FERRARI F430 F1 Spider Convertible - black on red! Rare color combo

2005 Ferrari 430 Spider Description

speak from experience!

It's a beautiful car, it’s a fun car to drive, it’s reliable and it’s affordable and will turn heads EVERYWHERE you go!

Most of all its FAST and sounds amazing, not to mention actually gets GREAT gas mileage.

Color combo is gorgeous and VERY RARE, High Gloss Black with Red leather interior!

But before you shop for the "best deal", let me educate you on the model so you know what to look for...

Don’t trust that people have done repairs unless they can show you a receipt and at what miles they did it at!!! Just saying it has a new clutch, may not mean it does...

1. You will need a CLUTCH for any pre-owned F1! This car was designed with the Ferrari F1 paddle shift manual transmission. It is fun to drive and was built to be driven in "manual", however many people drive in "auto mode" which will wear a clutch faster. A new clutch job will cost you $8,000 and last you about 5+ years or more. Mine has a brand new clutch and throw out bearing and I just had the computers kiss point re-adjusted recently $350.

2. The F1 clutch relay will cause issues as it heats. A new relay does not solve this. I have the upgraded relay already installed with NO shift errors!! This is a $500 job.

3. You will need an F1 pump and this is a $3,500 job. Mine is brand new and is the Recambi upgraded model.

4. You will need both front and rear, both left and right O2 Sensors replaced. This car has FOUR of them. Mine are new!

5. HEAT and AC! This is a big one. Many control modules get shorted out. Mine was replaced and ALL heat and AC works perfect, blows ice cold.

6. Among all this. I have new tires and new brakes. This car NEEDS NOTHING!

7. Paint, body and leather...
When buying any used car. It can be sad to have to live with swirl marks, scratches, dents, chips, door dings and worn dirty leather. Makes buying a new car feel like not such a new car for you... Well many used cars are just washed before you buy. Mine has been BEYOND well taken care of. Let me explain. 1st, I am a fanatic about black cars. I have 5 black cars. I have color sanded and buffed this car twice. Once right when I bought it to give it that perfect shine and, once again about a year ago. There is NOT a single door ding nor dent. There are NO swirl marks. This paint looks like a glass mirror and I just had a $500 detail done to sell the car in amazing condition.
Now let’s talk about the leather. Most light colored leather on a used car is pretty worn out and dirty. When I bought this car I had ALL leather steam cleaned and conditioned to look BRAND NEW. I then had my detailer care for it with PH balanced products and after the $500 detail I just had done, they shampooed the leather, carpets and treated it all. You will get in and think that no one has ever been inside this car. As it still looks like new! In fact, the entire car is covered with a car cover and in my garage and after spending $500 on a detail, I won’t be driving it so it will be perfectly clean for the buyer.

8. Amenities. Of course all luxury cars come with all the bells and whistles. Mine has a few options you will not see many others have. First it does have the front touch screen stereo with DVD, MP3 and Bluetooth for hands free speaker phone and music from your phone to the stereo. It also has a Back-up Camera! To look factory, the stereos touch-screen wallpaper has been changed to a Ferrari logo as well! In the rear are TWO MBQUART amps custom installed with black suede to cover all wires. Each light up red to match the interior and have chrome Ferrari emblems on them. Between them is the factory red leather subwoofer enclosure with new FOCAL subwoofers installed and in each door panel are new MBQUART separates to give this Ferrari an amazing sound to the stereo over the cheap paper speakers Ferrari includes. This was a $10,000 install. I also installed the full Ferrari factory Carbon Fiber dash and center console kit $8,000. I have had custom made (by the same company that makes the mats for Rolls Royce) two black sheep skin floor mats that are thick and luxuriously soft. These were $800 alone!!! Last, I installed the Novotec smoked light set with all four rear taillights, center brake light and side markers for $8,000! On top of all that I have black and chrome with red lip GnG 20" rims in front and 22” rims in back all with brand new tires ($8,000 set) that make this car look amazing.

That is over $35,000 in add-ons!

Now, please DONT BUY FROM A STEALERSHIP. They have NO past knowledge of the car they are selling you. You will NEVER know who owned it and how well they took care of it. Dealers basically pick up a car at an auction, an auction dumps any trade-in that an owner could not sell themselves or drove into the ground. They detail it and mark it up $10-20k to you… You will be buying a mystery that can be an expensive mistake.
