    Price seems to good to be true. Red/tan '06 Spider with 22k miles, 2 owner, no accidents, all service records - $120,500. Oh, and did I mention it's a gated manual! What am I missing here other than this dealer also has an '11 458 for $85k (granted it has almost 100k miles on it, but still) and an '11 California for $92k with 18,000 miles. Something's got to be wrong with these cars, right? If the deal is legit, it's probably gone already.

    The 2006 might be a good deal or overpriced for what it is. Do your research, get an objective PPI, and put it through its paces.

    Wow. Get it checked out. That may be worth it even if it needs a few things. From what I see, as long as it's not anything major, the 430 repair prices are pretty damn reasonable. The lack of F1 helps too. That sounds like a stellar deal.

    the 06 sounds like its priced right- i know the asking prices on a 3 pedal are high but how many sell at that?

    at 20k miles its likely needing a clutch very soon- and if thats the case then the price to me seems right- all depends on what work it needs-

    the suns almost out here today-- i may go and wash mine to take it out .. thats IF the sun st stays out here..

    I think I know the dealer your looking at. I was looking at some cars they had too. They have very bad reviews and seem to be very shady. If you do biz w them, make damn sure you get a PPI from a VERY reputable wrench.

    Source for gated manual clutches needing replacement "very soon" after 20k miles?

    A 2006 430 Manual spider that was listed on fchat sold recently for $170k and it had under 18k miles. The owner listed it at a lower initial price than most of the dealers gated 430's and it sold pretty quickly. The dealers seem to hold out for top dollar since there are so few 430 Manuals on the market, like around 5 coupes for sale across the US, and a few more spiders at any given time.

    Also, in the listing for this car did you actually see a picture of the interior to confirm it is actually a gated car? As is often the case, dealers will call it a manual even if it is F1.

    The 458 they have listed is an old Vegas track car that's made the rounds a bit. First time I sniffed it the seller was asking $110k for >100k miles. Damn sure this is same car. Wish I could remember the dealer website but it's not the easiest to find as they don't get their listings on the big sites like cars.com very often. Last I saw this site was about 3 months ago.
