Wednesday 24th January

What are everyone's thoughts currently on the UK market for a used Ferrari. Good time to consider a purchase or wait?

I imagine the responses will be almost exactly the same as to your posts in this thread asking more or less the same question six weeks ago !

Absolutely buy now! Look at the prices! You have a golden time of the market crash coinciding with winter. Come spring there will be an uplift and prices are likey to firm. Not saying they are going to rocket up but I really don't see how it could get any worse than it has been in the last 2/3 months.

Look at this for 109k

Added to this there are likey to be some reductions in interest deals so the stage is set for something of a recovery. At least you'll be able to buy and be pretty sure that you aren't going to loose your shirt and that's a win to me.

Yeah, I know. I guess I'm a big kid at heart that is eager to get a Ferrari but I also don't want to be the guy that loses tens of thousands because he didn't wait a mere few months. I've been there literally every single time before with other car brands and I want to play it smart for once.

As long as you like the colour scheme that looks like a cracking deal on the face of it.

I'm kind of kicking myself as I just bought a 718 GT4 that was only a bit less than this! Ah well the GT4 is awesome.

Stunning car for the money, does anyone know much about that particular dealer?

Other half bought her R8 from them over 2 years ago, wouldn't hesitate to purchase another car from them.

I would have it inspected as with any 458 just looks such good value.

This was Scottish chap on here footsoldier from new. Was pleased the second owner stored it next to mine in London underground so I had a good look at it. Cracking in the flesh.

thats amazing knowing the previous. Small world.

is there a 'better' looking 488 for sale?

Agree, and hope your enjoying.
Definitely not seen a better looking one.
I definitely don’t need another car (5) ,but was seriously tempted by this.
If you don’t mind,please share some of the images ?

Looks like 458s are on the march upwards. This one doesn't even have carbon

It is the far more fun car, always said the 458's would overtake equivalent miles 488 spec for spec and that is now starting to happen and the Speciale has now truly surpassed the Pista valies, with Pista's now from 260k, it would be a dream come true if one could still get a Speciale for said money.
