New F430 owner

[Siy]

New to this forum - been in the Aston forum for last year or so...

Just bot a 2005 F430 Spider... black with Sabia from walkersport....

Tim at Walkersport was fantastic to deal with - really couldn't have been more helpful.

Car arrived this morning - just want to get out and play in it now...!!!

here it is http://www.walkersport.co.uk/cars-previously-sold/...

Am very excited..!!!!

That's a lovely Christmas present aye.

Congrats and enjoy!

Same colour combo as my old 360, best choice for a spider IMO. Congrats, you'll love it!

Me too, looks lovely and was well priced.

I noticed that car on their website about a week or so ago, very nice car and as has been said already really competitively priced.

Looks great in black/cream leather too, probably the best combo after red/black.

Enjoy

Get off your computer!!! You have a new Ferrari outside!!!

[Siy]

Thanks all... The really annoying thing is I still haven't driven it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I should probably be kicked off the site for that eh?

I got home late last night - it was raining heavily - so I just stared at it in the garage.. I am not scared about actually driving it in the rain - just wanted to keep it clean so I can have a good play and blat with it on Saturday...

Am out tonight and wont be home until the early hours... This is killing me!!!!

Enjoy.....I test drove that one on Friday and was still doing the maths when you bought it. My loss!!!

I'd be really interested in your experiences with it, good and bad. I'm still looking for the same thing (Black/crema/manual/2005/the more toys the better). If you can be arsed, feel free to PM me when you've spent some time with your new toy.

All the best,

Kevin

Hi Kevin - sure thing - will do...

What I can say, is that Tim at walkersport was genuinely brilliant... I would definitely buy from him again.

Will get back to you after the weekend to let you know how it is/what to expect.

[4leks]

Tim is a top man.
Manual F430 could potentially become a bit of challenge on re-sale though...I personally wouldn't touch a manual F430 as F1 box there is just brilliant
Enjoy the car anyway!

[ferdi p]

I loved my manual 430 & had no problem selling it..
This car will sell for 60k+ for the next 12/18 months Imo...

Thought it was the 16M.

Wow..!!!

Kevin...all I can say is buy one!

It is awesome... having come from Porsche/Astons this is a different league entirely. Everything about it has put a smile on my face!

The sound, the handling ... but most of all the power that it delivers...But it is totally useable..Was stuck in traffic, then out on wet slippery roads on Sunday... never any issues. Get it onto the open roads - and then the grin starts!

What a lot of fun!
