Up until 2009, F-Cars really didn't depreciate much. The F458 is just so much better and the 2006/07 F430's are all coming off warranty, a perfect storm, so to speak. So the F-Cars finally took a mega hit over the last 18 months. On the flip side, I'm still seeing used 458's with up to 4000 miles selling for $20k more than the owner paid. There are very few if any 458's on the lot. 99% are pre sold and F-Car dealers are getting 0-2 a month. It will be quite a while before F458's backslide. Demand is still way ahead of supply. My guy is booked out for the next 18 months and his F458 Spider requests are two pages long.

Now what's left are the real players in the game. The 'not just rich on paper, but rich period' people. The flippers are gone (for the most part).
Smaller buyer pool, cars drop like a rock. But like you said; the perfect storm happened.
I do agree that if Ferrari maintains a strong hold on the allocation; demand will remain high- and resale values- However that having been said I know (personally) 4 people who have either for-gone their 458 allocation or already traded theirs in/sold it.
It is a remarkable car. NO doubt though....

Uh, Ferrari succumbed to the same thing EVERYTHING did- 2008 Economy Crash and SMALLER buyer pool.

2009 wrecked everything in its path.

I've been reading through this thread and came to a conclusion, I don't care what car depreciates more or less it's all about how much you enjoy it.
Also I envy the people in this thread that can afford to buy these cars and thank them for sharing their insight and buying experiences. It's all fascinating to me
Happy motoring

Also want to thank the people in this thread that took it up the ars buying these cars and thank them for making me understand how good it is I've not purchased any of these CASH UP IN FLAMES depreciating assets.

Even with the LE, I'm not 100%. More like 98% sure. One Porsche AG source said absolutely, another source said, they're waiting until all GT2RS are sold to make the final call. To me the latter doesn't make sense. If they wait until late February, July delivery will still be possible,but tight.
