    I'm thinking about an F-Car (360 series) and trying to work through figuring depreciation and how it will hold it's value. Any general round guestimating? I've looked at many cars listed on Dupont Reg, online and in mags. Used pricing is all over the map and it's hard to sort out what kind of depreciation happens.

    Any thoughts or direction?

    You should look at the 355 series on depreciation. Since the 355 series is similar to the 360 series just a few years in delay, what I get from it is that the price will go down just not alot. There is always going to be new V-8 Ferrari successors that can beat the past model, but in about 20 years or so the price will plane out or go up alittle kind of like the 308s.

    My only point of reference is the 308 series which seems to have bottomed out and is now appreciating. The new sales prices were in the low 80's and the bottom out pricing for an 85 308 seems to have been about $33k, thus you could roughly estimate a 360 will lose approximately 60% of its new sales price when "bottoming". Accordingly, using a new 360 cost of $220k, a used 360 should bottom out at around $90k.

    This is a REALLY rough estimate, remember - garbage in, garbage out....

    MSRP for an 85 308 was about 59K. Nice ones could never be had for less than about 35K. The bottom was probably 1995-97. 360's did not cost $220. Even 430 coupes had a base price of about 170K is 2005. 10K more for paddles. Not sure about the spiders.
