How to Choose
- The Mondial is cheapest to buy but not cheapest to own. It's a genuine Ferrari, but maintenance costs match its stablemates.
- The 348 is a divisive car but has bottomed out in depreciation. Clean examples are quietly appreciating.
- The 360 Modena is the most common first Ferrari for a reason: reliable, beautiful, and widely supported by specialists.
- Manual gearboxes command 40-80% premiums across these models in our data. Budget accordingly or embrace F1/paddle-shift.
- Pre-purchase inspections are non-negotiable. Budget $1,500-$2,500 for a marque specialist.
