Long time reader of pistonheads, but now need to ask advice.

Anyone know the silver f430 here :- http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/f...

Does spec look ok ?. Appreciating it has been for sale for a while, is silver putting people off .?

Looking to keep a car for 1 year only, so unfortunately need to take into account resale

Thanks in advance for any help / advice.

Thanks.

Warranty would only be 15 months due to age of car (eg 9 years old in march 2015)

Sensible thinking, although nearest car price wise I can find is this one :- http://www.ferrariapproved.com/usedcar/FERRARI/F43...

Year newer, resale red, better brakes, higher spec, however double the miles at near 30k. That opens a whole other debate about how much impact that has on price and resale ? My understanding is these cars are very mileage sensitive, price wise, if not mechanically. Is there a common view on "acceptable" mileage for say a 7 year old car ?

Fully agree with you re mileage. I would feel comfortable to drive 10k miles a year in a f430 knowing it can take it.

However we all know the feeling when you back to a dealer to sell it on and the sharp intake of breath through their teeth

Which car ? I would like to put around 8k miles on the car in a year. That makes no difference to silver one in my eyes, but selling the red one on at 38k miles ?

Excuse my ignorance, but all I can take for guidance is threads on forums such as this, where too many people seem paranoid of milage. Remember I'm not questioning the car being able to cope with it, which is ridiculous, but more resale in a years time and how easy it will be to sell the car back on.

Appreciate there is a lot of scaremongering on threads, which is why I would love to hear a reality check from owners have been through these scenarios
