    Well this post is a long time coming but I wanted to thank all the users on this forum for their input and advice. The information provided was invaluable in acquiring what is quite possibly the absolute perfect Ferrari for me. I spent about a year analyzing and researching looking for exactly what I wanted and ultimately everything came together

    I purchased a 2 owner high mileage Tour de France blue F430 Berlinetta with camel Daytona seats, blue color inserts blue leather dash, yellow calipers and all the books including a signed album of pictures from the factory of her being assembled !

    I preferred a higher mileage vehicle because I determined I am a driver - this car will NOT sit in the garage but will run wild and free on the back roads of the southwest just as she was designed to do.

    I look forward to meeting many new friends along the way and I am always available to meet for drives

    I plan to attend the national event in Scottsdale in November and will participate in all the long touring drives.

    Thank you again for everyone's help from the forum. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

    We will see you in Arizona. I will probably bring my FF instead of my 430 spider.

    Beautiful car. Curious what you consider "high mileage".

    I don't consider 32k high mileage. 44k - sort of / kind of. In any case I'm jealous of your color scheme - I consider it perfect. Blue was my first choice, but when you run across an exceptional car you have to snap it up regardless of color.
