First  and foremost there is no such thing as an insulting offer
You work hard for your money and that's a fact

Get it for as cheap as you can because if you had to un load it 
You would get "that insulting offer" then
Think about that for a moment

Keep in mind they are sitting on 9 F430's of various flavors.  That's out of
21 Ferrari's in their inventory (from webpage)...  I'd go low.  
And nice choice with the manual.  I wouldn't want one of the manu-matics.
Now if you can just get Clyde to do your negotiating...

pay too much.  Given that there are few resources out there to compare
prices on, this is going to be somewhat of a gut feel.  We already know, or
feel that $120K is too little and you aren't going to pay $159,900.  Offer
them $130K and see what they come back with.   You can always walk away and
tell them that it is a standing offer and that it ends as soon as you find a
2007 430.
