How to Buy This Car
Our recommendation on the best way to finance your purchase.
Ferraris are one of the few cars that genuinely appreciate. Buying outright means you own an asset that will likely be worth more in ten years — especially limited variants.
Advantages
- Ferraris appreciate over time
- No interest costs
- Freedom to sell at peak value
Watch Out For
- Enormous upfront cost
- Running costs are significant
This is our independent opinion based on the car's depreciation profile, reliability record, and typical finance rates. Always get personalised financial advice before committing.
Used Buying Guide
Buying a Used Ferrari Roma
What to look for — and what to avoid — when buying this car on the used market.
What to look for
- Roma values have held exceptionally well — early cars are already appreciating
- Spider variants command a significant premium over the coupe — both are strong investments
- Low-mileage, single-owner examples with Ferrari Approved certification are the safest buy
- Rosso Corsa (red) and Grigio Titanio (grey) are the most desirable colours for resale
- Ferrari Approved warranty provides peace of mind on a complex, expensive car
Watch-outs
- Service costs are significant — budget £3,000–£5,000 per major service
- Check for any accident history meticulously — even minor repairs affect value significantly
- Avoid cars with heavy personalisation — unusual colours or specs are harder to resell
- Verify all software is up to date — early cars had some infotainment quirks
- Insurance costs are substantial — get quotes before committing to purchase
Our Verdict
The Roma Spider is Ferrari's most elegant car in decades. The 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 produces 620bhp, the eight-speed DCT is flawless, and the folding hardtop adds drama without compromising the roofline. This is a grand tourer that happens to be a Ferrari.
