UK 296 GTB Values
Discussion
Picked mine up last week. 23 gts, good spec, blu America which is rather lovely, carbon everything pretty much including the seats which so far I’m liking; getting to grips with the touch controls pretty well, Apple CarPlay well integrated and bloody hell it’s quick. Probably too,quick really, but being able to drop the roof gives it the extra dimension, and the opening rear window is a fun touch.. battery all checked out, bargained hard and got a good discount, and the kers extended to 2030. Looking forward to doing some fun trips in it soon..

For those who are looking there seems to be pretty wide variability in pricing. Different dealers with similar spec cars varied considerably in their appetite for discounts, ability to add warranty etc. so make sure you apply a systematic process to searching, I’m usually the kind of buyer who falls in love with a specific car and has to have it, and I was careful not to do that and I think it saved me a chunk of change and got me a better car..

Discounts are irrelevant, its ultimately about age / condition / warranty / spec / price - if you are flexible about colours and less bothered about resale then you can pick up a main dealer warranted 296GTS for £215-£220k at the moment then you've probably done ok. Id wager it would return at least 80% of that back next year.So far in March the median asking price of a Ferrari Approved 296 GTB remains at £199k. The IQR has fallen from £198-209k in February to £195-209k in March. We now have four cars in the £180's (vs three in Feb). So although the median is flat sequentially, prices are bleeding at the lower end. As we enter spring, it does not seem like the better weather is lifting prices.

Although the Middle East clusterf
k will dampen spending.That is a lovely colour. Mine has been in the shop because of a bizarrely old school problem. A switch for the adaptive cruise was broken and the steering wheel had to go to Maranello. I know ACC is not obvious but I tend to treat the long trips to the good road as just transport when the stereo and all that stuff come into play before you stop, set it up, and then ignore all that stuff and concentrate on the real reason you bought it.
So next week I pick it up and I'm going maybe to the Spelga Dam or the Wild Atlantic Way or both and I'll stop when I get tired wherever that is.

Agree benno- the point on discount was more that there seems to be quite a wide disparity between dealers on list pricing, and the price they’re prepared to deal at. Some seem to discount a lot more aggressively than others (based on a pretty limited number of cars I looked at admittedly)Gassing Station | Ferrari V6 | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
