Official 308 GT4 Market Thread

Sorry to continue the thread hijack.
Pat,
Keep us posted on the results. And what plugs you were using previously.

Looks like Electromotive ignition (no distributor).

 

Yep. Definitely looks like a 1985 308gt4 model to me...

 

Not a 1995 Model ? I could bet, that's it ! ;-)

 

2015
The new management is serious about going downmarket.

 

I think you'll need more than that to get this one. Know this car well both before and after the restoration. You won't find a better GT4.

 

I hope it sells for 100+ that would just make the rest of ours that much better.

 

If you mean that a more valuable car justifies a higher level of expense on improvements and maintenance I agree.

 

There is only one for sale on ebay, very few anywhere, LOL! They are such a cool car for all the reasons mentioned before. The history, and who had the input on the making of the car is really incredible compared to many other Ferrari conceived after. Its more than a collector car, its also a drivers car, a hands on enthusiast car, very unique in design, first of the V8 lineage, I mean really as true Tifosi, can it really get any better? Sure the newer models are amazing but of course they are Ferrari after all. But the GT4 is in a league of its own. Finally people are starting to get it!!!!!... Yea buddy!!!!

 

I'll be looking for one to buy at the 60 Years Celebration on Sunday in Beverly Hills. Out of 1000 Ferraris planned on being present, I wonder how many will be of the GT4 variety.

 

Wow, suddenly the prices are jumping. All the "cheap" Euro cars are gone from the European sites, and the 308 Gt4 at ebay is at 45000 at the moment. For a seller this is fantastic, but for a driver......

 

It's worth it when you're driving a well sorted car that actually performs as it was intended. Turn the key and drive. Nothing is worse than having a Ferrari that drives like a dog.

It's over $50K now

 

Amen brother.
I paid solid money for a strong car, put more into it to make it right mechanically without worrying about market value. A year later the market's caught up and I could get all my money back and then some.
But if I sold what could I get that would be better?

Guess I'm stuck with her.

 

Bidding ended at $50,100, with Reserve NOT Met! 1979 Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 Restored | eBay

 

Now it is time for the real negotiations to begin. Ebay is a great way to advertise a car to the broadest possible market.

 

eBay the last few years has become a great tool for advertising cars now.

The old days of being fleabay are diminishing, it has really grown into its own.

You are right, the real negotiations will now begin.

 

You're right. I would hope someone willing to drop that kind of cash on a car would spend a few hundred more to actually go out and see it in person.

 

I was close with my 50K assessment even though the reserve wasn't met.

 

It's baaaack... for $69K BIN. It is a beautiful example, and the restoration is well documented at http://goo.gl/ZW90dT.

Oh, and pictures of my new baby coming soon (1975 S/N 10568)

 

Here's one in Vancouver, BC. With the falling Canadian dollar, this would be about US $24K. 1980 Ferrari Dino GT4 2+2!!! RED! VINTAGE I don't know the car or the owner. Maybe "Peter" on this board knows of it. Jon

 

Just to revive this a bit and continue the discussion on the eBay GT4...

It may well be the nicest GT4 ever as Jay alluded to above. However, at the moment, it's price is MUCH higher than any other GT4 which makes it hard for buyers to justify spending the money.
The aggregate US GT4 market isn't supporting prices that high so the potential buyer may take a big hit with depreciation if for some reason they need to sell the car sooner rather than later.

 

It is a beautiful car. If it was a Series 1 Euro (1974-1975) car in this restored condition it would sell for double the lbuy it now price. The series 1 Euro cars in Europe are what everyone wants and are willing to pay up for them, very desireable. The Series 2 Euro cars like this are still desirable but not as much currently. This one sold for 90,000 EUR or $125.5K in March 2013 at Essen Motor Show.

You make a good point. I am hoping that I am able to buy one before they are priced out of my range. The 246 was always just out of my range and then it leaped to impossible.
