Hi Everyone
I was wondering what peoples current thoughts are with regards to the Pista, are they a decent buy in todays market and where are they like to be in 3 or 4 years? i am certainly not looking at it as an investment but just trying to gauge the potential depreciation cost.
Thanks

Who knows… they are certainly on the rise in the US- but then so is everything else!. Can’t help think that the F8 has impacted residuals though. Having spent time in both, I prefer the F8 as a road car, but the Pista looks amazing and much more special visually imo.

Used car bubble will burst at some stage, probably 2 years time at then it will be a sub £250k car.
How much lower i couldn't say but at todays £329k prices I reckon you are looking at £80k depreciation with buying and selling margin.
Could be worse

Well done, Much much more exciting than a F8, most importantly drive the bloody thing, never see them at supercar meets as the owners are scared to put miles on them. Make sure the tyres are warmed up,and if I was you put Michelin PS4S on it asap.

Wow i cant believe you’ve had it since October and not driven it yet. I am struggling to wait just a week. Mine’s an Argento Nurburgring with navy and white stripes, I think it’s stunning, ill post some photos when i pick it up.

Thank you, i fully intend to. I agree with the F8, I drove one at Millbrook and whilst i liked it, i wasnt smitten. The Pista was a different story, i knew i had to have it the minute i saw it!

Congratulations on the Pista, a bit hard core for me but I certainly get the appeal. Agree completely about putting MPS4S tyres on it, they have transformed my GT3s. I wouldn’t worry about depreciation, you can’t take it with you and besides, in 3 or 4 years, what are you going to replace it with??

Having said that, I was tempted to look around and found one at Romans, £300k, looked super, called to enquire, long gone, the PH sales adverts seem to hang around long after the car has gone. Since then, prices have hardened and I think I have missed the boat. Pity, the man-maths was looking very water-tight.

The trade is saying values have dropped off and softening generally.

Not many pista advertised on market at mo but here more are available behind the scenes.
Got to hand it to Ferrari controlling used car prices and apparent supply via dealers.

More will hit market in next 6 weeks as consumers look for their easter cars.
Let the fun begin

Did I see you yesterday driving out of Chelford after the hail storm?

If so looked stunning.

I remember seeing this at Stratstone last year, really cool it has got Vettel's signature on the sill and a very bright clean looking car, very well priced too due to lack of inertia seatbelts.

Lovely car sir!
