    The buy-it-now price is even more insane. $73k for a 328? LMAO.

    Not sure. It's not cheap, but if you want a <10K mile 328 there aren't many available, and lately more people seem to want these than the unit-body cars that came later. I'm not selling mine, but I've had inquiries on it. I don't think this one is a steal, by any means, but if you're planning to buy and keep the car this would be one to consider.

    My only quibbles are that it's a late model (convex wheels), and red isn't my top choice for 308/328s. But I'm in the minority there.

    I agree the detail job seems overpriced, IMO. I paid several hundred dollars over at Symbolic last month and my car finished at the platinum level at Concorso. I think at some point there are diminishing returns to what you spend on detailing.

    Seems more like a retail dealer price than what an individual could get. I would think the car would sell in the 6o to 65 range but what do I know. I’m still shopping for my 89 328GTS.

    Believe it or not I know someone who has a 89 328GTS with under a hundred miles on it. He’s not selling, I already asked.

    The car seems to be priced right for the low mileage. Based on the pictures the car looks clean. As always have the car checked by a Ferrari Tech. before purchasing. I'm sure he'll sell it to the right buyer.

    Well, at least you're honest about it. Too many "market experts" seem to be "still shopping" while the rest of us are out driving.

    If I WERE trying to admonish someone for their grammar I would at least ensure that mine was correct. I could also mention punctuation and capitalization, but I won't.

    According to Freud id is the irrational or emotional part of the mind.
    Perhaps the poster is referring to that part of the mind that makes us buy Ferraris :D

    Actually, if you look at prices for low mileage '89 cars, this price is not out of line - although it is a more like dealer retail. However, as far as the asking price on a car like this, it seems right. You wouldn't be crazy to spend $73k on a car like that.

    Some people didn't have the privilege to get the correct education or English may be their 2nd language. No reason to try to put someone down over it.
