Here's Your Chance to Own President Trump's Ferrari
A Ferrari F430 once owned by President Trump is crossing the auction block today.
The 2007 Ferrari F430 is currently on display at a convention center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida before it heads to an Auctions America event. The exotic is expected to raise between $250,000 to $350,000.
Trump bought the F430 brand new for personal use and owned it for just over four years, putting 2,400 miles on the odometer. Since then, its second owner has added 3,600 miles more since purchasing the car in 2011.

It features a traditional Ferrari red exterior and tan leather interior and according to the original dealer sticker, there weren’t very many options added. But those that were added includes red-painted brake calipers, an optional style of power seat called “Daytona,” upholstered headliner and Scuderia Ferrari shield badges.
The F430 is powered by a 4.3-liter V8 engine sporting 490 horsepower and features a six-speed F1 paddle-shift transmission. The car will come with all of its manuals, tool kit and service records.
“It’s well known that President Trump appreciates the finer things in life and this Ferrari F430 is no exception. At the time of its release, it was one of the most technologically advanced performance cars on the market. Already a low production vehicle, its provenance is significantly increased by President Trump’s ownership,” said Auctions America. “To see a former or current President’s personal vehicle offered for sale is extremely rare. It’s highly likely Donald Trump is the only United States President to ever own a Supercar. This Ferrari F430 is very special and is sure to make an excellent addition to any collection.”

Not that I would ever touch anything that POS douchenozzle ever touched, but I kinda wish I could buy it, just so I could destroy it, since it used to be his. Symbolic really, since that's what he's doing with the country and anything Obama had a hand in.
A Ferrari buyer is going to care far more about the service records than who used to own it.
