Do you think February will be the best month to buy a 430?
If Ferrari prices in general hold up then I would expect F430 values to rise in the spring so getting in beforehand might make sense.Koing said:

Thank you for the work undertaken in this thread. It has been a good resource along with your other information on your website. I am viewing a F430 today. Hopefully the clouds part and I get some dry time with it. 
No problem - glad it has been useful. Please let us know how you get on.
yum yum 
Happy new year! If you're a 360 owner then the year gets off to a bang - head over to the Aldous Voice Blog for news of another rise in prices.
Average F430 prices have risen a fraction during December, up 0.73% MoM bringing the index to 99.33.
However, if you look at the average price over the last 10 months it really hasn't changed significantly. I wonder if the F430 had some more depreciating to do over the last year and the overall rise in Ferrari values has neutralised this?
The number of cars for sale has picked up again and is more than double the size of the 360 market. I see 17 cars dropping out of the data (presumably sold) with 24 new entrants.
Here are the main tables:
Here's the plot of asking prices vs mileages:
And here are the theoretical asking prices for the different mileage points:
Here's the big table showing how the data population has changed:
Finally, don't forget that my car is going to feature in the January issue of Classic and Sports car. My understanding is that it is on the shelves for the 8th Jan and there will be minis on the front cover.

Thanks for the monthly update Aldous. Always interesting and much appreciated.
Can you give us a sense of the purpose of the Classic and Sports Car article? I didn't think there was anything left to write about the F430!
The article is about the Audi R8 V8 but they wanted to see how it stacked up against the F430 today as they would have been natural competitors at the time of launch.Can you give us a sense of the purpose of the Classic and Sports Car article?

Great thread, love the detail.
How are ceramic brakes viewed by buyers on a fully serviced 10k mile car...... I feeling more of a potential liability than benefit, am I wrong?
I would say that unless all 10k was done on the track then they'd be fine. The brakes are sought after and are very durable under most road operating conditions.How are ceramic brakes viewed by buyers on a fully serviced 10k mile car......

Very wrong!
I hope this is in relation to the previous poster and not the data!contango said:

Opinion varies but I had Graypaul replace my steel brakes with the factory supplied CCM kit. One and a half laps around Dunsfold during Supercar Sunday and the steel brakes were useless. Apart from lack of fade, other benefits include:- More braking force (larger disks and 6 piston calipers)
- No brake dust
- Greater steering feedback due to less unsprung weight (very noticeable)
- No rusting when washed
- They look the nuts
