"Yet the testarossa, the 512tr and the 512M seem to be doing alright in the market." Jason, your statement above is accurate... if you're the buyer. | ||

50k is a bad price for an 88TR. Although once the market gets back where it used to be, hopefully these prices will improve. Jason BTW Maimi348ts I love your personal quote! Its awesome | ||

Andre, when selling you may consider selling outside your country as well. Put an add into the AutoMotorSport in Germany for example. If the car is priced right you will sell it in Europe in general. As for the 1990 348, make sure the serial number is already the one for the 2.7 Motronic ignition. There were some changes made in 1990 that you should have. Better reliability. In general you will be very happy with the 348. Jason, as far as the TRs doing good in the market...I don't think at all. They are such great cars, they should be doing much better than buying a 1988 TR for $ 50K. | ||

Thanks for your opinions guys. I think that if I can I will get the 348 (if it's in decent condition). I would like to show some pictures of my car. The quality isn't very good. Soon I'll take some new ones and will post them. My car:     | ||

I've had the 348 and recommend that you get it. the 328 is a great car, but the modern Ferrari is sooo much better, and the 348 is the first modern Ferrari. I vote for get the new one. Art | ||

It is also important to remember that cheese graters are also on the testarossa series. Yet the testarossa, the 512tr and the 512M seem to be doing alright in the market. Regards, Jason | ||

One benefit is that an early 348 costs less than a clean 328. But it's been posted on this board many times that 348s are problem-prone and much more expensive to repair/maintain, especially the early ones. Forza wrote this about the 328, "They are the most user friendly Ferraris built. They don't break and they don't have tons of costly electronics like the 348." And it's a personal taste issue as many people dislike the cheese graters on the 348. | ||

I had a 1986 328GTS and now have a 1994 348 Spider. There is no comparison. The 328 is an old car that drives and looks like one. The 348 looks better, sounds better, runs better and handles better. You do need to get as late of a model as you can find though because they made improvements over years. If you like the B model, get a 348 Speciale as they had all the updates. I love mine and would never go back to the 328 ! | ||

Andre, I went from a 87 328 GTS to a 94 348 TB. Even though the 348 had more power, I never warmed up to the way it drove or looked. So, I sold the 348 and bought a 89 328 GTB. I plan to keep it until I am dead. 328 GTB's are very rare in the US. Almost all were sold in Europe. Early 348's are known to have a lot of problems. I would try one out first. Welcome aboard.

It's a very difficult market for Ferraris. I think it depends on the general condition of the 348. But I really love my 328. It was my first Ferrari. A car that I dreamed since I was about 8 years old. I like your GTS as well Rob, or even more. I bought a GTB because it was the deal that came up at the time. | ||

I predict 308/328 GTB's will be increasing in value over the coming years. They're much rarer and they look better, although I do like taking the roof off in the GTS. | ||

welcome, hard to tell becuase we don't know the specific market. if the value to the two cars equals or less than the local value of the f-car then go for it. I would think you might be giving up a little to much | ||

Hi guys!! what a great site this is! Would love to live in America to meet some of you ferrari-fanatics! I'm a ferrari-fanatic too!! I have a black 328GTB from 1987 since I was 18 years old (thanks to my grand-father for entering university) and a 1995 e36 BMW 320iCoupe and I'm considering trading the two of them for a 1990 348tb. I haven't seen the car yet because the seller says it's going to arrive in September. What do you think about this deal? Here in Portugal Ferraris are a lot cheaper. I'm trying to sell my 328 for about 2 years for 35000-40000 euros and there are no buyers. it's a small country. Greetings |
