I was thinking that 360 Spider prices were going up at the moment a bit in the normal spring increases, but this one with 21k miles did make me smile...

I love the "I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO WITHDRAW THE CAR FROM SALE AT ANY TIME" in the advert. Like when nobody turns up cause it is well overpriced!!!
How about I reserve the right to offer you a lot less money.

Funnily enough, I viewed the car off the front page & thought the same.

Can I confess to liking the wheels too? boxedin

This just highlights the fact that the majority of 430's out there are incredibly over-priced in my opinion, (probably being 'held/ manipulated' at high values by 'eager' trade / dealers)
I feel that we'll see a distinct market trading range for various marques, of say, circa £30k for 355's, circa £40k for (good) 360's and, frankly, £50k for 430's...
mark my words, as soon as the 458 becomes ubiquitous - which it will - 430's will fall like stones in value!!!

How big is this stone you speak of? In other words, what kinda money we talking about in 18-24 months time? I suspect pretty much the same, id be interested to hear your opineon regarding the extent of the depreciation impact from the 458 though smile

I could see my self in a 430... wink

It will be a long time before you see a 50k 430... you could however get this for 30k http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1639314.htmbiggrin

I have seen alot worse I have to be honest.

Thing that puzzles me with these replicas, surely they should find a car with the right wheelbase & length? or at least modify the chassis to compensate. When the dimensions are right, the ride height and stance have to be worked on to get a good replica, all IMO of course :P

I reckon you won't see a straight 430 at 50k for at least 3 years. 458's are silly money (only silly because I haven't got it). 355's are rock steady and not going anywhere downward in the forseeable futre. Lots of 360's but lots of crap ones so a big spread on that model. But back to the subject of the OP, wildly optimistic is the only comment I would make.

Terrifically overpriced and if you scroll through the sellers pistonheads profile (mob33n) you'll see he's made the following post in his short posting career:

'Ive got a evo fq400 and that just does about 187mph how can fq320 do it must b tuned up'

Loving the bit in the add for that F430 kit car where he states that the car hasn't been in an accidents! What? Does he mean he actually meant to make an abortion of an F430 replica out of a MR2, on purpose? LOL!
