Up for sale is my F430. I've owned the car for 3 years and have maintained it with open check book, just like its previous owner who is my friend. I've known this car since almost brand new. The car features a beautiful Grigio Titano exterior and a black interior. It has all the features you'd expect from an F430, including the F-1 shifter, power steering, brakes, seats and mirrors.

The car was never raced or 0-60'd which is important as it is usually the case with younger drivers and causes real damage in the long run. This car was always driven the proper way, which includes setting the tranny to neutral waiting for a green light or in traffic.

Most recent services done on the car are:

In Oct of 2012 the car got minor service including changing the front brakes and rotors.

In Jan of 2013 the car got its last major service, including a brand new clutch. (over $10K)

All service is documented and was performed at Ferrari of Ft. Lauderdale.

The stereo in the car was upgraded to include Navigation and Bluetooth (sliding monitor with touch screen), The work was performed by a professional shop recommended by the Ferrari dealer and all cable work was done while keeping the original plugs in the event you want to go back to the Ferrari stereo which btw is included with the car. Also included are the original Ferrari toolbox and the Ferrari electric air pump as well as two (2) covers: the original red Ferrari cover and an additional custom cover made of thicker material that I put over the red cover to prevent door dings, etc.

There is a minor blemish to the carfax, on 05/20/2012 my neighbor didn't see my car getting out the garage and backed into me. The damage was extremely minor as it was at parking lot speed. The rear bumper of his SUV hit my driver side fender and caused a 5" ding in the fender and scratched the front left light. The repair was done by Executive Autobody and all parts were replaced (not repaired) by original Ferrari parts: left front fender and front light. Then the fender was painted and blend was performed on the hood and bumper. That's all there was to it and none of the chassis, wheel or anything beyond the skin was harmed or touch in this accident, so technically this car is accident free with a tiny blemish on car fax. All information is available to the buyer.

Current condition of the car is that it's missing the right tow hook cover on the front bumper (its a small 2x2 cap) that someone had stolen while parked, it has a bubble on the right front tire which needs to be replaced and there is a hairline crack on the inner front bumper air intake (the black area). I spoke to Executive Autobody and they told me that they can do the repair for approx. $500, the front tire is about $380 so consider that the car needs $880 to be perfectly mint.

This is an excellent car and runs and drives 100%. I am selling it to the highest and best. If you want to get more pictures or the carfax please contact me.

This car fully serviced and ready for its new owner. The car is located in FL and can be seen anytime.

Ferrari to reveal California-based 149M on February 12

Mon, 03 Feb 2014

The updated, turbocharged Ferrari California might be the Prancing Horse's worst-kept secret ever. The long-rumored car was spotted testing last summer at the Italian dreammaker's Fiorano test track with the unmistakable whistle of a forced-induction engine, and Ferrari is now teasing the reveal of its "149M Project" on February 12. Because that the original codename for the California was the F149, the new car is almost certainly the refreshed version.
The exact engine under the hood is still a mystery, but it is rumored to be a tuned version of the 3.8-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 found in the Maserati Quattroporte with 523 horsepower and 524 pound-feet of torque, an engine that is already a significant upgrade over the 483 hp and 372 lb-ft in the current California. Other reported upgrades suggest there is the possibility of revised exterior pieces to make the new model look more like the F12 Berlinetta, along with an improved interior featuring a more modern infotainment system. As expected, Ferrari has no plans to drop the California's retracting hardtop for the updated model.
While Ferrari will debut the new car on February 12, the public will probably not get its first chance to check out the brand's entry-level sports car until the Geneva Motor Show in March.

Here's how wildly expensive it is to participate in F1

Wed, Jan 23 2019

The cost of competing in Formula One racing is extremely high. Not in the physical and lifestyle sense, although that too takes a major toll on each team and driver, but in a literal hand-over-the-cash sense. Each F1 team pays hundreds of thousands of dollars to enter, plus a fee for every single point the team earned in the previous season. Motorsport.com recently detailed just how absurdly pricey entering the F1 field is. According to the piece, the price of entry goes up each year due to the U.S. Consumer Price Index. For 2019, the entry fee is $546,133, and it doesn't stop there. There are additional dues required of each team based on where the team finished in the previous season. Interestingly, the winners pay more. For example, Mercedes-Benz, the constructor champion for the past five years, must pay $6,553 per point it scored in 2018. With 655 points scored, that's $4,292,215. All other teams must pay $5,459 per point. For a full rundown of what the teams will be paying for 2019, check out the full article here.Related Video:

Ferrari names new F1 car F138

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Don't call it the F150. Ferrari has officially announced it will name its newest Formula One car the F138. The machine is the 59th car Ferrari has built to compete in F1, and it's also the last of the company's F1 efforts to rely on a high-strung V8 for propulsion. F1 rules have changed for next year, forcing competitors to use smaller cylinder counts to get around the track. Ferrari has already said it will use a 1.6-liter turbocharged V6 to do its dirty work. That moves brings an end to the eight-year reign the V8 enjoyed.
Ferrari isn't saying much more about the 2013 car, and the only image we have to go on at the moment is the logo you see above. Stay tuned for more information, and in the interim, be sure to check out the painfully brief press release below.
