Stradale, if money is not the object go for full CF!
It will look amazing with dual color Black/Red leather!
One other thing-your car will have a personal touch...
My thinking is this - I already know I'm getting what I paid (msrp) for my CS in trade. The trade direct to the dealer will save me $17,500 in taxes. So in the future if I decide to trade in the F430 for a 430CS (pista) then I'll get back what I paid, more than likey even make money this time around so whatever money I put in the car I'll get returned. Might as well build it exactly how I want within reason at least. I'm at approx. $35k in options w/ CCM's. The only thing I cant talk myself into that if money were absolutely no object whatsoever is the CF engine compartment. It's nice but for $9k especially since the 430CS will have it well...maybe I need to leave somethin off (CF engine comp) just to make myself feel like I'm being financially responsible. The $4k for the steering wheel is reasonable enough that I can talk myself into doing it, if I think it will look good. lol!!............especially since it's what you're looking at and touching all the time....nudge,nudge. right?
Should get any option you desire on a [Email]430@MSRP;[/Email] very likely to have 100% resale value, esp if trade-in @<5K mis/12 mos for next new F, further working to elevate your priority [Email]status@your[/Email] dealer....simple game in US isn't it?
BTW, don't understand all the sales tx vs trade-in nonsense ....don't all capital efficiency-conscious guys only lease their cars, $0 down??? NY state has leasing back, right?
Very likely to have 105-110% resale value.
It's very simple - Say you buy a car for $200k & pay $17,500 tax. Then you want to trade that car for one also costing $200k. You trade the car in that's worth $200k and since you already paid tax once you don't pay it again, ever. You can trade in a car every year and lets say they cost the same msrp you don't pay tax on the 2nd or 3rd car and so on. If every car you buy from here on out equals $200k you can keep trading in and never pay anymore tax on any new car. OR If the new car is $20k more ($220k) than your trade in is worth ($200k) you only pay tax on the $20k. (which is the difference)
You can do a lease ballon and still take advantage of the tax break but it's even better just to buy the car that way when you trade it you get every single cent back. In other words for my CS it will cost me $0 to own. I'm getting every cent I put into it back in addition it will give me a $17,500 tax break ($200k trade x 8.75%) on the 430.
re: "don't all capital efficiency-conscious guys only lease their cars, $0 down???". No, wrong way to do it. When you lease you have to pay monthly interest charges. When you trade in for the next vehicle you don't get that back. On my CS it would have cost be approx. $1500 per month in interest. Would have lost maybe $30k... No brainer.
