I always liked them and looked into gettin one, but couldnt get past the paddles.
The way I would ever drive a paddle is if I had a couple other true manuals to keep me happy and the paddle a fun toy to play with till the wrist flicking gets old, then park it to get my manual fix, until the next day to play with the paddles.

anywho, Ferrari guys, hows this one priced considering the miles and after market wheels?

theyve FINALLY come down in price, but with new Ferrari toys like the 16M, California, Suderia, 458 out or coming out, the prices should tank more

Im just pndering at this point, it is a paddle shifter after all

and when I knock down part of my garage wall and put a car in the dining room and get two lifts I can have 5 cars and a spot for all my equipment. If I buy more Ill just have to park a Rolls or something in the driveway

130's for a CS is a heck of a deal. If you have the dollars, why not?

Another one:

Just arrived at RUF Auto Centre is this 2004 Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale finished in Rossa Corsa Red over a Black leather interior. Belt service was done about a year ago at 10,000 miles. Current clutch wear shows 20% wear.

We just installed brand new tires and did a full PPI on the car.

Red/no stripe.

I was offered it for 119k

not a bad deal at all
however, I could also get the TDF Blue F430 that is faster and 6 speed for around the same,but it not as raw and hard core. Lower and stiffin it up maybe?

IDK, opinons?

go with what will make you happy, if you're going to complain about the 430 not being as bare boned and raw as the CS then get that, but if you want a bit of luxury and a 6speed then lower it and swap the bumper on the 430

or just buy a scuderia for twice as much
