The 488 Replacement

[oo7ml]

Hi,

Now that Ferrari have stopped production of the 488, and are unveiling it’s replacement in March, what knock on affect with that have to the 488 prices?

Would I be right in saying that the 488 prices will lower? For those of you who have experience with new models coming out, what % reduction is usually experienced in the market with the release of a new model?

It might actually increase the price of the 458 because it will again highlight that they are the last NA in their range, as the new 488 replacement will also be turbo charged.

I was offered spot on new car delivery late 2019/ early 2020 and still not long waiting lists at present. DP had just returned from factory and said new car was going to have a 2 litre engine and hybrid tech totalling up to 800 BHP. Going to be interesting to see what it sounds like.... price also going up a chunk supposedly. Bought a 488 spider for now, which I got a mega deal on. Not really going to be any more new mid engined spiders for a couple of years do hopefully this will hold up ok.... if not then i’ll enjoy it anyway.

Sorry, are you saying the 488 replacement will have a 2.0l engine, or do you mean in years to come?

I s the 488 really ceasing production, I cannot believe it, its only been out a year or two, I reckon the way the current cars, and in particular Porsche keep updating current models the value of the original early ones will hold well.

Yes, they have 100% stopped production. I tried to order one at 2 different Ferrari dealerships. A few others have also said the same on a particular Ferrari forum.
