As of right now there are a variety of Ferrari F430’s that are for sale right under $120,000 dollars on the internet. Considering how this vehicle is still pretty awesome and it is a Ferrari, $120,000 is certainly a lot less that what the car originally sold for. You can get this vehicle for the same price as some S-Class Mercedes, and this will beat most of them in performance. If you have ever wanted a Ferrari but could never afford one, buying used is a great option. The additionally benefits of this car is that people will not make fun of you as if you were driving a Ferrari California (“poor” mans Ferrari, but hey I like it).
