458 values now that the 488GTB is here - only way is down!?

[AMDB9]

Judging by the number of 458's I have seen in London alone and then Instagram etc with the arrival of the new beast what is the consensus on 458 values? There are just too many cars around to sustain their values IMHO - thoughts?

Oh joy, yet another thread discussing values and depreciation

Why even bother coming in and commenting if it bugs you so much

458 driver?

My main concern is that there are so many 458's registered (way more than F430's were as compared to 458's) they will surely feel the hit once buyers begin to upgrade to the newer car.

You've got your numbers wrong. There were a lot more 430s sold in the UK than the 458.

430 was launched in 2005 and finished in 2009. The economy was a tad different then!

I may be wrong and shall let a pro like Voicey answer that one but one can certainly see way more 458's than I ever saw F430's

What do the DVLA number say?

I'd have to kill you if I told you ;-)

With some clumsy Googling I found 1400 x F430 & 1200 x F458

Ok thanks for that! So if we compare the time period of production it proves there are way more 458s!!!

[AMDB9]

There are currently 96 458s on Auto Trader - way more than any other model in the range

I know I am going to get shot down for this, but what the hell. Am I the only one who thinks these cars would be more fun with much less power? My F430 is far too fast to be able to give it a good thrashing on the road, and on a circuit doesn't compare to my Caterham. I think it would actually be more fun with a 2.5 litre V8 with c. 280 BHP that you could give a good blatting on the road.

Im guessing you are 75+ and retired with failing vision?

Time to revisit me thinks - been following the prices keenly and have noticed that the cheapest F approved used 458's a few months ago were £150k and now they can be had under £140k - is this the winter or 488 effect?
