For Sale 1985 Ferrari 308 Quattro Valvole - White on Red

And here's another nice 308 that I can't believe is still waiting for a new owner. I'm kind of thinking that in a few years there will be people remembering when they could have picked up a 308 for around 80K.

When I bought my 308, the owner also had a lovely little yellow Dino in his garage. It was a real beauty, and I remember at the time thinking that if it ever came up for sale, I'd like to buy it. A few years later, I saw it advertised in FML. I thought the 80K he was asking was a little steep for a Dino, so I passed...

 

Scottsdale, as in Barrett-Jackson? I'd be surprised if the car sold for over $57K at their auctions.

(That's an observation on BJ, not the car.)

 

Agreed.

Barrett is more friend to the muscle cars etc.

 

I’m interested in the car. Need more info. Call me. 727-687-1239. Lars

 

Any chance you wanna make room by selling the white/red TR?

Might be late for the Barrett Jackson comment, but I don’t think Ferrari’s do well in those type of “public” auctions. They asked if I wanted to sell my 308 QV at BJ Mohegan Sun in Connecticut last year, and I said no way.

First, as a registered buyer, you don’t get much access to the cars and their maintenance history. This is much less of an issue with a Corvette (where parts are cheap even for an expensive “collector” Vette). But buying a sub-$100k Ferrari at a public auction could cost you a ton of cash fixing who-knows-what type of issues. That’s why Ferrari’s and other exotics don’t get bid too high...buyers are simply too cautious given the risk.

I think Ferraris fetch far more cash at “private” style auctions (the high-end auctions that allow plenty of buyer interaction with the cars).

Spot on. Unless the exotic is a super-rare and with well-know history, most “modern” Ferrari’s do not do well. Now, if your mechanically adept and don’t mind a potential project, the auction could be the perfect place to snag a bargain.

 

I would advise to hold on and wait to May 2019,,
a lot of $ has come out of the market,
,true some has gone back in.
But remember,,
the crash of 1987 kicked off a huge bull market in vintage Ferrari.
Fair Value is $100k IMHO
