Official 308 GTB/GTS Market Thread

Yep......I remember about 7-10 years ago and saying I need to strike as $25k was the entry price for a decent 308. Oh well, but the wife is still around and the kids are grown.
I think 308 Milano is correct....keep money in hand and eyeballs on the ads.

 

'77 USA GTB in Blu Dino sold recently in BaT for $90K ($94.5K all in). Very nice car but no showpiece for sure...

 

This is the appropriate place to discuss prices so, in regards to the ‘79 GTS posted recently in F/S, with an ask of $80K OBRO is (IMHO) pure insanity.

To get that car right is a good chunk of cash for a sitting car. And trust me...cars that sit eat cash

To be a $50-55K car you’d need to buy this for $30-35K, then dive on in. Even if you’re going DIY, she’s going to need some parts.

-wp rebuild
-carb rebuild
-distributors
-belts, gaskets, seals, bearings
-tires
-go through breaks
-shocks sag? Awesome, there’s another $2K

You get the picture. It AINT 2014/15 anymore.

 

That confuses me as it states low miles
When questioned about how many, op has no clue, then realizes there are over 80k .
First, far from low. Second, the lack of knowledge seems pervasive including current market value.

Seems a little low... to put it mildly. Is the market really that low or was this a bad car?

Are there any 308s being auctioned in Monterey this weekend?

 

I have a mint 80' GTSI that I was hoping would be the next Dino, but it doesn't seem that way LOL.

Keeping it anyway

 

My '80 GTSi isn't mint, just a driver, but boy, am I ever glad I got it before the bubble, because prices are right back down there. You can be picky with these cars with only 45-50K in your pocket now, just like back in 2012.

If it were Rosso, would have been $70K

 

Really? It’s a B. That looks 10x better in Silver than Red anyway. Sometimes the right person isn’t in the room. Seems like that’s what happened. I would’ve thought $55-62.5 would’ve been “fair” price. ( so add the premium and almost at your $70K)

 

Totally agree...red is cliché and other colors look great on these cars...this was a well bought car assuming the quality was good.

 

Agreed very well bought. I’d love to own that for the all in. Lots of bang for the buck

 

Check out the engine bay pic (and interior) and the pricing starts to make sense.
As noted above, the last 2 USA '77 GTBs on BAT did $90k. I do think that's top of market, but I also think $45k is very low for a nice car (which that silver car is not).

 

^^^^^^
Sigh of relief
Even though I'm not selling

 

Me too I paid $31,000 for it in 2008 but when you add in service over the years I probably break out even. Grundy has it insured for $69,000 though

 

Hi all,

Recent BaT sales...

Sounded like a no sale at $60k but maybe misheard.

 

You are correct. The bid goes on.

308 biggest drop?

 

That comment about Maintanence costs is a load of crap.....

 

Grundy’s has mine insured for $69,000

very good to excellent condition 65,000 mi

 

Having a statistically significant amount of data to draw observations from is one thing. But packing it up in poorly-written articles (are these types of articles maybe pumped out by bots?) is a turn-off. I still contend my 308 is steel. And people still love classic Corvettes.
