    Just starting the process of reacquainting myself with the prancing horse after selling our beloved but somewhat bedeviled F355GTS 10 years ago.
    Love the beauty of a NA engine and a 3 pedal gated Ferrari. And really appreciate no belt service
    Concern over F1 transmission comes from Personal dissatisfaction with early single clutch BMW M3 and Audi R8.
    This popped up as to good to be true.

    The only other F430 Is priced a bit higher and makes one think about the dual clutch cars like our 911 Targa and Boxster S

    First question to ask if it is a Canadian car. The Vin indicates it is a very early build. My car is 1437XX built 7/05. How many owners? The clutch replacement is unusual at that mileage. My car has 31K on it, still original clutch. Could have been abused though some people just don't drive well.

    What's going on with the left side of the gauge cluster? Some sort of delamination?

    It's been mentioned on here a few times; seems to be some sort of fungal growth. It wipes off with no residue- just need to open up the cluster to get at it.

    You say - "This popped up as to good to be true."
    The ad says "OVERPRICED by $44,000"
    HUH?

    The algorithm likely works on all 430 prices rather than treats 6MTs as a separate price category.

    This red 05 coupe for sale currently at Foreign Auto Connect has an odd story when you start digging. If you search the VIN on Ferrari Chat or on google, you will find the thread I attached below started by Roy Cats in 2011 about this coupe with same VIN allegedly stolen and taken across the US/Canadian border. This thread also says this car had a tan interior at the time. This is my guess for why this car is still on the market at a price that “seems to good to be true” for a factory 6MT F430.
