§ V.02What moves a car within the band
Within that band, coupe cars are the most frequently traded body style in this set (83 of 201 sales), and automatic cars account for 98 of them. Condition, originality and documented history move a car further than any single specification, which is why the middle half of the range is wide.
The spread by variant, printed in full above, is usually wider than the spread by year: a convertible at $311,500 and a coupe at $263,000 are not the same market, and a single median that mixes them describes neither.

§ V.06Questions
What is a 2016–2020 Ferrari 488 worth?
A 2016–2020 Ferrari 488 sold for a median of $284,000 across 201 completed auctions from June 2017 to October 2026 (BidBetter, as of 3 November 2026).
The middle half of those 201 sales fell between $235,000 and $475,000 (the typical range), and the full range after cleaning was $15,500 to $1,801,000.
What affects the price of a 2016–2020 Ferrari 488?
Model year: by year, medians run from $235,000 for 2016 (35 sales) to $602,000 for 2020 (38 sales).
Body style: a convertible holds a median of $311,500 on 76 sales, against $263,000 on 83 for a coupe.
Condition, originality and documented history move a car further than any single specification, which is why the middle half of sales spans $235,000 to $475,000.
Is the Ferrari 488 2016-2020 going up or down in value?
Up. The 59 sales in the 12 months to 3 November 2026 had a median of $367,000, against $251,750 on 32 sales in the 12 months before, a rise of 45.8%. That compares whichever cars came to auction in each year, not the same cars sold twice, so read it as the direction of the market rather than a rate of appreciation.
How many Ferrari 488 sales is that based on?
201 completed auction sales, from June 2017 to 30 October 2026. The table above lists the 15 most recent, each linked to its auction record. The figures were last rebuilt on 3 November 2026.
What is the difference between the typical range and the full range?
The typical range is $235,000 to $475,000: half of all 201 sales fell inside it. The full range is $15,500 to $1,801,000, the cheapest and dearest sale that survived cleaning. The full range is set by outliers, so it is a boundary rather than a guide to what most cars bring.
Which body style holds its value best?
On this set, coupe is the most frequently sold at 83 sales with a median of $263,000. The highest median among body styles is convertible at $311,500, though it rests on fewer sales. Each variant's median and count are in the table above.
Do manual or automatic cars sell for more?
In this set, automatic cars account for 98 of 201 sales. Too few cars of the other transmission type sold to publish a comparison, so this page does not make one.
Does mileage change the value?
Mileage is recorded for part of this set, not all of it, so it is not used to adjust the median. It is shown in the sales table wherever the auction record carries it, and you can see the effect directly by comparing rows.
How current is this figure?
Data as of . The figures are rebuilt from completed sales on a schedule, and the date above is the date of the last rebuild, not the date this page was loaded.
§ V.07Method and sources
What these figures are. Every number on this page is computed from completed auction sales of Ferrari 488 cars built between 2016 and 2020. The median is the 50th percentile of the sale prices; the typical range is the 25th to 75th percentile; the full range is the lowest and highest sale that survived cleaning. Percentiles are linearly interpolated on the sorted prices.
What is excluded. Asking prices, reserve-not-met results, withdrawn lots and unsold cars are not prices and are not counted. Parts, memorabilia, literature, scale models and other non-vehicle lots are excluded. Sales not made in US dollars are excluded, so these figures describe the dollar market. Duplicate records are removed. Sales below a plausibility floor (5% of the median) and above a ceiling (10× the median) are set aside, because a $22 "911" is a data error rather than a cheap car.
What it is not. This is not an appraisal or an inspection, and it does not predict what any particular car will bring. Two cars built the same year can differ by more than the whole typical range on condition, originality, documentation and provenance.
The set. 201 sales from June 2017 to 30 October 2026, drawn from 10 auction sources, principally Bring a Trailer (146), RM Sotheby's (14), Sothebysmotorsport (9), PCARMARKET (7), Barrett-Jackson (6), Collecting Cars (6), Broad Arrow (5), Cars & Bids (4), Gooding (3), Bonhams (1). Data as of .
