Is the Ferrari F430 a good investment?
Berlinetta 6-speed manual (2005–2009)
The thesis
The F430 manual is the last gated-shifter mid-engine V8 Ferrari before the 458's PDK-only era. Only ~20% of F430s left Maranello with the 6-speed; manuals now command £95–145k in Europe, a significant premium over F1 cars (£55–75k). Market has firmed post-2023 correction. With 458 Speciales nearing £1m, F430 manuals are well positioned but already mid-run. Best examples with low miles and full history will continue to climb steadily.
