Hello all. I'm looking to purchase a 2007 F430 and was wondering if any of you can help... Well I would like to know what options to look for in the car, what is a must have? Also I have been hearing that the 430's will be taking a hit on price because of the 458 convertible. Is that still to come? Any info would be appreciated. Also the car I found was a 2007 F430 coupe with 7600 miles and finished in Rosso Corsa over a Beige Leather Interior. Asking price is $145,000 is that a good number? What kind of offer can I give? Please help. Below is a brief rundown of what the car has. Please help guys. Thanks

Sounds like a great deal!

I haven't seen those numbers on that high of a spec - you did well finding her.

No prior damage? PPI?

it is highly optioned but i don't think it's a particularly good price. about average. if you can get it for 135-40 i think it would be good. Of course, if it's the one you want and you are going to keep it a couple years, i wouldn't argue over 5k too much. Offer them 138.

KB- Welcome to Ferrari Life and that must have been a very expensive F430 when she first appeared. Price does seem a might high, but it is low mileage and optioned out the kazoo. If it is perfect and checks out well by a professional, could be the car of a lifetime.

Odds are the car is on consignment, so there may be some wiggle room in the price, like Ed said. Offers and counteroffers are the norm in this kind of deal.

Best of luck ... I thought it was a spider as you brought up the 458 spider in comparison.

I haven't seen a spider priced that low.
