Brand reliability: Consumer-survey composite — JD Power · WhatCar · Consumer Reports. Same score for every variant of a given make.
Resale strength: 100 − 3× annualised tangible-decay (COE-stripped). Fitted from each variant's asking-price-by-age regression then averaged at model level.
Peer set: Every same-segment model with ≥5 active PARF listings whose variants fit a depreciation curve. Practicality isn't plotted — it's a body-shape constant within the segment, so it would be the same for every dot.
Quadrants: The crosshair marks the segment median on each axis. Top-right (Safe Bets) is strong on both; top-left (Hidden Gems) holds value above what the brand reputation suggests; bottom-right (Bargain Buys) is well-built but depreciates fast — buy cheap; bottom-left (High Risk) is soft on both.

What's good

Manual F430 with full Ferrari / specialist service history — manual is the cult-collector pick + sidesteps the F1 transmission concerns entirely. Combined with documented service, the most-prized + most-durable F430 spec.
F1 trim with documented clutch service receipts (Ferrari-trained shop) — F1 clutch wear is the scheduled-maintenance high-cost item. Receipts mean the next clutch is years out.

What to watch

An F1 gearbox with clutch wear or hesitation — F1 clutch replacement S$8-15k locally. Without paperwork the cost is on the horizon; walk unless asking is salvage-grade.
Patchy Ferrari service history at high mileage — Ferrari service is specialist-grade (annual + every-other-year major). Without paperwork the running-cost band is enormous.
