    The 430 is not new (2005)but I am a first time Ferrari owner. I found a sweet 430 out in LA that I could not live without. Her new home is in Longview TX. Just east of Tyler and about one hour west of Shreveport . I would like to put a couple thousand miles a year on her and see how things go. If there are festivities to be enjoyed with the Ferrari Club in the Dallas area I would like to partake when possible .
    Looking forward to meeting the members.

    If you really feel like spending some time with her and putting on some miles, we are having the Ferrari Festival in Houston this November. Fun event and great cars.

    Car arrived in ok condition. I use a company out of FL called "get her done movers". Driver was great. But the truck was not maintained and the center lift would not lower all the way which made getting my car off without scraping the bottom difficult. Took us about an hour to figure out how to accomplish this. I would not use them again. They may be a few dollars less than the others but the risk is just to high for these cars.
    Could not make the event in Dallas "darn it". Perhaps next time.
