    Re: 488 GTB/GTS

    JR-550:

    If have a question for you Ferrari 488 experts. I can buy a new 488GTB Spider one off Tailor Made. Beautiful car white with all carbon in blue, blue rims and blue leather interior and the panels in teak wood very special. The cost of all these "extra's" is over 100.000 Euro. Do you think a car like this will hold somewhat its value? Or are these type of cars after a few years unsellable?

     

    Short answer is no.

    All depends on how long you hold the car. Short term, perhaps yes and you probably can flip it for some profit.

    But long term, no, the fluff from Tailor Made doesn't hold value. Unless it's REALLY tailor made, like with unique body panels and stuff that sets it apart from other 488.

    Re: 488 GTB/GTS

    Thanks for the info, I am not a flipper looking to keep a car like this for at least 5 years. But you confirm my idea basically the extra you pay for the tailor made is gone. They sell the car at the moment basically for the sticker price. Not sure though if Ferrari does not give discounts on cars like this.

    Enclosed a (not so good) picture of the car, next to a 2013 Ferrari Sergio, only 110km). This a modified 458 as tribute to Sergio Pininfarina; only 10 of these are made. They tried to sell this car for 3,7 mlj Euro but now after 18 months the price dropped to 2 mlj Euro. So even these "unique" Ferrari are not that easy to sell.

    I would go on every car for a more basic spec. In long term you won't get the money back and imho it's about the car and not all the carbon bits and bytes ;)

    True...unless he would get a Pista but to be honest, I'm not so sure the Pista will hold it's value.

    I wanted to order a special Ad Personam color for my Huracan Performante, cost was around 11k EUR. Now I'm kind of happy I didn't order it. A guy I know was lucky, he bought a dealer stock car with a very special Ad Personam color and basically got it for free. Different story when the price is right. 😎

    Re: 488 GTB/GTS

    IMO the Pista is dramatically overpriced, all those carbon bits and pieces, that should have been standard at first, have now to be paid extra, resulting in ridiculous final prices.
    In Geneva we will see the revised 488 GTB with basically the same power as, some say even more power than the Pista. This won't be for the benefit of the Pista as well.

    Currently the Pista is in a hype, the thing to get as it is the newest to come from Maranello, but I guess that will change soon and Pistas prices will drop.
    Of course you could argue, that the Pista is the last of the special series with V8-TT from Ferrari, but will that be as convincing as the last NA-V8 in the Speciale?

    Re: 488 GTB/GTS

    Have you seen McLaren prices, especially for slightly used cars? Oh boy... heart

    The local McLaren dealer has a 720S with under 7000 km for 248k EUR... It was tempting before I got the Performante but what for? From 0-200 kph, the Performante is actually faster in real life (AWD, more spontaneous throttle response), on the track it is very likely faster as well, it is at least as fun on twisty roads, it sounds much much better, it uses bulletproof Audi tech and has a wide(r) dealer network (in an emergency, any Audi R8 dealership can basically check the car for issues) and it has an n/a engine. Make no mistake, the 720S is a monster, I said it before but this is a car I would have loved to own 10 years ago.

    12C? Even cars with under 20k km dropped below 120k EUR. Some even hit under 100k with under 30k km. Insane.

    Once the 750LT or whatever the name will be hits the roads, the 720S will drop further in value.

    Too many interesting high performance cars out there on the market, with new ones coming in. Only a few "special" models will keep their value or even increase in value. Thats for sure.

    I saw a standard 458 this morning in traffic and I gotta say this particular picture really makes it evident how much they've tacked on too that original design. almost looks aftermarket to me here. Time for Ferrari to put out a new model, not just another facelift.

    Has someone else noticed that prices for used sportscars, in general, have dropped over the last couple of months? 

    I saw a couple of low mileage 488 GTB under 200k EUR in Germany...also the first 12C under 100k EUR (33k km only). Also GT3 prices have dropped...

    Re: 488 GTB/GTS

    Got offered a Testarossa for 60k EUR a few days ago...unbelievable. Pretty good shape actually but no thanks, I have no clue about Ferraris. I always loved the Testarossa because it was the first Ferrari I rode in (as a passenger)...it was actually a stolen(!) car from Belgium, which was supposed to go to Lebanon by ship.  No, don't ask but it was an amazing car, since that time always had an affection for it. No, I'm not a car thief, on the contrary.

    Re: 488 GTB/GTS

    RC you are right the prices are dropping at the moment. The Porsche 911 exlusive and GT2 are really going down at the moment. Even the Carerra GT's prices are dropping, this I find strange.


    Re: 488 GTB/GTS

    IMO, linked to global recession signs reflected in stock exchange drops since last August.

    Also possibly the concern from some people how long we will be allowed to drive supercars on the road (emission restrictions)?...

    A half blind Swede, buying a matte blue Ferrari, with differnt shades of blue and lots of yellow accents.
