Honestly, unless you plan on just storing the car, I have always had reservations on Ferrari bianco avus of this generation because it's pretty much common knowledge that Ferrari paint quality isn't that great to start with and so, over exposure and time avus inevitably will yellow significantly.
I have a friend who had one and he only clear bra'd the front half, after a few years he redid the clear and his front half was a different shade of white than the front after they removed the old bra, lol.

Price is about that....should be no more than $5k max. This way you could buy the color with best resale value; you could have your cake & eat it too!!

It's what inevitably prompted the sale of the car =) He ended up getting a 599 GTO so he was a happy camper again.
I'm kinda curious though how the new owner dealt with it because I know he did not correct the paint or re-apply the clear bra.

I just remembered this thread....here's an update:
I've realized that I don't really think I can be totally happy with a semi automatic gearbox, so I've given up on the idea of a Scuderia. I'll just get a manual gearbox F430 and mod. it a bit. So if any of you guys hear of a white or silver manual gearbox F430 coupe, please let me know!
In the meantime, I'd like to thank everyone who commented in this thread!

Great decision George. It would be nice to know if Ferrari made more F430 Scuderia than F430 manual gearbox, because manuals will be more rare than scuderias, and maybe more desired since those were the last manual cars made by Ferrari.

Now that's the interior I want to have!! Somehow it just doesn't seem right to me if there isn't a shifter between the seats! It's pretty disappointing that this is the last manual gearbox car Ferrari will produce! What's next, a Ferrari/Prius?
