Depreciation Overview While the Ferrari 308’s iconic status keeps its headline value resilient, every luxury sports car follows a typical depreciation trajectory once it exits the showroom:

• First year: Typically loses 15‑20% of its value due to the steep drop in novelty and inventory surplus.
• Year 2‑3: An additional 8‑12% depreciation as the car ages and mileage climbs.
• Years 4‑7: Gradual decline of 5‑7% yearly, largely influenced by maintenance costs and the rarity of finely tuned engines.
• Beyond year 10: Value tends to plateau or slightly increase if the vehicle has exceptional provenance, low mileage, or has undergone original restoration.
