The unthinkable

Gorgeous car, and a Euro too! Talk you out of it, ok...

Remember the wise adage "If it flies, floats, or f*cks, rent it" - well, an airplane flies, so it qualifies for the "rent it", but none of those 3 apply to your 308, so you should keep the 308 and rent your airplane time!

 

Well said Gordon...

Don't do it! I had the same feeling when I owned my GTB QV, wasn't getting used much. Thought I wanted an airplane or possibly save and step up to a 360 coupe in a year or so. Only five months after selling it I realized what a mistake I had made. Spent the next year looking for my current Euro QV. You will regret the decision.

 

Please more pics and details.Thanks

 

Say it ain't so. Don't do it.

Gunner, If you fly a lot, don't rent. There are a lot of benefits to owning, but a few financial risks as well. Planes can make Ferrari's look like a bargain! Find a plane that fits your mission. I own a Piper Archer.
I have an '85 Euro as well. If I didn't drive it to the airport, I would hardly drive it at all
Hope you can find a way to have both toys.

 

Oh, that old adage does not apply to a loving wife, does it?

 

If this is your first airplane owning experience, it is a lot less scary financially to get into a partnership with like-minded pilots. An annual inspection is so much more affordable divided three or four ways. And hangar rent and insurance....and reserve for engine rebuild...

If you do that, maybe you can keep your Ferrari?

Good luck with whatever you decide. Jeff

 

I knew I had a picture of my two children together.

I will to keep it very simple here. I have a number of friends in the classic car restoration / auction business. This includes my son who works for the largest auction group as their research and information manager. We speak about classic cars a lot. Right now, the market has flattened off a bit, but the really good cars are still fetching very good prices and I believe they will start to pick up again soon. Having said that, where will you find another 308 as well fettled as yours, should you want one again? They do not make them anymore, and in my eyes, it is one of the nicest designs Ferrari have had. They may be faster cars, but the reaction you get from young people, on the street, every time they see it, says "Keep It!".

 

If your car can't talk which she is you're just not hearing it but I can.
She is saying "please don't sell me, I don't want to leave you"
I agree with the above suggestion, don't break up the relationship.

 

As you post this in the 308/328 section, it's in your heart that you want to keep it as you know most of us will talk you out of it. Do yourself a favour and keep the white beauty then thank yourself later

 

Also remember that it's always easier to sell than to buy because as a seller you have full control of the price as if you were to buy, you don't have any control specially when you find the car of your dream.

 

Joe,

I've been in 4 different airplane partnerships over the years (PA-28, Mooney 201, J-3, and C182), so if you would like to get some input, and thoughts what should be in an airplane partnership agreement, just send a pm. I also presently have an airplane on my own (c-195), so I can tell you how that compares, as well.

I hope you can work it out to keep your Ferrari!

Good luck, Jeff

 

May be leaving a big basket of $$$$$ behind you in the next few years. Don't sell, you know you love the car, right?

 

What do you want more? That car or, maybe about $70,000 give or take?
