Ferrari 488 Finance
Specialist finance for every Ferrari 488, from the GTB and Spider to the track-focused Pista and Pista Spider. Hire purchase, lease purchase, PCP and bespoke structures, arranged by a team that knows the car and the market.
Maranello's Turbocharged Benchmark
Founded by Enzo Ferrari and still built in Maranello, Ferrari's road cars have always carried lessons learned on the race track. Launched in 2015 as the successor to the 458 Italia, the 488 GTB brought turbocharging back to Ferrari's mid-engined V8 line-up for the first time since the F40.
Its 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 produces 670 PS, enough for 0 to 62 mph in 3.0 seconds and a top speed of 205 mph, and it won the overall International Engine of the Year award four years running. The open-top Spider followed, then the 720 PS Pista and Pista Spider, the most extreme expressions of the car.
Succeeded by the F8 Tributo in 2019, the 488 now sits in a sweet spot for buyers: modern Ferrari performance at a more accessible entry point, with Pista models in particular holding strong collector appeal. Explore our wider Ferrari finance options.
488 GTB
Every 488, Financed
From the original GTB to the Pista Spider, we fund the full 488 line-up, coupé and Spider.
488 GTB
From 2015The coupé that started it all. 670 PS, a beautifully judged chassis and genuine everyday usability make it the most popular route into 488 ownership.
488 Spider
From 2015All the performance of the GTB with a retractable hard top that stows in seconds, for open-air V8 drama without compromise.
488 Pista
From 2018Developed using lessons from Ferrari's racing programme, the Pista is lighter, more powerful and sharper in every respect. A modern classic in the making.
488 Pista Spider
From 2018Pairs the Pista's 720 PS and track focus with the theatre of an open roof. One of the most desirable V8 Ferraris of the modern era.
Choosing the Right Structure
The right agreement on a 488 depends on the variant, its age, how long you plan to keep it and how you want to manage your monthly outlay. Here is how the main options compare.
| Feature | Hire Purchase | Lease Purchase | PCP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Balloon at end | None | Required | Optional GFV |
| Ownership at end | Automatic | If balloon paid | If GFV paid |
| Monthly payments | Higher | Lower | Medium |
| Mileage limits | None | None | Yes, charged per mile |
| Hand back option | No | No | Yes |
| End of term decision | None required | Settle or refinance | Keep, return or trade |
Keeping it for the long term
Hire purchase gives you full ownership at the end with no balloon to plan for. A natural fit for Pista owners who see the car as a long-term keeper.
Managing monthly outlay
Lease purchase defers part of the cost to a final balloon, lowering monthly payments on a high-value 488. At term end you settle, refinance or sell.
Already own a 488?
Equity release can unlock capital tied up in your car while you keep driving it, and re-financing can restructure an existing agreement or a looming balloon.

Speak to the Team
Tell us about the car and your situation. We will model the options and recommend the structure that genuinely fits.
Can I finance a used Ferrari 488?
Yes. We arrange finance on used 488s across the full range, from the GTB and Spider to the Pista and Pista Spider. Older examples are funded subject to the vehicle sitting within our lenders' age limits at the end of the term.
Which finance option is best for a 488?
It depends on how long you plan to keep the car. Hire purchase suits buyers who want to own the car outright with no balloon. Lease purchase lowers monthly payments by deferring part of the cost to a final balloon. PCP gives you the option to hand the car back. We model each option before any application so you can compare them side by side.
Is there a mileage limit on 488 finance?
Hire purchase and lease purchase agreements carry no mileage limits. PCP agreements include an agreed annual mileage, with a charge per mile if you exceed it and choose to hand the car back.
I am a director or self-employed. Can I still get 488 finance?
Yes. Our specialist lenders assess the full financial picture, including dividends, retained profit, assets and investment income, rather than applying a simple multiple to a salary figure. If you have been declined by a high-street lender or a manufacturer finance arm, speak to the team before drawing any conclusions.
How quickly can 488 finance be approved?
Because we structure the deal before submitting it to a single, carefully selected lender, credit decisions typically come back within hours. Paperwork and payout follow quickly once the decision is in.
Can I release equity from a 488 I already own?
Yes. Equity release lets you unlock capital tied up in your 488 while you keep driving it. If you have an existing agreement or a balloon payment approaching, we can also look at re-financing it onto better-suited terms.
What is the minimum and maximum I can borrow?
We arrange finance from £15,000 upwards with no published upper limit, so even the most valuable 488 is within scope. The right structure is agreed with you before any application is submitted.
Found Your 488?
Every client and every car is different. Tell us which 488 you have your eye on and we will find the most suitable funding structure, not the most convenient one.
Consumer Credit Act 1974
Regulated agreements are covered by the Consumer Credit Act 1974, which provides important protections and rights throughout the term.
- The agreement is secured against the vehicle. If repayments are not maintained, the lender may take steps to recover the outstanding amount, which can include repossession of the car.
- You can make lump sum payments at any point to reduce your outstanding balance and total interest cost.
- You can settle the agreement early by repaying the required amount, with a statutory rebate of interest applied.
- A lower deposit or a larger balloon increases the risk of negative equity if you settle early or change the vehicle before the end of the agreement.
