another money depreciation thread. Just buy the car drive it have the memories and own it long time and like all Ferraris will be worth more than you paid for it.. just check out what is happening to to 360 CS and 430 Scuderia market right now. F8 btw needs a better sounding exhaust.

I wouldn’t bank on it being a ‘good investment’ once the various running costs/dealer spread are factored in, at least not in the near term.

That said, if you want a super car in that price bracket then it’s probably a sensible bet on the depreciation front.

To be fair, I think all of the pre hybrid cars (California series apart) are safe bets, particularly with the crazy price increases on new cars over the last few years.
458’s, 488’s, F12’s, 812’s & even GTC4 seem to have dropped nothing.
None of them are investments but doubt they’ll cost you much in depreciation so you can enjoy driving them all the more.

If you lump non financial rewards in then it’s a very safe bet. I love driving mine.

As an investment in fun, joy and Ferrari V8 goodness, all be it slightly muted, it makes an excellent investment.

As a financial investment almost certainly not, it’s a car and not a limited one.

Which means there’s no excuse for doing the weird thing of buying a Ferrari and not driving it.

I think as a car to drive and not have to swallow huge depreciation it makes perfect sense, as an investment where at the end you calculate the return and compare it to other things probably less so. There are some cars that I think could be a truly good investment, but they are few and far between.

Seems to be far fewer F8’s available , prices seem to be stable for low mileage examples , however if that’s manifested in the actual sales price attained I don’t know, I’d imagine there’s a 20k dealer margin, from my experience Ferrari approved cars are no better and usually poorer prepared than independent dealers, I have serious doubts about the inspection process used in the dealer groups as a whole.

I'm looking for a 488 at the moment but would certainly consider an F8 despite it not sounding as good but there are not many around.
