    It would certainly be a part of my purchase decision.

    The dealers as posted above,made it VERY hard to buy one.

    It is what it is......

    If this helps, I purchased mine in 2014 because I wanted to drive a manual. I belive it was last of a breed and a particular driving experience. So, I purchased it as a keeper (fortunately before prices really took off). I believe (and think others do too) that the design direction of Mid engine 8cylinder Ferraris changed with the 458 and that the 430 6MT was the end of a run (and as pointed out here, not many were built). I feel my 430 6mt has more in common with my 328 than a 458, just as a 458 has more in common with a 488. OP asking a premium to purchase the last and finest of an era.

    Cuoio is much darker.

    Great looking car. Doesn't get more Ferrari than Red/Beige with 3 pedals :)

    And of course Ferrari, and the dealers, knew there would be much more profit in the long run, taking care of, and repairing the F-1 transmissions. From what I've heard, the dual disc F1's are even more expensive to maintain/rebuild. Talked with a Ferrari owner last year, he told me a friend of his, had a California, the F1 crapped out big time, and the total repair bill was right at $35,000, OUCH!! That really gets you upside down on the value of a car, big time.

    Absolutely gorgeous car. Just perfect. GLWS. Nothing more visceral than a 6 speed gated Ferrari in my humble opinion. It;'s just a different deal. Worth every penny.

    I know you are not seeking advise, but mine is don't sell it as you might regret doing so in the future. I have tried 3 times to buy my 2007 F430 MT loaded with CF back from its owner. He at time will post pictures here and my loss seems greater. I am very happy he is on this forum and is taking care of it the way I did!! I had a 458 and it just wasn't the same. GLWS

    I think your price is very reasonable. Especially considering miles. Might i suggest more photos? If youre still motivated, id hire a pro photographer. Sometimes sexy women in skimpy clothing helps too. Then again, the curves on an F430 are hard to compete with. Good luck!

    185 is a bargain. Desireable color combo and miles. I can attest to the thrill of the manual 430. Like nothing else. Car wise.

    A year later and this car won’t sell. If you look at the F430 being sold on various sites for over $175k you will note that have been in the market for months. I’ve been seeing the same things with GT3s. Although these cars are amazing and unique with 6 MT, the metal isn’t moving a people are buying more F1 and PDK. Crap, there’s currently over 280 F430 for sale in the US with F1 starting at $80k; your going to tell me this twice the car because it has a manual?
