It will be interesting to watch, the residuals on GranTurismos have actually been very strong. Ferrari residuals are not great. If you had paid £240k for a 488 which retails at £165/70k at three years old and take in the typical Ferrari £25k used car margin and you have dropped £95/100k in three years. The retained value is 58/60% which sounds ok but it's the cash cost that hurts as they have aggressively moved prices up over the last two decades - a 355 started at under £100k. Food for thought............
PS This is what Maser is up against - pre reg 570 McLaren for £120k:

Does anyone take this car as an investment seriously anymore?
I think we all know there Are very few That hold their value - let alone gain.
It has to be unique, incredibly expensive to start with and it certainly doesn’t have “Maserati” in front of it.
Fortunately, where I think “Maserati” (we) are lucky, is that they have reached out and touched a select few who understand the “magic” that owning one brings. The uniqueness.
99% of buyers don’t buy one as an investment. They buy because, firstly- they’re petrol heads, secondly- we’re different, thirdly- if you’re like me, you never ever thought you’d be able to afford one!
Fourth- once you drive one of the old 4.7’s it totally changes your perception of what’s important in a car.
And you never get over the experience.
