    Curious, is there a somewhat useful guide that tabulates used Ferrari market prices over time? Wondering if such a thing exists - beyond auctions, and inferences from For Sale ads?

    I guess a follow-on question would be, based on where 430 Scud prices are now, what do you think the future will hold for a version that is kept original, maintained, but accumulates mileage (assume no track). Trying to get a sense of how the Scud specifically is viewed by those in the know.

    Just curious to hear thoughts on this.

    Cheers

    IMO prices are still trending down slowly after the recent uptick in most Ferrari prices.
    IF the economy stays stable I think they will fall another 25% max then stabilise. Thay are nearing the bottom of their depreciation curve but there is that last bit which takes awhile.
    Long term , (like when they are 30+ yrs old) , they will become very sought after like all race-car-for-the-street special editions.

    The 430's should reach their low point around when the 488 replacement appears, or ten years after the last model year. That's the rule of thumb I use.

    The 360's are there now, so maybe look at a Challenge Stradale?

    Hagerty and the Ferrari Market Letter are good on prices, as is the Kidston K500 index. But nothing comes close to getting to know a couple of reputable dealers with a good knowledge of the models you are interested in, dropping by, and bending their ear on a regular basis. Chatting over coffee. If they are reputable, they will give you a good idea of the current state of the market. And also how which models are viewed by the market.

    Nobody can predict the future, though we try. The 430 forum has some good threads on Scuderias which are worth joining. Scuds went up fast and then down fast. On the plus side, they are amazing cars; more engaging than a Speciale, more driveable than a CS. On the negative, they weren't limited in production so supply was quite extensive, the Speciale is faster, and not everyone loves their transmission. How the market views all that in five years time is anyone's guess, but there are very few more exciting ways to find out than to own a Scud. Enjoy.

    Thanks guys for taking the time to respond - will definitely consider this, and as suggested, start spending some time face to face with folks in the know (including local shop(s) that I may use for service.

    Cheers

    I actually have a follow-on question: when looking into a used (recent) Ferrari, is there a resource that lists all the factory options that were available on a particular model?

    I have learned a fair bit comparing pictures and FS ads, but wondering if there is a definitive source for what was actually available - and then I can formulate an opinion of which ones matter to me.

    Cheers

    Matt
