Just remember Ferrari don t do GMFV just lease purchase. Typically 50-55% balloon over 24 months.
The 4.9% definitely helped reduce stock for a bit but see it s building again.
Guess the issue for some will be refinancing costs at the end of the deal plus cost to extend the hybrid warranty. If you needed to offload, who knows what the trade-in will be?
Too much uncertainty for me; can t help thinking just as much fun and more certainty in one of the non hybrid alternatives.
A shame as the 296 is such a superb car, but seeing push back from buyers on all of the newer hybrids.
Stock isn't hugely building - although this time of year it will. Theres a similar number of 296's available currently to 812's (both c.90), there are considerably more 488's for sale.The 4.9% definitely helped reduce stock for a bit but see it s building again.

I'm working on the basis that the alternative Aston Vantage at 200k would have halved in value without a hybrid system, a 991 Turbo would have dropped 35-40% - so it's all relative. I suspect the battery thing is overblown, relatively few EV's or Hybrid car batteries need replacement at 8 years.
I never expected to be in a position to own a 830HP hypercar - that was almost exclusively the preserve of a Veyron 10 years ago, less still one with free servicing and for the current price of a couple of Volvo or BMW SUV's..
personally also think the hybrid worries are overblown and at some point it might switch into the other direction. A hybrid gives you the option to still live in the city centre once they don't allow non-hybrid/electrical cars to drive into the centre anymore while still having a proper engine [I hope they will at least exclude oldtimers from that rule] . There are so many potentially very expensive repair bills on these cars, that adding one more item is not the main worry in my view. If there were tons of stories on here about battery replacement on cars, so it becoming effectively a guranteed cost, then it would be different - but it does not sound like that is the case.
With a bit of luck there will be improved batteries at some point, which you can then put into the car for more performance/range.

good points actuallyWith a bit of luck there will be improved batteries at some point, which you can then put into the car for more performance/range.
If non hybrid or EV cars become banned from new sales from 2030 it’s likely to be at least 10-15 years before any existing cars are banned from city centres. The politics of such an income regressive move otherwise would be awful.
So future proofing a supercar purchase in 2025 seems a bit premature?

You need to talk to a dealer, from memory I had more like £80-85k to put in and mines is £500 a month on the 4.9% Apr offer they were doing last year.
Either check your numbers or I ve been done !The low rate finance isn t available anymore.

Yes that interior looks niceHow come there are no / hardly any used assetto fiorano coupes for sale (same seems to apply to the SF90 to a slightly lesser degree)
I would want that (preferably without the questionable Color scheme)

The AF pack cars got less positive reviews due to stiff suspension when the car was launched. I would want that (preferably without the questionable Color scheme)
