Want to know about the 308, see the Ferrari faq
There are many reasons to buy a pre-owned Ferrari 308. One is the significant
value they represent in
the current market. The 308 series remains a very
modern looking and modern
feeling sports car, offering performance in
line with current high performance
vehicles. It may strike a potential
buyer that a Ferrari should
be faster than other cars, but such a buyer
must keep in mind that the
newest 308s are now over ten years old. When
new, they were faster and
quicker than their contemporaries. That they
continue to hold their own
with ease amongst current cars is a testament
to their level of design
and quality of build. Unlike most of their contemporaries,
they remain a desirable
landmark of automotive design to be enjoyed by
their owner
All variants of the 308 are desirable in their own way. The original
308GTB and GTS offer the
charm of the designers' unadulterated vision.
If a rare fiberglass GTB
can be found, it offer reasonable assurance of
being rust free and the
best performing carburetor model. This helps offset
their age, which is now
in excess of 20 years. The steel bodied 308s will
be more readily available
than the fiberglass models, and are likely to
be less expensive. Thanks
to their carburetors they offer the enthusiast
a car which can easily be
tuned for a little extra performance. This also
makes the 308 something
of a link to the golden age of sports cars, for
which many enthusiasts yearn.
The 308i is sometimes ignored by shoppers
because of its reduced performance.
This is good for the canny buyer or
one less interested in straight
line speed than in cornering. The 308i
may represent the best value
amongst 308s precisely because some eschew
its lesser power output;
it is often available for a markedly lower price
than its stable mates. In
terms of performance it can corner as well as
the other 308s, if not better
because of its wide tires and further tuned
suspension. The lower power
output may also increase the longevity of
a 308i's engine, and for
touring purposes power is of secondary importance.
The fuel injection is smoother
and possibly a little more consistent than
the carburetors it replaced.
308i's also benefit from the fact that they
are relatively new by comparison
to 308's.
The 308qv is probably the most
desirable of the 308's,
but it is also amongst the most expensive due
to relative youth. With
the combination of fuel injection, four valve
heads and later production,
the 308qv probably offers the most to a first
time buyer lucky enough
to find one. Once the prospective buyer of a Ferrari
308 series car has decided
which model they want, it remains to decide
whether to purchase a GTB
or GTS model. Again, each has its advantages.
The GTB is more rigid thanks
to its fixed roof, but it is also rarer.
Only one in three 308s will
have the berlinetta body. Therefore a GTS
model will probably be easier
to find, and probably less expensive. The
GTS also offers the delightful
option of open air motoring.
