The OFFICIAL cheap 3x8 for sale thread!

In today's market, this is probably a low $20ks car. The mileage is the killer for so many prospective buyers unfortunately.

 

The milage doesn't bother me but the 2nd gear comment does. I hated skipping 2nd so much that I ended up completly rebuilding the transmission on my '79 (it really only needed syncros but I wasn't going to put back old bearings; ZF does not give their parts away). I will likely never recoupe that expense, but anyone who is buying any car as an investment should rethink that strategy carefully. I bought mine to drive it and hopefully not loose a ton of money on it. You could spend up to $8k making the transmission right on this GTS. Regardless, it looks like a good deal for the money. You will likely have unexpected expenses on a seemingly perfect car. This one should make a very nice driver for someone.

 

Most likely my stocker high miler ... +100k miles 1982 GTSi ... new paint and interior ... new CATS and just passed smog. I checked the compression on her when I first picked her up and have it written down. Looks like she had new belts and tensioners before I bought her but she sat since 2000 with PO so probably needs 'em.

$17k????


I'd unload my hot rod 308 but I imagine it's worth less than the stocker LOL.


Help fund my TR .

Cheers,

Im going to look at this car today or tomorrow and hopefully purchase it.

 

Go get 'em. Good luck.

Show up in full camo' and just happen to have a few store "samples" on the front seat...and you'll be under $20K in a heartbeat.

 

Another Craigslist Find:

1978 Ferrari Dino 308 GT4 2 Door Coupe 57K Miles (san jose south) ($18,000)

I've seen at least three GT4s on Craigslist lately for under $20,000. Sure, they are all probably crapboxes needing a lot of money thrown at them, but why can't at least one of them be near me?!

Mondial 8, 348 wheels, $16K

 

Post some pics of it!

 

whats going on? you purchased it?

 

Bumping the thread.

 

Hey its got antilock brakes too! Bet that aint a "cheap 308" in the end. Is there such a thing?

 

That's an early steel car, there........maybe worth a look...

Missing some bits like A/C controls and dash lights, but at least the speedo failed at a nice low mileage!

 

She just means the brakes are not "locked up".....they do that after sitting around awhile, don't ASK me how I know!!!!

 

love the blue gt4. seems its been for sale for some time? i need the blue trans am to find a new home before i buy yet another car.

 

Yeah, I can't believe that the blue GT4 has been for sale for so long. I would have thought that it would have been snatched up quickly, considering the recent servicing, price, and recent increase in GT4 interests.

 

Nope! Never seen one!
Priced any engine parts or gearbox internals lately?

 

Maybe there is a good reason that it hasnt been snapped up. Has anyone gone to take a look at that car?

I wouldn't necessarily say that the car is cheap. The reserve price has not been met. From just looking at the pictures it does look like it should warrant a cheap purchase price, but the owner could have a very different idea on their mind.

 

Remember If you cant afford a Nice Ferrari... Then you certainly cant afford a cheap one... Case in point. The car I inspected a few years back...
