Ferrari F40 Values - Past and Present

Does anyone know whether a record of changing F40 values exists, from launch to now?

I would be interested to know how values rocketed in the late 80s, fell and have risen again.

Any guidance much appreciated.

Thanks for that! Good idea.

Jamie,

I do not think I could justify the outlay currently. However in the medium term it could be viable.

Thanks

"We'll see!"

Beautiful cars, that's for sure.

Why do you ask?

Nice little F40 review here:

It is impossible to tell what the market will do....

F40s still look expensive compared to the rapidly depreciating Enzo-esque 458s:

Just illustrating how the performance game moves on with technology and time.

The bottom line is that you can't fool the market - hence the strong F40 prices. There is a LHD one available near me currently at £450,000!

Servicing costs, replacement fuel tanks etc don't help justify the proposition either!

Not even my man maths could compute that!

Although it'd be a shame to take one off the road, if current values keep climbing as they have compared to 5-8years ago, it's a nice place for a few quid to sit in storage for another 5years.
It'd be a real shame to get such a beautiful car and hide it as an investment, but there's not many other ways of doubling your money in that sort of term, and I'd hazard a guess that they're not getting any cheaper any time soon.

Imagine the temptation to your petrol head knowing it's there, but the investment head says keep in tucked away.... I think I'd end up putting 5-10k miles a year on it

Out of interest, what were the F40 prices 5-8years ago?

If the Indians and Chinese get a taste for car collecting, they will hardly be within reach of mere mortals again.

Are they rare enough though for the serious collector? Maybe not.....

F40 prices of £150,000 in 2006 to £450,000 in 2012 = recipe for serious trouble.

I would be amazed if these values can be sustained. What goes up, must come......?!

Then again we do live in a crazy world.

My bet is they will come down considerably.

Agree, I bought my 993RS for £38K with 30k miles on clock. Its now got 60k miles on clock and is worth c.£100k. If I'd stored it it would be worth c.£125k...but I would have missed out on 30k miles of motoring nirvana!

The 993 RS is a real beauty, but is it 5 or 6 times the car that a 996 Carrera 4S is? The price is that much higher. I guess it depends on how bad you want it!

I've changed my mind regarding santa list. I'm going to ask for a crystal ball instead of an F40!

I still maintain those prices can't last.
