As president and vice president, you must not drive a car on public roads, not even after the term of office is over.
On the other hand, you have to drive on your own land, something that, for example, George W. Bush utilizes by often rating his Ford F-150 on his ranch in Texas.
It is therefore common for US presidents to get rid of a large part of their car park.

Surprisingly tasteful
The car in question is a Rosso Corsa-red Ferrari F430 from 2007 with brown leather interior-a surprisingly tasteful specification.
Among the equipment are an F1 automatic transmission, an interior carbon fiber package and the Scuderia shields on the front wings. The purchase also includes a personal registration plate with the text “DJT”, card for Donald J. Trump.
In the advertisement, the US president is praised and described as “person of the year,” an award Trump received by Times Magazine.

A future collectible car?
According to the auction site Rockstar Car Auctions In Florida, the car has only gone 9,395 miles, corresponding to just over 1,500 miles. When it comes to Ferrari models, low miles are an important factor for value.
Regardless of the political position, cars owned by presidents, royalty and other dignitaries are often worth more than the corresponding models without the same ownership history.
This F430 will therefore be sold for a significantly higher sum than a “regular” F430.
The auction house estimates that the car will go for between $ 750,000 and 1,000,000 US dollars, equivalent to SEK 8 10.6 million.
The average price for a Ferrari F430 with automatic box is just over SEK 1.5 million.

Not the first time
This is not the first time a car with Donald Trump as a previous owner is sold for high sums.
A Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster, which he once owned, was sold in 2024 for $ 1.1 million, equivalent to SEK 11.7 million – about $ 7 million more than what a Diablo VT is normally valued.
