US President-elect’s Ferrari F430 to be auctioned

At the auction, Rockstar Car Auction will change the owner of the F430, which was first owned by Donald Trump. The American billionaire purchased the Ferrari in July 2007 and didn’t bother with the configurator: the coupe has a traditional red Rosso Corsa body, standard silver five-double-spoke wheels and the popular light brown interior. The odometer shows 9,395 miles (15 thousand kilometers).

The history of the car is beyond doubt: there is a warranty card in the name of Donald Trump, an original sticker on the glass, as well as documents with the future US President on the list of owners. There are no questions about the external condition: the body is covered with a protective film, and the supercar itself was stored in a room with a constant temperature under the original cover.

The buyer will receive a coupe that has been serviced by an authorized Ferrari dealer. For 18 years, the F430 has not developed any defects, so experts consider the supercar an attractive investment asset. The filling is standard: the naturally aspirated 4.3-liter V8 is combined with a 6-speed “robot” Graziano F1.

Donald Trump’s previous car, the Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster, was auctioned for twice as much, and Ferrari may have a similar story. Similar Ferraris with mileage up to 10 thousand miles (16 thousand kilometers) in the US cost from 130 to 160 thousand dollars, but the Donald Trump factor may allow them to exceed the $300 thousand mark.

The online auction will take place from February 16 to March 9, 2024, that is, after the US President officially takes office for the second time. However, Donald Trump’s name will clearly remain on the front pages of newspapers, so interest in his former car is guaranteed.
