I've gotta scratch the 430 itch sometime in the near future. The above seems toooooo cheap. Anybody know this car? It seems £10k too cheap?

Is it not just that it's an early car with relatively high miles (for a Ferrari) and a less than desirable colour scheme, although for me one of the best. Also the trade price for this would be in the low £50s so maybe the owner has been kicked in the nuts trying to px and wants a quick sale.
It’s a private sale, which will always be lower than an indie and main line dealer, as there little come back and no two year warranty. On upside get it checked and you can grab a bargain.
Spec is a little low, but nothing worth worrying about too much, although not many like the red tacho, it goes with the scheme I guess. The interior is going to be the biggest sticking point, now and in the future, but if the price is right people will forgive a lot.

Looks realistic to me given that it is a private sale; plus taking into account the miles and colour combo. There was (still is? )a red one in Cardiff for sale with red interior that has been for sale for ages and the price goes up and down like a yo yo! May also be worth a look..
I personally wouldn't be too concerned about the gaps in the service history, just get it inspected and make an offer subject to.
There seems to be lot of cars not selling at the moment, plus lots coming on the market as well... could push prices further down, so may want to hang on a while yet

Service book shows services only in 2006 then 2007 then 2011. Other than that it looks a good car.
The advert states services at:Graypaul 2006 4287
Graypaul 2007 5752
Graypaul 2008 9326
Graypaul 2009 17490
Graypaul 2011 21852
The Ferrari log books can be funny, not all the service stamp pages are consecutive for some reason.
Saw this one last night.
IMO the early reply up top was right. These are trading pretty low and even dealers have put punting 2005 >20k miles cars out at mid 60's. E.g. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3117989.htm
It's only a car ! Same as a ford focus. As long as the chassis not bent and the plenum isn't chock full of broken up catalyst, then get it bought !
