Depreciation – What to Expect Over Time

The Ferrari 456 depreciation curve mirrors the broader luxury‑supercar market. Typically, a Ferrari can lose 15‑20% of its value during the first year of ownership, especially when newly purchased. Over five years, you can expect a total depreciation of roughly 35‑40%, while after ten years the cumulative depreciation usually hovers around 50‑55%. These figures are averages; the actual decline depends heavily on mileage, maintenance history, and market demand at any given time.

When asking what is a 2003 Ferrari 456 worth, collectors should take into account that newer models (such as the 456 GT or the more recent 458) have slight premium pricing differences, giving the 2003 entry a unique, nostalgic value. For those evaluating a used car, the general rule of thumb holds: a well‑maintained 2003 Ferrari 456 in a pristine condition may hold closer to 60‑70 % of its original launch price than one that has seen heavy traffic or improper maintenance.

Comparative Context – How the 2003 456 Stacks Up

• Compared to the Ferrari 456 GT – The GT, a more recent iteration centered around the 2013 model year, offers similar V12 output but with updated technology and a slightly higher entry price. However, the older 456’s raw, classic feel is a major selling point for purists.
• Compared to the Ferrari 456 GTC – The GTC shares the same platform but features an Alpine‑style roof. The sportiness is on par, but the 456’s hatchback design tends to appeal more to grand‑touring enthusiasts.
