What do you think is a realistic offer on this F430?

messed up on your offer. i think 160 is fair. i wouldnt go any higher than that. you also need to know if any updates need to be done while under warranty. mine had around 7 done. take your money walking if it doesnt work, you can find something cheaper if you are patient. i waited for 8 months to land my baby

Anyways, this is the F430 I have my eye on right now:

The owner of the dealer said I can make an offer that I think is more appropriate because honestly I think this specific car is a tad bit overpriced. Then again, I know it all comes down to what options it has, condition, etc.

Down the street from this dealer, DC Motors has an 06 F430 spyder with 2300 miles going for about $180k.

Do you think it is fair to offer $175k for the Gray Ingrid? I can obtain the options list if necessary. Thanks for the help.

I paid $163k for a 2007 Coupe (red/tan) that had more options that the grey one on your link. The 2007 one I bought only had 1200 miles on it and a lot more carbon fiber. $180 is a bit to HIGH in my experience. I was in the market and that's the market price at that time (about 2 months ago). Seems like the car you are looking for is a consigned car and the owner is holding out for a higher amount. I would keep looking. $160 is a fair offer, but not a dime more.

Well the offer we made on Saturday was actually at $160k but the owner has since then, not replied. Not my problem. I'm fine if he doesn't want our business. All I gotta say is good luck asking $190k for that thing. Off to DC Motors we go...
