Where to buy a Ferrari?

[90240br]

I'm looking for a Ferrari F430 Coupe (f1 or manual, silver), unfortunately it's not for me, but I cant seem to find a good connection to a good dealer or private classifieds. Any suggestions? or a link to an add? Southern California area would be preferred, but I am willing to bring it in from anywhere in North America.

cheers,

Brian

OC has an 05' but in red, I'm sure local dealers could be quick to get something in though wouldn't they?

That would be your best bet to get a 430 sometime in the next few years. Unless your interested in buying used. If this is your first ferrari, defintly goto a main delearship to try and get on the list

Not sure how up to date you are on the market, but eBay is not a bad source. If you're willing to pay a $75k USD premium, Bentley San Francisco has a red one in the showroom.

PM me if you'd like additional contacts.

The entire 430 run is sold out for the next 4-5 years apparently. The only way you will even get your hands on one is if you are a very good customer of the local Ferrari dealership (in our case Ferrari Vancouver) and have bought previous vehicles fromt them or are prepared to open your wallet and pay an insane amount of money in a premimum. Brand new 430's CANNOT be sold outside of a dealership's territory. So you will have to look for one that is going to be flipped. ($$)

ZR could find you one, but you will pay close to 450,000+

My advice would be to skip the 430 route and buy a 360 CS for now from FofV and get in their good books. They might have an early spot opening.

You don't need to pay 450k+ for a new 430. Just have to know where to shop.

430's with a premium will be close to that.

The only Ferrari I can buy comes in a little package at Toys R Us.

With no dealer connections the only way to get an F430 this year is to pay US$50k over sticker. Here are dealers in your area:

Ferrari of Beverly Hills
Ferrari of Orange County
Ferrari of San Diego
Ferrari of San Francisco
The Auto Gallery

Close to SoCal there's also
Ferrari of Scottsdale (AZ)
Wynn-Penske (Las Vegas, NV)

Most US Spec F430s are currently going for around $250 USD. Ad exchange, duty, shipping, GST and the required bumper conversion and you are well over the $319k that Ferrari of Vancouver is asking for their 05 F1 with 2.7k...

BTW, $450 is too much for a Coupe, but it will buy you a spider and there happens to be one here in town available.
