Jeff, One of the Ferrari mechanics in Nothern Florida has 125k and over 100k on two different 308/328. These cars are to be driven :-) The 1985 308GTS QV here is still a young 57k miles. The next 50k should be a blast :-) Enjoy the Drive, Steven R. Rochlin | ||

I am really happy to read this post. I just puchased my 1986 328GTS from a very nice guy who really drove his car a lot, but took care of the mechanicals, everything works. It had a lot of chips in the paint and the (black) seats are in good condition but a little faded. The car has 80K miles, but I got it for much less then $30,000 as he needed the garage room for an another car. I think if it had looked better it could have gone as high as 38-40, but the high milage is a big turnoff to most buyers I guess. I hope to slowly work out the cosmetic issues and maybe rebuilt and engine down the road if it needs it. But I thik I have years of Ferrari motoring ahead if I want it. | ||

Sweet!! Nice to see Ferraris used as they were intended. That's how I'll use mine when I get one  | ||

Nice! I just turned 47,000 on mine. I guess I have plenty of miles left. | ||

Mileage will depend on abuse(lack of maitenance) and how hard the engine was pushed. A ferrari motor should easily go 100k before any rebuilds are needed - according to a very competent engine builder here on Long Island. | ||

Not that this is worth anything, but when we rented a 348 spider on our honeymoon in Hawaii, they had 2 348s there- the car we rented had 36k on it, but the other was more interesting- it had in the 90K range! This is an interesting topic, as I was wondering how many miles a Ferrari (although my interest is in the 355) can go before requiring major motor work... | ||

I had over 100K on my 1979 308 when I sold it. Never had any problems with it, just the usual stuff. 308 and 328's are great cars. I can't say I had the same experience with my TR. | ||

Since we see alot of times people wondering how many miles you can get out of a Ferrari how's this; I recently talked to a Ferrari guru mechanic who own's 4 Ferrari's, one a 328 that just turned 200,000 miles and runs and drives perfect, the engine and transmission have never been opened. Hows that for Ferrari quality. |
