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.
