Congratulations! Such brilliant cars. Have 2 models on my desk to make me work harder so I can hopefully have one in the future!

Amazing

A yellow one whizzed past me on the A413 over the weekend. Soo much road presence.

I had a lovely LHD no stripe 430 Scuderia in Giallo Modena for a few years - loved the colour!

Did you go Giallo Modena or the triple-layer paint? Post some more pics when it's back!!

I was out in Australia last week. Sitting at a lovely little cafe in the sun at Narrabeen beach and a stunning Rosso Corsa 296 GTS burbled past. It looked epic with the roof down in the Summer Australian sun. They really do look pretty and have a great road presence!

Go for it mate - if you ever get the chance there is nothing better than owning a Ferrari (if you are an afflicted car fanatic that is!)

I went Giallo Modena, partly because I had a 360 in that colour years ago and loved it, partly because while I love the triple layer, it can be murder to match it if you need any paint and partly because I was already at nearly £50k in options before local tax is added on top. Will send pics when it is here.

Any more talk of huge discounts on advertised prices?
I’m doing a lot of thinking about these (still the best car I’ve ever driven) and a dealer is offering 9k off their used price. I’m still nervous about depreciation (particularly if someone did manage to get one at £160k!), so interested if they are selling better now?

Weather is improving so prices will rise slightly imo. It's been sunny recently and I think people are starting to spot they're good value at the price they're at

I think the lows came and went.

I can’t see any reason why these will ever move anything other than downwards for the next 5 or so years. It’s happened to every equivalent Ferrari for as long as I remember, excluding the one off impact of C19. Nothing to be concerned by, just a return to the long term norm.

Yes they have firmed up now. Anyone hoping to pick one up for £150k is in for a long wait

Not sure they did, a main dealer car was hovering at circa £220k in Jan, theres a few now for £195k ish.

I think they'll firm up now until next winter. At £195k it's a lot of car for the money. For me it'd be that or an F12 in the other half of the garage.

The 296 is so much more car imo... Its the best Ferrari I've ever driven tbh, looks wise, usability etc, brilliant. I'm tempted to daily mine. Its even nice being able to leave the house / come back to the house with the engine off so as not to wake the kids.

I’m really tempted to go for one but also really nervous where the prices could go.

I think it will go down but not at the rate that has done over the past year, I think it'll be much more stable than the sf90
