Default New F Car, Selling TT Cab

Succumbed to urge to buy a Ferrari and bought a 360 Spider with an F1 transmission. Have not had the opportunity to track it yet so not that familiar with paddle shifters, especially in sport mode. But, with the Tubi exhaust, the sound is extraordinary. Handling is much different than my turbo, especially because of the lack of any lag. I suspect the turbo is faster, but the spider certainly feels and sounds fantastic.

Problem is no room in my garage - so need to sell my Turbo Cab. Any suggestions on how to a fair price - I don't particularly like eBay and AutoTrader seems to be almost only dealers?

Hereis what I face in the mornings, of course most days I drive my Mini.

Congrats on the F car. That is the only car I would sell my Turbo for!!! Or let's say my next step up car. Wish I could have both actually! LOL

How many miles do you have on the Turbo Cab?

Looks like an 03 or 04. I have owned two F360's and loved them both. I almost purchased the F430 instead of the 05 turbo S Cab, but wife said no go to $300K for the F430 Spider.

You are quite right - it is an '04, with 2,500 miles. Also had brand new Red F430 spider offered to me at $300K ($50K over list) and passed. But, I was at the Wynn showroom in Vegas last week and the salesman told me they are buying 430's at $50k over list and reselling at $100K over.

So far, loving the car and looking for more information on proper shifting points and whether to lift - using the paddles.

The F430 is an awesome car and so is the F360. When shifting the F1 tranny, hit the paddle, let up on the gas 1/4, and then depress the gas again. I ran my F1 tranny like this and never had an issue and the shifting was very quick. If you leave the gas depressed while shifting, the tranny has a tendency to "clank" into gear and I did not like that sound. I purchased both of mine new and loved the cars.
