Been speaking about getting a V12 car now for years, either a FF, F12 or Vantage V12 manual, does anyone have a view if these cars have stabilised in price, or does anyone think there is a drop coming?

Not many of either around at the moment.

I am also monitoring the v12 market for a while, they all have their price up since early of this year.

Last year I was able to find some FF at around 90k but it is nearly impossible to get one now.

Same story also applied to F12, probably it has a smaller % of increasement but the overall price is still high.

I am a bit negative about the current used car market as the global ecnomy won't be able to recover to the same level as 2019 or before in the near future, hence the current price tag will remain, for a long time maybe ... frown

I had a chance to buy an Electric Blue FF one owner from new for around £90k late 2019. I think the next 12 months will be interesting.

FFs have been much cheaper in the UK than in Europe. I think that a number of people have bought well in the last 12-18 months. I don't see UK FF prices softening again (and I have no skin in this game as I live in a LHD market). It's a shame you didn't go for the Blue one in the end.

ETA: I notice that there is still some value to be had. If black on black is your thing then there's a privately advertised 16k mile car in the PH classifieds for 108k with plenty of nice extras from the options list.

That is a nice looking car, not sure why someone would de-badge Ferrari. He only 20 miles from me, but I am going to wait until the new year for any car, as I move house hopefully in 6 weeks, and will have a spare garage that needs filling.

I bought an FF 6 months ago. Have just decided to change to a McLaren 720. the dealer I purchased the FF from offered the same money I paid. I would say the prices have definitely stabilised. The FF is a great car IMHO - if funds (and wife) would allow I would be holding onto it as well

I have run a V12 Vantage manual for 3 years and its about to be listed on collecting cars, they have set the reserve at about what i paid for the car so I am fairly confident the values have been stable for a while

Also while looking about for its replacement other cars have been fairly steady too from your list

I just plumped for a V12S Volante (vanquish)

advertised price seems to be what they were advertised at a year ago, so in reality I paid more i guess as there should be a year of depreciation in the mix, good time of year to buy a cabriolet though, be interesting to see what its price does this coming spring.

Setting off to southern Spain on Monday. 4 days travelling on my tod, picking the Mrs up from Alicante airport on Friday.

Bliss. Same on the way back for Christmas but I've allowed an extra day to play out in the Peco Mountains. Much wiggly roads.:-)

Got it down and cleaned it ready today.

Buy one. That's all I have to say about that. ;-)

It's a beautiful looking car, I actually went to look at one yesterday but sadly I don't think it's going to be possible with two young children. The look on my wife face when she realised there was no back seats pretty much killed it. She liked the GTC4lusso and we both like the FF just not the colour they had. We also went to see a DBS and surprisingly the kids fitted in that ok, but they don't seem very good value currently.

They're never good value, trust me. Great fun, and if you can, why wouldn't you, but they're not a financial investment smile

On the contrary, they’re great value. If you drive and enjoy them, especially on road trips into Europe. :-)

Cost and value are different things.

They aren’t cheap though that’s true but then again, how boring is a pile of £50 notes compared to an F12 on a mountain pass in August?

Amen Leg.

I’m resigned to my F12 costing me a fortune because I know damn well I won’t be able to keep the miles off her. I love driving the damn thing.

Every single mile and every single £ that costs me will absolutely be money well spent though.

After all as a man once said: fk em if they can’t take a joke!

I agree these V12 Ferraris are way too special not to drive, after all they will still depreciate even if sat permanently in a garage. Its a bit like keeping a thoroughbred horse and be scared to take it out of the stable in case something bad happens. Its not healthy for man or beast.
Just come back from a quick drive in my 812 just for the hell of it. Even in the dark and slow traffic it makes you feel alive.

Took the wife and two boys away for the weekend in our Ferrari 365Gt4 2+2.
The sound and experience of the V12 is fantastic and highly recommended.

We got home and had to shuffle cars around in preparation for winter storage.
Moving the 1994 456 manual resulted in a 30 mile B road blast.

V12 engines are very enjoyable and we have them today. Tomorrow’s electrical cars although mostly faster provide no comparable experience
