I'm posting here (in addition to the "for sale" section) to let you guys know that I have decided to accept several types of cars as trades on my 2006 F430. The picture link is bellow.

I'll consider trading for a: Carrara S, Panamera S or Turbo, 2010+ Twin Turbo or Turbo S, Audi S5, Aston Martin DB9 or Vanquish, Audi R8.

I'm just looking for something that "I" consider more "drivable" on a daily basis. If you, or any of your friends are interested in such a trade please let me know. I'm pretty wide open on possibilities.

love your RS!!

Even trade for an 06 C2S?

Riz

Why not try a car dealership?

HC22

What is your asking price on the car? Thanks.

I am asking $155K now. Not that any cares (or that it matters), but I have (including the stupid premium I paid) close to $300K in it. 155K is a very fair price, regardless of what I paid.

PJorgen

Interesting that you are concerned about "driveability". I love my '09 C2s and if you were to offer me a straight-across trade I wouldn't do it. Assuming that I couldn't turn around and sell the 430 and buy another Porsche.

No offense to Ferrari, but Porsches are wonderful cars.

Philip,

F430 is very street drivable. Why take a big loss? Treat yourself by driving it more.

nazhat

dude, WTH, drive the damn car.

Edgy01

I don't know much about the newer Ferrari automobiles. However, don't the 430s come with a V8 engine? They sound terrific. Redline around 9000?

Best of luck with your trade. Compared to a Carrera, I would think that $155K would hold it's value better.

I would keep the F430.

Is this a joke?

FrankyV

Okay, I will call your bluff and trade you my 2008 C2S even up.

alexb76

If ur really serious. I'd suggest instead of taking as huge of a hit, and since you already got a GT3 RS just get urself a used RS4 or M3. Definitely more drivable than F430 and yet you'd have the car you've invested so mucc into.

I did a few laps in F430 and it was one of the best sounding cars I've ever been in and it was incredibly balanced!

It's a great car. You should keep it and enjoy it. Get a C2/C2S if you want. Not sure why you would, as you already have a GT3. If you must get rid of it, why not sell it. I'm sure you would not take a 100k hit. Hope you find what you are looking for.
