Go read https://aldousvoice.com/ and add a little bit of googling.
Then get one bought and enjoy it.
Personally I think low mileage examples are expensive and you lose that “value” when you drive them. To my mind there is no point having it and not driving it, They are rather good at driving, and make you grin like an idiot.
Buy shares in a Shell, you will become frequent visitor

Good time to buy I reckon, and as per supersport above, don't fret about mileage - these cars are for driving. No sure which car you're looking at but this one has all the boxes ticked (unless you want red of course). https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/10216425? No affiliation, and yes it just happens to be the cheapest on PH at the moment, but if it wasn't for the mileage it would have another £10k tacked on the price - which is crazy because at 34k miles its just run in :-)
Hi, There only things to really look for are a decent full service history (preferably by Ferrari), suspension bushes & gators need regular changing & manifolds can be suspect. Value mainly is governed by age, colour combo, condition, mileage and Ferrari service history. Purchase from a Ferrari main dealer will probably give you a 2 year warranty, but at a price. Good time to buy.

Any useful advice anyone please?!
Drove an F1 f430 on the track.It was epic, easy to drive, and the gearbox surprised me. Dont like DC boxes but this actually felt mechanical. Not in a clunky bad way, but positive and visceral.
Easy to hit the apex's and when it began to slide it seemed well balanced (not my car so no balls out slidey stuff),
Really really liked it.
Only thing I wondered, was it too easy from word go ?, my 911 has taken ages to learn, and even after a winter break I find it a challenge to get back on top of.

The wider the thottle opening the faster it changes and they can be very fast

Its not a DC box! It a single clutch operated by hydraulics, and you really have to drive it like its a manual, ie a slight lift off when you go up the box when you go down it rev matches for you.

Sorry, i meant auto thingy, but I admit I thought the F1 in the 430 was a DC. Live and learnThe wider the thottle opening the faster it changes and they can be very fast
Still, it actually felt good. The only paddle operated gearbox I have actually enjoyed.
OP get it, you know you want to
/\ What he said. Get an inspection done on any car you’re interested in.
I’ve had an F430 and a 458.
While the 458 is undoubtedly the better car, for me, the F430 was the more memorable.
More go cart like, more visceral, more tactile, more fun.
They’re not the best looking Ferrari from recent years, but they’re still a looker in anyone’s book.
Buy one, you won’t regret it.
