The Ferrari FF has depreciated more in the past 10 years than any other Ferrari, but is it a bargain?

From talking about Skylines to driving Ferarris on canyon roads with his boys. James has had a legendary come up.

I’ve always thought the FF was the shooting brake version of the F12, and the GTC4 was the shooting brake version of the 812. I love these.

I’ve always loved the hatchback shapes of the FF and the GTC4Lusso. I really think they nailed getting the hatchback shape to fit the Ferrari design language.

The Ferrari FF is definitely the most underrated Ferrari ever. It is cool! Who wouldnt want a shooting brake Ferrari?

Thanks for releasing this video guys, I've been shopping around for my next daily so this is perfect timing. I think I've narrowed it down to this or a 2012 civic ex

The most depreciated Ferrari yet its still 85 grand out of my budget

Man the FF and GTC Lusso is one of the few Ferraris that’s I genuinely like.

Replacing the transmissions makes the depreciation a lot more understanding 😂

I owned my FF for 2yrs and literally used it as my daily driver. I have two kids and it handled everything. I used to put power washers in the back and loaded it with groceries. I think the price is a reflection of 2 things… first the reliability of the PTU, which you noted. Thankfully there are now after market repair shops that can repair the PTU for about $10k which is significantly less than buying a new one. Second is the looks. You either love or hate the shooting brake design. Personally I loved it. With only 2300 made this is one of the best deals across the entire car market. I traded my FF in on an F12 but if you are looking for a practical Ferrari you just can’t go wrong with the FF. Loved every second of ownership.

The giggle from James and Nolan after every hard acceleration tells me everything I need to know about this Ferrari. 👍

I work at a ferrari dealership, and out of all the cars i have to move or test drive. This one is one of the easiest and most fun. Great vid!

“The hatchback Ferrari”

In all seriousness I’ve always loved the idea of the school run with my kids in this with them in the back

Ferrari FF Owner from Germany here who uses it a lot (bought it at 43000km / about 27000 miles) in 2018 and have used it extensively for 5 Years so far now with 108000km / 67000 miles on it.
I was worried first about the yearly Costs like Ferraris usually need a lot after certain km/miles but ended up convinced seeing how a lot of FF Owners here in Germany/Austria/Switzerland apparently often even have over 150000km on their FFs (almost miles) without any Reliability issues.
Yes it still costs a lot of Insurance etc. but so far i didn't have any major expensive Repairs, just the usual Oil Changes and Tire Replacements.
It's definitely the Ferrari to own if you want to drive your Ferrari a lot unlike most other Ferraris.

I used to drive one for a little while. These are great cars and I could say Ferrari designed their best GT ever with this one. Perfect for long road trips (if you like gas stations ofc ^^).
The only real problem was the front "gearbox" that works like a river of shit. Apart from this, I was surprised by how it's a relaxing car. Not like the Italia or others that scream "crush the pedal" at any time. This one gives you a nice feeling of just driving to have a break and forget about life.

Nice car. Expensive asf at the begnning and when the front gearbox gives you a middle finger, but it's a Ferrari so you know you put your feet in an expensive religion when you drive these red cars... But for what it is I felt really surprised about how good it was as an [almost] daily driver.

Love the FF, imagine going up to Tahoe over the holidays. V12 screaming and 3 people with you. Sublime Motoring

I remember reading the Motor Trend magazine in 2011 about the Ferrari FF while eating breakfast and waiting for my school bus to arrive. I was blown away looking at a photo of a Ferrari driving through the snow and I instantly fell in love with it. Sure it's a weird car but I have a soft spot for it.

[yoRightyy]

Hands down one of my favorite Ferrari's. Kinda prefer it over the new SUV that they insist isn't.

[gretchman]

If I'd have known they were gonna depreciate this much, I'd have started saving up like ten years ago.

Rumor is that this car was such a spectacular sales failure that when people applied to buy the higher end cars (no, you cannot just buy a new Ferrari, you must apply and be approved for the privilege). Ferrari required applicants to buy a FF along with the car they actually wanted to buy.

$80-90k is a bargain for these. Considering it's not much more than a used GTR with similar mileage and these are basically discount F12's. The main cause for the low entry cost seems to be the PTU (the front power transfer unit). There are now repair kits for under $10k, but going through the dealer for a PTU repair would cost ~$40k. However, some folks at the Ferrari Chat forums mentioned a shop that does a RWD conversion and deleting the PTU altogether, which is what I'd do if I have one of these.
