2008 Ferrari F430 Spider | Collector Owned | Highly Optioned | New Clutch on 2040-cars
Austin, Texas, United States
|
2008 Ferrari F430 Spider VIN ZFFEW59A680163147 6-speed F1 Transmission Grigio Silverstone with Red Interior Highly Optioned 9,773 One-Owner Miles I’m the original owner of this vehicle having ordered it from Miller Motorcars in Greenwich, CT on May 30th, 2008 and taken delivery the following October. Immediately thereafter I had the car moved to my home in Austin, TX where it’s been ever since. The car has always been serviced by Ferrari of Austin and nowhere else. Please note: The Autocheck report shows this as a two-owner vehicle. That is incorrect. When I originally purchased this vehicle I did so as a lease to my company. I later transferred the car from my company to me personally (thereby confusing the reporting agencies). All purchase and service records show this to be a one-owner vehicle. The title was transferred to my name on 8/5/14. Between the time I filled out the title paperwork, and the final inspection appointment, I drove the car for 200 miles. That is the reason for the 200-mile mileage discrepancy shown by Autocheck. Ordered from the factory in classic Grigio Silverstone with stunning red interior, this car makes an immediate impression wherever it goes. This car was delivered with an above average MSRP of $268,103.00 (please see the photos of the window sticker). In fact, this car was so highly optioned that the full option list wouldn't even fit on the window sticker. Instead, the last line of options simply reads “other options” as follows Options: Power Extended Service Coverage $5,900.00 Red Brake Calipers $1,040.00 Rear Engine Grill in Carbon $3,497.00 Carbon Fiber for Driving Zone $5,026.00 Daytona Style Seats $2,980.00 Electrically Operated Seats $2,620.00 Chrome Plated Exhaust Pipes $652.00 Fire Extinguisher $585.00 Scuderia Ferrari Shields $1,586.00 Radio/Navigation/Bluetooth $2,254.00 Rear Parking Sensors $1,136.00 Roll Bar Upholstery Color $507.00 Other Options $4,752.00 From my original order form dated 5/30/08 (included with the sale of the vehicle) you can see that the “Other Options” are as follows: Yellow Tachometer Face Challenge Style Rear Segment Reflective Leather Seats Leather Rear Shelf and Door Moldings Special Stitching (Black) Mechanically, the car starts, stops and goes as a Ferrari should. It just passed a State of Texas safety inspection and it has always been serviced by Ferrari of Austin. Of particular note are the new front tires (correct Bridgestone Potenza’s RF050A 225/35ZR19) and a brand new clutch installed by the dealer at 8,158 miles. The clutch was installed under warranty after the dealer incorrectly set the PIS (Point of initial Slip) on my clutch during a previous service causing excessive clutch wear. The new clutch has less than 1,700 miles on it. If you’re buying a used F430, this is a huge bonus as a clutch replacement is a very costly job. Cosmetically, this F430 Spider will exceed your expectations. I’m a collector and, as such, my cars are maintained to a degree that others may find hard to believe. I own more than 50 exotic and classic cars and maintain a full-service, staffed, and climate-controlled facility to make sure my cars are always ready to drive and kept to my meticulous standards. This car is a perfect example and is in virtually flawless cosmetic condition. The leather interior is supple and without marks or stains of any kind, the glass is perfect, the wheels are immaculate with no signs of curb rash or other damage, and the paint is impeccable. There are no dings, scratches or flaws of any kind. There aren’t even any significant rock chips owing to the professionally installed clear bra that I had applied by the dealer covering the front bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors, and rockers. As shown in the photos of the pristine glove box and trunk,
all the correct accessories are present and accounted for including the
flashlight, tool kit, air compressor and car cover (all original packaging and all
unused) as well as the Ferrari battery maintainer (always used). Also included
are the manuals, 2 keys, window sticker, the original order form, and service
records from Ferrari of Austin. In addition to the clear bra, I also had the dealer install
a radar detection system including a Valentine V1 radar detector and K40 laser
detection. Because of the exclusive nature of this car, I spent thousands of
dollars with the dealer on a custom and stealth installation. Both the V1 and
K40 units were disassembled and custom installed piece-by-piece. The K40 laser
sensors were hidden in the front bumper right and left grill openings while the
sensors for the V1 were hidden underneath the dashboard in front of the
steering wheel. The various controls were mounted under the dash to be easily
reachable by the driver. Finally, the LED alerts were custom installed in the
rear-view mirror. Look closely at the photos and you’ll see that this isn't an
ugly aftermarket mirror but the actual Ferrari factory mirror that now holds
the LED alerts and associated electronics and has been customized with a
laser-engraved display showing all functions of the radar detection system. The
system performs flawlessly and is nearly impossible to detect (even if you’re
looking for it). This car is available to view at my facility in Austin, TX
by appointment. I encourage interested parties to come see the car in person.
