    Hello Everyone,
    Looking to purchase my first Ferrari and I'm looking for a person that really knows Ferrari's to test drive the car I'm almost ready to purchase. Not many Ferrari owners in my area ( Green Bay, Wi. ). Any suggestions would be great. I would pay them for there time with the right individual.

    Thanks Tom

    Greyboxer,
    Great question. We got snow on the fields but roads are clear but have a dusting salt residue. I'm getting close to pull the trigger on the F430 but man its a big ass decision spending 6 figures. Pretty scary thats why I'm looking for driver who knows what the hell he is looking at and can self analyze the car driving it. You know everything a risk but you try to limit some of the variables. Wish I could find a list of Ferrari owners in Wisconsin.
    Thanks Tom

    Test driver? You want a Ferrari mechanic to look it over, not a test driver.

    Unfortunately not many F430's are commanding 6 figures these days - just an FYI.

    WHO DARES SUMMON MEEEE?!?!?

    Oh, it's you. Hi Matt.

    I live in Wisconsin. I know the 360 platform quite well. I know more about the F430 than most. I might know about the car. It wouldn't be the first Ferrari I've driven in the snow! *Hides in bomb shelter from purists*

    I sent you a PM and would be more than happy to help.

    Looked a lot F430 from 75K to 120K most of them under 90 K needed work. Pictures are nice till you look at them in person. There were some in Texas in the low 80's but I'm not take a chance even with a PPI and have it shipped.
