Buying the 2005 Ferrari F430
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2005 Ferrari F430 for sale by us right now. The 2005 Ferrari F430 for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA has 1 owner complaints on file, mostly about power train. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
What the specs mean
Power: the 4.3L 8-cylinder; drive: rear-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
It is rated at 19.6 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 59 litres. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $102.90 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$6,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the F430 suits
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
How big it is

Drive it on your own roads
Rent the F430 first, and buy only if it fits your life. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the F430 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Which one to look for
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2005 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
What it costs to run
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$6,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