Pre-purchase inspections are also more than welcome. We have both an authorized
dealer (Ferrari of Austin) and a leading independent shop (Moorespeed) here in
town and both have excellent reputations. I’d be happy to take the car to
either for an inspection at the buyer’s expense. As a collector, I move cars on a regular basis and can
recommend highly-rated transport companies to deliver the car if you’re out of
state. Obviously, the associated costs will be the responsibility of the buyer. If you have any questions, or wish to schedule an
inspection, please do so before buying the car and not after. Once you've
committed to a purchase by clicking “Buy It Now” I will expect a non-refundable, $1,000 deposit by Paypal within 24 hours and full payment via wire transfer or cashier’s
check within 7 days. Please note that I will be leaving the country for a trip
to Italy from 9/24 through 10/12 so any purchase must be completed before then. I've done my very best to describe this car accurately and honestly and I welcome any questions vie email, in person, or over the phone. This is a spectacular car and I’m going to miss it. I’m only selling it because I’m ordering a new 458 and it doesn't make sense to have two Spiders in the garage. I hope to find this car a great home with a new owner who will love it like I have. This car deserves it. |

The 11 best scenes from the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed
Tue, Jun 30 2015Over the last three days, the Goodwood Estate has played home to the eponymous Festival of Speed. Thrown by the biggest gearhead in the British aristocracy – Charles Gordon-Lennox, the Earl of March and Kinrara – the Festival of Speed is essentially a tremendous, gasoline-fuelled party, complete with a very large lawn sculpture, that features the world's hottest, weirdest, fastest, and loudest race, production, and historic models. While there are quite literally dozens and dozens of videos from the event – not to mention the full-day replays (of which only day one is available, at present) – we've sifted through them to pluck away the very best. There's stuff from the official Goodwood YouTube channel, as well as several videos from automakers and other third-party channels, and it's all available below. 2015 Ford Mustang GT350R Looks Barely Controllable If you thought the highest-performance Ford Mustang would somehow get more tractable or civilized once it moved to an independent rear suspension, this video shows you have nothing to worry about. Watch as an unnamed driver wrestles the new Shelby GT350R and its flat-plane, 5.2-liter V8 up the hillclimb circuit. Even with the new suspension and sticky tires, this Mustang wants to go any direction but straight, especially following its launch. 2016 Ford Focus RS, Is Very Loud, Blue Ken Block makes his first appearance on our list. Before he steps into his Hoonicorn Mustang, though, the Gymkhana expert tackled the hill in the all-new Focus RS. The vicious bellow of the 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder is the star of this commentary-free video, although the gorgeous Nitrous Blue paint job is a nice accompaniment, as well. 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn Runs Hill, Nearly Kills Lord March Mr. Block's two runs behind the wheel of the Hoonicorn were, unsurprisingly, very eventful. While one attempt goes off without a hitch, seeing the American rally driver slip and slide his way to the top of the hill while taking a short break for a donut, the other is slightly more dramatic. Block, along with Lord March in the passenger seat, carries a bit too aggressive an angle into a turn and nearly puts the NASCAR-powered Mustang into the hay bales. Check out the first video above, and the second one below. Kimi Raikkonen Makes Us Miss F1's V8 Era The latest Formula One cars have been maligned for the lackluster noise produced by the new 1.6-liter, turbocharged V6.
Ferrari planning six-cylinder Dino revival?
Wed, Apr 8 2015Ferrari swore up and down when it was developing the California that it wouldn't be an "entry-level" model. Whether that ultimately proved to be the case or not is up for debate, but it seems that the Prancing Horse marque is now preparing to launch a properly more accessible model in the near future. According to Motor Trend, Maranello is working on a new six-cylinder sports car to serve as the point of entry for new customers – especially in China. Tax implications there could mean the V6 would displace less than 3.0 liters, but likely pack a pair of turbochargers to ensure that output and performance live up to the Ferrari standard. Tipped to arrive in 2019, the six-cylinder model could materialize as a revival of sorts of the Dino line. Named after Enzo Ferrari's first-born son, the Dino sub-brand used mostly six-cylinder engines to take on the Porsche 911 on and off the track. The Dino 206 GT emerged in 1968, evolved into the larger-displacement 246 the following year and ultimately gave way to the very different, eight-cylinder, four-seat 308 GT4 in 1973, later to be rebadged as a proper Ferrari once the Dino brand was put to rest in '76. It's worth noting that Ferrari developed the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 for the Maserati Ghibli and Quattroporte, which would presumably serve as the basis for the new entry-level Ferrari. Though FCA typically endeavors to keep its brands from competing directly with one another, Maserati is due to release a production version of the Alfieri sports car concept within the next couple of years, powered by that same engine, and could share its underpinnings with the Ferrari model in question. The six-cylinder Prancing Horse could carry a price tag of around $180,000 to take on the likes of the Porsche 911 Turbo, Mercedes-AMG GT, Audi R8 and the Sports Series which McLaren just kicked off with its new entry-level 570S.

Ferrari 458 Scuderia to be unveiled in Frankfurt?
Tue, 16 Jul 2013We're heavy on the speculative side with this, but Auto Express is saying that "Rumours of Ferrari 458 Scuderia emerge, with possible debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show." To be clear, that's the possible debut of a car that is still only a rumor, and we're not sure it will be called "Scuderia," either - remember, the track-day 360 was the Challenge Stradale. Admittedly, the rumor of its existence is strong and there is plenty of precedent: Ferrari has introduced some model or variant of its mid-engined V8 sports car at the last three Frankfurt Motor Shows.
Car and Driver went into a great deal of indepth speculation about the coming, track-focused 458 in a piece back in May, and also predicted it would be shown first in Frankfurt. According to C/D we can expect "roughly 600" horsepower and 9,300-rpm redline - up 300 rpm from standard - a faster shifting seven-speed gearbox, a dry weight under 2,900 pounds thanks to "exotic compound materials" and a "slightly stripped interior," less exhaust silencing, uprated carbon-ceramic brakes and active aerodynamics on the rear diffuser.
As far as rumors go this one sounds thoroughly lovely. We hope to see it in made metal in Frankfurt in two months, you can enjoy a detailed gallery of the 563-horsepower Ferrari 458 Challenge above for now.
