the Ferrari market watch thread

Apparently.

I hope me being too old for one is a long way off.

 

And the replacement Takata airbags every 4 years...

 

.....and powersteering.

 

You're well past your use by date

 

Not from what you just said

 

Troy's birthday is the 13th March .... I can only remember it because it was one week before I bought my GT4

The nurses wouldn't let him come home in it as the car restraints for the capsule weren't anchored in the right spots

 

What? Well how come for the last several years has everyone been saying happy birthday to Troy on the 13th of April?

 

Oh ****

Youre right
Forgot my own boy's birthday

Im a great dad ........ really, i am

 

If your buying a 458 I am told that the gearbox was better after 2012

I've heard that too, but Marc reckons they have no troubles unless they are tracked/raced. I don't know exactly WHAT troubles they have though?

 

488 for sub 200k....when do we reckon? 2024?

 

About the same time when 360 F1s are sub $50k

 

10 years time everyone will want the F1

It will be seen as the manual of the paddle shift. Single clutch goodness.

 

Whilst your loving how fast the car accelerates, you can also watch how quickly the depreciation cycle kicks in and the value plummets
With the number of newer faster models that will be coming out of Maranello the second hand market for 488s will continue to push the 458s down

Nope, they'll cross. 488's will be cheaper

 

Not really seeing that, the 458, being the last normally aspirated mid engined car seems to be quite popular.
488 prices are being squeezed by oversupply (Pista situation) and becase of the arrival of the F8. The F8 is a better car (and will be last mid engined, pure ICE Ferrari). 488 prices will fall below 458's.

 

Yep.

Desirability equation :

458 = 355
488 = 360

 

Quite possibly Mike, but who knows. I thought the manual 430’s prices would go through the roof, but they seem to be stagnating on carsales. Certainly the 458 has the last NA appeal, and is, IMO, a better car and does seem to be holding its own in regards to pricing. Perhaps I’ll wait and eventually afford a 488.

I see the comparison Ian, but the 488 wasn’t allowed to be personally imported under the RAWS regs, so isn’t quite the same as the 360, but the volume is certainly pretty high. The 360 suffers from the ‘is it Aus delivered?’ syndrome.

I agree with Ian which means he's right

 

458 = 308
488 = 328

We can play this game all night, Ferrari has a habit of replacing great cars with lesser "improvements".

458 = 550
488 = 575

458 = 328
488 = 348

458 = 365GTB/4 (Daytona)
488 = 365BB

 

Try it with Porsches.
