Collected my F430 from Foskers yesterday and am like a dog with two willies.smile
Like many, a Ferrari was by bedroom wall car, although my era was a 308GTS.!
So here we are some time later and I own one and although only 2 days into ownership I am over the moon.

Now the joy of selling the 996 Turbo, which has been such a great car

congrats! I did the same thing earlier this year went from Porsche GT3 to Red F430 Very pleased, it does attract a lot more attention though which you sometimes don't want.

Congrats! I looked at that car too, very nearly splashed out for it!

Did the seller move at all for you (he wouldn't for me!)

Yes, It is a fabulous car.
I got a little movement, but not much.
After a few initial niggles, Foskers have been absolutely awesome, the after sales support has been a revelation.
This is the first time that I have bought a used car from a dealer and I have been refreshingly surprised at the support given and the no nonsense attitude to ensure that my buying and ownership experience is what I had hoped for.

The car is being collected by them next week to fit a new clutch and fix a gearbox noise.
We are all too keen to slate bad service, but we should also give credit where it is due.
Hopefully when 458 come down to my £ level, I will try to source it thru' Foskers with confidence.

Another yes from me for Foskers. Not surprised by your experience. I bought my 360 from them a couple of years back and they have serviced and looked after the car ever since. Always fair, friendly and helpful. Enjoy the car - saw it on my last visit there, nice example.

If I did a memory dump of the useless things I know about cars I would most likely be a genius!
