Default Picking up new addition for the stable....

Well bit of a long story behind this that i won't bore you with, but bottom line is i have negotiated a cracking deal on a Rosso Red 430 Spider that i'm picking up later tonight

Not really a car i lust for, but the price is just too good to pass up on. Drove well last weekend, FFSH, just under 7k miles on it.....any one in the market for a Fezza?

Will get some pics up with her next to the mighty GTR

Well, there was me complaining about a lack of sexy metal on here!

Nice one and I look forward to the pics.

And from what I remember you're only a few miles away so I might be popping around for a passenger ride lol

You are 100% right!

It's a fun car, sound of that V8 is divine! Being use to front engine AWD cars, i think finding confidence in the mid mounted RWD platform will take some adjusting especially on damp road surface It doesn't feel like a 500bhp motor, perhaps because i'm use to the torque of the GTR accompanying that level of bhp and torque is one thing the Fezza seems to be a bit shy on.....

Very nice I'm a big fan of 430's! the 360 does look dated compared to the 430 and the 430 against the 458 I admit but it wouldn't stop me having one

Residuals of the 430 should remain strong given the huge financial gap between a 430 and a new 458.

Thats the only reason i bought it, the long story short is i got the car at bargain basement price from a distressed seller, i only bought it because i can afford to sit on it and sell it at the going rate....

458 reads to be a legend in terms of performance/handling but it actually looks a bit weird to me. From certain angles it is far from beautiful. Obviously I'd still give my right ******** to own one though!


So this 'distressed' seller then. A trader who bet on black when you bet on red??

Think about it this way, if it was saturday night, you were young and had a new red Ferrari would you be posting pics on scoobynet. Or would you be hitting the bars and clubs
