Also if you have ever seen them in person all their reds are simply amazing, pics will never do them justice.

Totally agree. Pics never ever do them justice. However, between the red and this blue, I'm not sure what I'd take! Both are so beautiful!

I love that color. Avio Met

My first Ferrari will not be red. If it is, it's only because the example I come across is too pristine to pass up.

I'm a bit confused, but it could be because I just woke up. You're saying the picture you posted ISN'T a Scuderia? Because, as others have stated, it has the stripes, just like every other Scuderia. Also the openings on the front fascia are slightly different. And from what I can tell (I just skimmed over every page) every single 430 posted has been a Scuderia. I'll look back and check, though.

Either way, it's a good choice... Kinda. I've been planning on buying myself a Ferrari F360/430 for my 25th birthday for a while now. I'm currently 19, and actually have about half the money saved up for what I think it'll be worth when I'm 25 (around $175,000 by my estimates, depending on the specimen. I plan on buying it outright!). I'll be buying it slightly used, of course. No two year waiting list for me!!!

I wont be going for the Scuderia, either... I'd rather have all the creature comforts that Ferrari can offer me.

Also, a Ferrari is meant to be red. That's just what they are, and that's what they always will be. However the one I purchase will hopefully be black, with black interior and yellow stitching to match the yellow badges. This last bit is pushing it, but it wouldn't be hard to have done afterwards: I also want yellow calipers. Obviously paint matched to the badge color.

On another note: It's easy to say, and it's easy to hope and wish you'll do every just right so you can afford this car in the future. As the saying goes, it's easier said than done. I don't have any doubt that you'll do it, as I don't know anything about you... But I have my reservations. Good luck, and good choice!

Here's a good pic of the Scuderia, in red:

When the Scuderia was first introduced at the Autoshows, it had the stripes on the car to make it stand out from the regular F430.



Base model F430

Ok... this bickering is getting out of hand.
I think The Blob tried posting a pic of a stock (non Scuderia) F430 from Allworldcars.com. It didn't work though. All visible F cars in this thread - Avio Metallic, red studio shot, and red on wet pavement are all Scuderia models. So we got that out of the way.

To Kilockel: I don't know your financial situation, and it's ultimately your money; but if you're 19 and on your way to amassing the money needed to buy a used F430 in the next 5 or so years; don't spend it on a car. Although I'm guessing if you have that kind of money at your disposal, you already own property, and have a more then substantial savings built up.

To be honest, it will probably be the worst financial decision of my life. I'm aware of this, and currently the ups outweigh the downs. That being said, I wouldn't be blowing all of my money on this car. Most of my money goes into other things (savings/investments of sorts/stock market/girlfriend/etc.), and I have a specific account just for said car. I'd never break the bank on any car, no matter how nice.

Thanks for looking out, though!

That's a much worse investment then any car


jk man.
Hey, you only live once, and if you got the money, why not. Just don't spend all your money of a car and be pulling the Ferrari up to your 1 bedroom apartment. Sounds like you're not going to make a stupid decision though, just make sure you're aware of the cost of maintenance on the car before signing the paperwork.

I'm keeping my mouth closed on that one!

Well, I'll probably talk myself out of it when the day comes, however I might get caught up in the Ferrari hype and just go for it. We'll see!

If I go through with it and I remember this conversation, I'll be sure to post pictures for ya!

Just to cease confusion here, the stripes are OPTIONAL on the Scuderia. Just as they were on the CS.

360's can already be found in the low $100K's. Where are you looking that they're $175K?

Eh, I'm mainly looking at a 430, not a 360. I put both as I originally wanted a 360, but have since changed my mind.

Also, I feel my $175,000 estimate is slightly high. I'm expecting more in the $150,000 range, but am preparing for the worst.

Yep. 599 and Scud are two completely different cars.

If I remember correctly the Scud is a second faster around the Ferrari track than the Enzo.

Good choice dear sir!
