Possibly a stupid question, but are people getting F8 discounts presently as per the Roma thread?

Looking to get into a Ferrari imminently, probably in the new year, and been thinking between a 430 which I've had before and really enjoyed, or a 599 which I've always wanted (but I can't quite understand how market pricing works which examples at similar ages all over the place price wise), or something else, like maybe just biting the bullet and ordering a new F8 and keeping it for a couple of years to even out the depreciation.
I've other cars so no rush, and this wouldn't be used every day, its just a bit of fun for road trips and date nights.
What's a realistic price to pay on an F8 now? Would I likely lose some daft figure in year one or do people think they'll depreciate relatively slowly given its the last V8?
Having a think what to get is part of the fun of getting any new car for me - tbh I'm sure the cheapest way to go would be to buy a decent 430 and it wouldn't cost or lose anything. F8 probably the other end of the scale?

Yes, Ferrari are having a bit of a clear out. The order books for the F8 Tributo and Spider and the 812 SF and GTS are all closed. I heard the F8 closure came suddenly and unexpectedly. Potential customers who were prevaricating were left high and dry. The F8 was only ever an end of life facelift of the 488 GTB though I am very happy with my F8 Spider.
Once the orders on-hand have been fulfilled, we’ll be left with the Portofino M and Roma which will presumably be hybridised once the 296 GTB is bedded in with the 296 Spider appearing soon.
As for the V12s, there’s the Competizione and Aperta and the SP3 Daytona. After that, it’s anybody’s guess where the V12 is headed.
Then we have the Purosangue waiting in the wings…

Out of the V8’s, if buying again I’d definitely have another 488. The F8 is lovely of course, but don’t think the current strong pricing is worth the additional premium over a nice spec 488. I honestly can’t myself see buying any of the new incoming vehicles listed above. They all leave me feeling rather flat.
