Potential F430

Hi, I'm new to the forum and am considering a couple F430s. I was wandering if anyone has seen or know anything about these cars.

thanks in advance.

 

Link did not work onm the car.com one but the other one is over priced for todays market around $10k. You can get a 2006 with carbon ceramic brakes and CF seats withunder $5k for around $145k

Good luck

 

First link - for the 2005 F430 for $144K - worked for me but the botton link did not.

I think that $144K is pretty high for a 2005 with nearly 10K miles. I've seen similar cars for up to $10K less.

Check out this deal near me for reference. It has CC brakes, Daytona leather seats and upgraded hi-fi sound as well.

You trust those dealers?
I have no relationship with them, just saying....worth getting advice from others knowledgeable. Great price though.

 

I have just gone through this and stumbled on many 430s in the upper 120s and 130s range, but after many weeks of aggressively looking for a car, I decided that I did not want to take a chance with cars that are not warrantiable.
A 430 engine is upward of 50k$ and only the factory can warranty a used 430 like a 2005.
I eventually went with a dealer CPO 2005/5k miles/CC/Daytonas etc and including a Power warranty (not powertrain) which covers engine/transmission and some electrical and which is renewable up to 10 years for about 2000$/year.
I paid 147k$ for mine and I have peace of mind regarding the engine and transmission.
If thats not an issue, then there are a lot of cars under 140k, but for me they were not worth the headache because I do drive my cars like they are supposed to be driven.
Good luck.
