296 Values and Used Market

The comments hating on the 296 just come from ignorance. The car demolishes a 458/488. Not close. They were great cars for their day. But not comparatively against a 296.

 

I find it really weird behavior.

 

I really think there are people on this chat who don't own or have ever owned a 296. Also probably never driven a 296, because if you have it is dynamically one of the best cars available. I don't drive mine back to back with my 458 Speciale, because they are just not in the same league. The 458 is an epic car but just can't hold a candle to the 296 driving experience.

No.

 

Of course there are. This isn't a thread for owners discussing the handling of the car, its a market value thread. The market value isn't just determined by owners, its also determined by people who might buy it but aren't for various reasons. How well the car drives is important, but its only one factor in what the market value of the car is. Ferrari could make that more important by making it easier for prospective buyers to drive the car. But its still going to be just one factor.
How many they make, the economy, the perceptions around the hybrid (right or wrong) are all huge drivers on the price. Like it or not, alot of Ferrari's don't get driven very much and even those that are, most owners didn't buy the car because it drives slighty better than a 458/F8/Mclaren/Lambo.
