    I was talking to this guy who owns an f430 and he said that his is an f430 berlinetta. he told me that the f430 berlinetta is separate from the base f430 and that the berlinetta variant is one step down from the f430 scuderia. Is this true? and if it is, whats the difference between the base model and the berlinetta f430?

    edit: he claims that his f430 is more valuable than a "regular" f430 because his is a berlinetta

    There is the F430, which came in Berlinetta (Little Saloon in Italian) and Spider (convertible). This was the only F430 model, other than the race car models till the 430 (no F) Scuderia then the 16M. Ferrari made small improvements from 2005 to 2007 as they always do, but 2008 made some major updates (in the past they would have most likely put an M or something after the name, but didn't on the F430 since they didn't change much visually except for removing the passenger door lock). The Scuderia, is a very different car from the 430 as it is more track-focused with many performance upgrades and luxury deletes, like comparing a 911 Carrera to a 911 GT3.

    From a value perspective in order and assuming appropriate mileage for the year and a similar condition/maintenance/options (not including OEM manuals here);

    2005 to 2006 Berlinetta
    2005 to 2006 Spider
    2007 Berlinetta
    2007 Spider
    2008 Berlinetta
    2008 Spider
    2009 Berlinetta
    2009 Spider
    2008 Scuderia
    2009 Scuderia
    2009 16M

    Don’t forget the Spider which is more valuable than the Spyder.

    Corey got it. To my knowledge Berlinetta just means coupe. My F430 is currently for sale and I use Berlinetta as the title; mostly to differentiate my ad from the other F430 ads. Whoever said it was some kind of special trim is bs'ing you.
