    Both are well equipped. For me it then comes down to color only

    I'd pick the white. Don't see many of them and the interior goes well
    I'm not much on red interiors and that might be harder to sell

    Thank you, I'm partial to the white also, and not so much to the red interior. :) Definitely good to get other people's feedback on the color combo! I was also wondering about options list and '08 vs '07 (ceramic brakes for instance) for example.

    The white one is also a manual unlike the automatic gray one! 😜

    In all seriousness, I prefer the gray one and I'm biased against FL cars.

    White one , hands down because of the color. Ps it's not manual.

    Grey one: Both same price, both have F1 transmission (look at interior pics), Grey one Less miles, and a year younger. Neither one mentions replacement of headers, however and the '08 may still be under factory warranty for emissions (8 years).

    Grigio.
    Depending on the exact manufacture dates, models from October or nov 2007 (build date not sales date) have a host of improvements including CCB as standard. Other threads outline exactly what the improvements are : mainly tweaks but IMHO worth having.

    Both cars look beautiful - I just find Grigio understated elegance

    I'd go for the gray one and almost did except I found a black one in much better condition. The gray/red was also Ferrari's F430 press release combo. By all means check them out in person. In my search I found several issues with cars that looked perfect in pictures. Enjoy the hunt and best of luck to you.

    Grigio no question.
    It has many more desirable options such as carbon fiber for driving zone, Bose stereo, challenge rear grill, and carbon ceramic brakes.

    White f430s are rare and look fantastic in person. I would choose that if you like the color. But the gray 2008 is a better value

    Since black isn't an option, go for white, when you look at a car the first thing you see is the color. When I was shopping I passed on some nicely appointed cars because of color.

    Actually, just seen the interior. Go white. lol Not sure what color red that is.... Here is a shot of mine. I feel to pull off red interior you really have to know what you are doing.

    Grigio is a better deal--white is pretty.

    The CCM brakes on the Grigio car would decide it for me. I have a 2005 Grigio Rosso similar to that with steels and while I love it and wouldn't spend the money to upgrade to CCMs, if I was buying again they would be a must have. BTW the Rosso interior feels awesome to sit in. Makes the car a special event every time. Either way, enjoy!
