After much soul searching I decided to sell my Lamborghini Murcielago and frustratingly it sold at almost full asking price in just over a week!!! I want something a little cheaper and therefore I have cash waiting for a Ferrari F430 F1 Spider in red with cream. I only want to spend circa £75k and want something with 12,000 miles or less with full Ferrari history.

If you have one for sale and want a quick deal, I am ready to buy. Let me know what you have!

For reference, the Lambo was amazing fun. Had it for just over two and a half years and got away with running costs of just over £10k. Nothing prepares you for the attention it got, and when I sold it, I managed to make the £10k back as the price I paid was right at the bottom of the market.

If ever you get the chance to own one, do it...

Budget might be a little tight for a good car from a good dealer.

For me buying from a Ferrari dealer was important as you get 2 year approved warranty, in real terms thats worth more than £5k in itself and made me not even consider private/specialists for my 430 purchase.

I just spent the weekend with an F430 spyder to see whether it was a what I really wanted next and whether I could keep it outside until the new garage complex has been built.

Despite being blue - it still got a massive amount of attention (unfortunately the odd idiot as well which comes with the territory I suppose) - when I do buy its going to be a blue one rather than red for me; the car just looks better in that colour IMPO. So I would be flexible on colour if I were you and go and see a few.

In terms of pricing - I know someone who purchased an 08 spyder with 7k for 90k back September last year; I think you will find what you are looking for within your budget.

Thanks for the reply. I have also considered other colours including blue but keep going back to red. I have a few people on the case looking for a car so I too think I should be able to get what I want for £75k.

Cash is waiting so anyone with something to tempt me get in touch!
