Best Used Ferrari Value in today's market

The 2+2's are always the answer to this question. I want a 612 myself, and have been looking for a while, but the most Ferrari for the money currently is the FF.

I just can't stand the looks.

 

458s are really tempting me lately. Waiting for prices to drop under 120k. Hopefully another year or two.

 

Higher mile ones will get there but lower mile ones will hang around the 150ks. Low mile 430s are dropping anymore.

that makes sense. I'm not afraid of one with 15-30k miles in fact i'd almost prefer it. Over 30k miles is more than I would want though.

 

4ish years ago I bought a 15k mile car that had a full service history and its been expensive to maintain. I listed all the services in a thread in the 430 section if u care.

Oh for sure 458's will drop below 120K.

Question..why would you want to buy a car thats hopefully depreciating in value ?

 

Seems EVERYONE wants a taste of a 458. (Me included) given the demand, I would be very skeptical of them dropping below $120k

 

Hard to say a $120k 550 maranello isn't a deal, a v12 with a stick that looks that good, im pretty sure 10 years from now they'll be much more than they are today. Gorgeous cars.

 

Not sure I understand. All cars depreciate I just need 458s to get to a point where I can afford one.

Seems like it, but Ferrari also made a lot of them. There's a ton of supply out there.

 

If the 458 drops to 120 or so, where does that put the 430 and 360? I can’t imagine a nice well sorted out 360 for 50k and 430s at 75k.

I'd guess 70s for 360s and 90s for 430s

 

I would argue this is true. Most car folks have the Mondial very low on the 'food' chain, hence the very low cost of entry. For folks that do like the Mondial (like myself) I have found there is a cult-like appreciation for the model.

This all said the question was "What is the best value Ferrari?"

I find it hard to find another model that fits the bill if, by value, you mean cost to fun ratio; assuming, of course, you get a well-sorted one. The Mondial line is a lot of "F car" for the money.

 

Maybe a few years ago, but now so now. Depending on when you bought it, correct me if I'm wrong - but you're probably ahead cost wise? Not many modern Ferrari owners can say they netted positive if they sold today.

 

Why would you not say this is a great value? To me the great 'value' Ferrari cars would be those that have realized most if not all of their depreciation. This to me is the biggest factor in assessing 'value.'

 

FF right now

 

^^^Holy smokes^^^ I should have checked the timestamp on some of the comments in this thread - didn't realize it was started years ago. Makes my comments on the 308 GT4 look genius!

2014 was right around the time these cars doubled and in some cases trippled in value.

I rest my case.

 

That’s why you should get a GTA. Because it is a real oil pan automatic. A box perfect for those traffic jams. I had a Masserati Cambiocorsa and a M3 with SMG. It was like driving a Rolls Royce when I got back in mye Chevy Avalanche so I sold the two sequential and keep the 550 manual + the Avalanche. Best of both worlds. And no need for clutch replacements.

 

Wasn't the 456/M automatic adapted by Ferrari from a US HD pickup truck unit? In any event, the shifts are positive, and it is in no way a slush-box. But no, not sequential.

 

There's a sharp 612 on BAT right now-

Haaaa! I've had my GT4 for 10 yrs and even then I worked a great deal buying the car-you're on the money, I'm way ahead. That said I'm surprised they haven't cooled off further in the last couple of yrs after that run up not so long after I bought it.

 

if you want to feel what Ferrari was really all about, here are my suggestions 308 / 328 / top the list, then 348 / Testa Rossa, 355 manual, If your rich, F40 / 50 288 GTO 512 Boxer I also like V12 front Engine, 550 575 599 but never drove any so I dont know if that all encompassing Ferrari feeling can be had, I have never driven F40 / 50 or 288 GTO, but i know in my gut and from what i have seen heard that they also deliver what Ferrari was all about.

thank you

 

Good for you sir!!! I love stories like this! Well done!

 

So, did the OP ever step up and buy a car?

 

Scud definitely undervalued for its performance...faster than an Enzo
