Top 3 Ferraris under £/$200K that are most likely to appreciate

Blimey. I thought I would leave it a week and see if anybody replied.

Ha - No, I have not posted the question on a Lambo or Porsche forum. They are of course on my radar but ONLY these models:

Porsche 911 GT3/RS (997)
Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera or Balboni (A RWD Huracan EVO is coming towards me in price)

Anyway, back on topic.

I am deadly serious. I am coming into money (early pension drawdown) and looking to rather spend £1ook but can spend £150-odd.
I have been a Ferrari fan all my life and grew up with the 328, Testarossa, 288 GTO and F355. Family then came and I was not as interested in any Ferrari for ages and now I find myself hankering after any 'last of breed' Ferrari, as in a Manual F430 or the N/A 458.
I just cannot being myself to fancy the 550. 575 is nice and I prefer the 599 over both and they look like a LOT of car for about £100k.

I have had a good look at the CS and Scud and they do look like the models most likely candidates for financial stableness and don't scare me as a purchase.

I wont get the money for a while but if I had it I would definitely investigate this Scud properly:

Low miles, Ferrari dealer and looks like a reasonable spec for £150k

Some great comments in here.
I am naturally heart driven towards a Manual/Gated car - it just shouts 'originality' and 'engagement' to me and as the car will be a weekend and sunny climate toy then perhaps it should ALL be about heart.

On the flipside we have auto on our Bentley GTC and the Golf R and RS3 before that were both DCT and they are MUCH MUCH better as daily drivers and traffic situations.

Either way, whatever car it is, I will almost certainly only buy from an official dealer of that marque. I know it will have been properly looked at, offer a comfort level and also likely come with a 1 or 2 year factory warranty though not sure when they stop offering those depending on car age.

Your replies mean a lot. I truly appreciate it and it has definitely helped me narrow down my search.
My 'mental' issue is that this means SO much to me. I can't bear making a mistake
I want to make the right decision for me yet keeping in mind I will have to face the missus 2 years hence and show her that I still have a car worth a lot for her place abroad

 

Absolutely. I will take a ride in all of the shortlist with my oldest son, as his input means a lot to me.
His all-time favourite car is a 458 Italia. I wish I could afford a Speciale

I was figuring on £10k a year to run the car but was hoping depreciation would be minimal so the financial impact is just the having fun bit!

488s have come into play but they are not for me. With a 458 I would not be able to have a manual of course but the N/A engine makes up somewhat.

I reckon my top 3 right now are, in an order that changes daily, a manual F430 Spyder, a 458 Spyder and a 911 GT3 RS (997)
I have had a couple of LHD cars before and that doesnt scare me IF the spec, condition and price is right.
