Willing to trade my F430 for a 997

Hi Phil, it seems like you have your already made up your mind so I wont try to change it. I will say that the recent Fcars dating back to the 360 were more and more streetable. Also I think your current price is fair but be careful sitting on it for too long. Those who think it wont fall much further from here are delusional. There a lot of reasons for this including, the 458 is the "it" car (2 of my friends are on the list to trade in their 430), too many exotics on the mkt, and of course the economy in general.
Of the Car you mentioned above, I have driven all of them except the TT S. I would avoid the 2 Astons like the plague. The S5 is a nice car, but its just a appliance. And since you already own a GT3, couldnt recommend the P's. I like the r8 very much. Good luck on your transaction!

So much confusion. First of all, I have learned that I will ALWAYS be a Porsche fan (yes, above Ferrari).
I sold my GT3RS about a year ago. I live in two locations now (cross country). I don't drive very often (for fun). I now drive a Range Rover 100% of the time. I wanted to sell the Ferrari because I don't drive it! Then I decided that I wouldn't mind replacing one of the RR's that I have, with a "regular" car. So the idea hit me to trade the Ferrari for something I wouldn't mind driving every day, sell the RR (i have two) and end up disposing of the Ferrari and a RR. In the end, I would have a good "driver" and some cash.
I have decided that if I don't get a fair price or offer over the next 4 weeks, I'm going to just drive the wheels off of it and not worry about it!

I'll consider trading for a: Carrara S, Panamera S or Turbo, 2010+ Twin Turbo or Turbo S, Audi S5, Aston Martin DB9 or Vanquish, Audi R8. [...]
I'm just looking for something that "I" consider more "drivable" on a daily basis. If you, or any of your friends are interested in such a trade please let me know. I'm pretty wide open on possibilities.

For a daily driver, I have to agree with your own feelings though, and with PJorgen. Our Carrera S is not as fast overall, but it is just as fast as a practical matter anywhere but a track or the open desert, and it is just more liveable day in and day out.
Of course, if you want to plan overlapping trips to Vegas, I'll be happy to swap you for the week. And people who know my attitude about others driving my cars will appreciate what a commitment that implies! Aaaaagh, pfui. I can't do it. My hand spasmed on the Porsche's key when I said that. Guess I'll have to pony up the grand a day.
