started its life in the US then maybe. But that big black hole, would be a problem sometimes. My suggestion is just look for local car or state side.
Bad idea IMHO. Find a US car. May be a great car at a great price but may become an albatross to try to sell down the road.
Any car built for a market outside the USA will take a hit on resale (unless extremely rare or never sold in the USA), even a Canadian market car, which is essentially the same as USA. You may also have issues with recall work, etc, if they come up. Unless the previous owner is willing to take a nice haircut on the price, I'd move on.
I guess there is a little more to the story. The car was originally sold in the USA. Then a buyer from Dubai purchased it and shipped over to Dubai. Now it is back in the USA. Does this change things at all?
If the ppi turns out well, it’s priced right, and you plan on keeping it go for it. If you plan to sell eventually and not take a bath I wouldn’t. Ferrari buyers are an interesting bunch and it’s not an easy thing to sell private party. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I agree with Hugh and MD Leo. Too many 430's here on the market, and some really nice ones, to try and save a buck on a car that has what most will consider a "checkered" past upon resale. To add... I've had a lot cars that I thought I would never sell. The operative word "had" is the point here. Eventually you probably will want or need to sell it.
