430 Searching for a F430 - Does someone know this car?

Hey guys,

I am Dennis from Germany and the last 10 years I was a Porsche driver. I've owned 997 GT3, 991 Gt3, 981 Gt4 and some other older vehicles.

My childhood dream was to own someday a Ferrari. This dream might come true and I am searching the last 3-4 months for a F430. Especially a black, yellow one with racing seats.

With this search criterias I found a car in Belgium. The seller seems nice and had given some infos.
As it is my first Ferrari and I am not super common in Italian Sportcars I just wanted to give it a try if someone knows the car, the previous owner, knows the selling shop, or is located near Namur in Belgium to have a look on it.

I travelled two times across Europe and spend more than 3k to visit "perfect advertised" cars and always came back with a sad face as the condition of the cars where not nearly as described.

However here are some infos about the choosen F430:

• Link: https://www.spiritoflegendcars.be/details-voiture.php?web=1&car=592
• Belgium car
• 2 Previous owners
• First owner is Matty Zadnikar (tried to contact him, no reaction)
• As advertised: No accident
• Full Ferrari Service history (with some gaps, but the car has low mileage)

I know chances are really low the get infos but I wanted to give it a try.
Also having the VIN number if someone wants to know it.

Hopefully - sooner than later - I am joining this chat as a Ferrari owner

Have a good one and greetings from Germany!

 

Simon! Many thanks for that hint - Will do that

 

Hi! Thanks i already started a thread in the section.

Thanks for your concerns. I am aware about the issue with sticky buttons. I always thought it is a matter of time as the material in the softlack is going to be worse from time to time?

I got the VIN and a found a guy in the US who works at Ferrari (Reddit) and he double checked the VIN in the system. I cant verify his statements as he didnt send any screenshots but he told me: "Seems everything okay"... But with your statement I am really concerened about the mileage. Also there is a service gap between 2011-2017 where the car onloy drove live 3k kilometres.

... This is pain

best Dennis

 

Fully understand that! I would have also a better feeling when the car has double the mileage and double the service.

Car has - for my taste - a great spec, as I defintely want racing seats.

 

Hi Mario! Thanks for the infos!

Right now I think i will spectate the market and wait for a car that better suits me. To be honest, the linked car here looks stunning. many of you had mixed reccomondations in private message. whether i should buy or leave it.

many thanks to the user "bay" who offered to get visiting the car for me in advance.

Need to sort some things and maybe wait a little more.

also many thanks to DutchFerrari and connect to Freddan.

Hopefully i will join the f430 club in the next months / very latest in 2024

 

Thanks mate! Really appreciate the help
