Sold the F-Type V8S - Replaced with something subtle ;)

Agree re the Jag becoming common - I've lost count of the number I've already seen on the roads over here (although I'd imagine them to always be a bit rare in the U.S.)

Neighbour of my sister has an AM Vantage, had an F type V8 for an extended test drive over a long weekend, it broke down 3times!

He kept the Aston!

Love your Ferrari, the upgrade maybe you should have done in the first place?

Oh, obligatory I hate you!!

You seem to be going through every supercar ever made! That's the life!!

Yaayuh! · 23 Dec 2013 at 08:41

would have stuck with the V8S. More class, better sound (IMO).

Plus, yellow and brown? No thanks.

So, the Jag got traded yesterday. It was a good car but Jag just aren't looking after their customers, they've oversupplied the car and the values are yet again going through the floor.

How are Jag failing you, by just selling a lot of cars or is there something else? I've noticed that with high end owners, they feel that the manufacturer has a responsibility to keep the residules higher for their owners, although it works both ways. A friend if mine was selling a hyper car and was phoned by the manufacturer and told that they were selling it too cheaply on the second hand market, their response was "well then buy it back off me for more", funnily enough they didn't.

Absolutely love the Ferrari, surprised to see you in an older model though. The interior is gorgeous and I think the yellow convertable aspect is perfect for where you are. Congrats, much prefer it to the Jag.

Looks good! Glad to see you've not swapped the McLaren yet, I do like that car a lot.

I love seeing what wealthy can buy you, i hate remembering im not wealthy!

Kenai · 23 Dec 2013 at 09:24

Yellow is absolutely the best colour on a Ferrari like that, not sure on the interior colour but i'm sure I could put up with it if I had to

Rilot · 23 Dec 2013 at 09:28

Nice.
I didn't even know you could get these with a manual transmission. I approve.

Honestly the Jag while a great car will never be an exotic. Why would I buy an inferior car to the MP4 for more than twice the price of what I just paid?!

Inferior car?! Oooo that's a claim!

Either way, enjoy it. I've always liked the 430, perhaps not in that colour combo - if you like it, that's all that matters

Freefaller · 23 Dec 2013 at 10:08

Whilst the Jag is cool - I prefer that

Also like the colour :cool:

Housey · 23 Dec 2013 at 10:32

I just called to say I love you, penned the previous owner. Colour is not for me and I like yellow, just not with bum gravy leather.

Eriedor · 23 Dec 2013 at 10:34

Improvement over the Jag, but colour scheme not for me, class red with cream interior just can't be beat!

Lol at the guy who said 'I don't like ferraris', ever driven one ?

Meh at yellow though, I mean... Would you drive a yellow mondeo ?, nope... And as exotic as it is it's still a yellow car

Yellow is a strange colour when you think about it, would you wear a yellow jumper ?, would you paint your walls yellow ?, would you eat off yellow plates ?

Yellow should be for one thing only, custard, yes... Yellow tastes good with apple pie it looks **** on cars

OI.

Nothing wrong with yellow cars.

But I will agree don't think it suits the Ferrari out all, I am in the red / cream leather brigade on a Ferrari, my next choice would be black or silver. Yellow does not suit many cars at all to be honest, I think my 911 only just gets away with it and Lambo's seem to pull it of best.

Dave I emailed you a couple months ago but got no reply , We were in Florida for the whole of November .

Scania · 23 Dec 2013 at 13:20

I'm finding it a bit difficult to believe some would really prefer the Jaaaaaag over the Ferrari.

Sure, personal preference and all that, but I honestly think given the choice of the two, side by side, most if not all would actually take the Ferrari, even in that colour scheme!

am i the only one who was more jealous by the fact that you have xmas decorations hanging outside in the blazing sun!

If it were a classic/special Ferrari then yeah. But a generic (yes that's where i put the F430) soft-top one just shouts "Look at me i have money in a hot place so gots me a Ferrari, DUURRRRR" (usually followed by a crash).

I know OP isn't that guy, but that's what generic Ferraris say to me usually.

I wouldn't of made the same decision as OP. Though, i am a lover of Jaaaaaags.

The thought did cross my mind, in between being distracted by the rain hammering against the windows.

Oh, and <3 yellow

that looks good.. fez not so much

Not sure on the colour, always thought Ferraris should be red. However... as nice as the Jag was, this F430 is on another level. Love that open gate manual box too. Win.
