Is the Ferrari F430 a good investment?
Manual coupe (2005–2009)
The thesis
Only ~486 F430 manuals from 16,000+ production. Manual F430s command £130k–200k+ premiums over F1 cars (Euros) and UK prices have stabilised after 2023–24 correction at £220k–280k. Strong Ferrari liquidity, 4.3L NA V8 at 490 bhp, and the last mid-engine manual V8 Ferrari before the 458 went paddle-shift only. Still below peak 430 Scuderia values, suggesting room for catch-up.
