What is my 308 worth?

Well I have sold a bunch of cars on ebay as of late, and so far EVERY buyer that has won the auction has flaked. You cant leave negative feedback and cant get a refund unless the buyer agrees to "cancel the transaction" Fortunately for me I had so many emails about the cars they sold anyway.

You have a beautiful car, and I hope it goes for good money and you get paid..

 

I noticed it on Ebay - unique paint scheme - really good looking car. Why offer a buy it now if you don't need to would be my take...if someone wants it really badly, they will stay in and spend more than they want to...

What's it worth? Who knows - 29k currently. ; ) If you had asked me a day ago, I would have said "around 30k".

I paid mid 30's for my carb car a couple years ago which was probably of somewhat similar condition - maybe worse; not as "original". But the entire collector car market is up ~20-30% and I think 308s are trending even better. So regarding buy it now...at 29k currently, I would not make it less than 40k, and with so much interest, why not make it 45k?

Good luck!

 

28-32K that is the realistic range been tracking for 3 years

 

200 watchers?! Or 200 views?

 

There are frequently a rush of bids…then it stagnates for a while and then some final bid(s) in the last few seconds by "new" bidders using automatic programs like ESnipe.

So basically there is no telling how high (or not) it will go. I wouldn't bother with a BIN, I have never seen any benefit from it as a seller though I do tend to like it as a buyer sometimes.

As noted, be very careful - I have been buying/selling on ebay since it started and it has changed considerably whereby as a seller, you have virtually no rights while the buyer can get away with the most absurd claims - to the point of getting your item for free with YOU refunding HIM for the full price because he claimed he never received the item. Yes, that's happened to me to the tune of $600 USD. Though with a car that would be almost impossible since registering it would prove he actually has it.

 

Wow! Didnt realize there were that many people looking for these cars.

Put it for sale in the classifieds section here. You will have a better idea who you are dealing with and it will prob sell.

 

What's that noise you can hear clearly before you turn her over & you continue to hear until you leave the cabin? I'm thinking heater fans. If so, I'd advise switching them off & putting up another video for your listing.

Interesting that your car is a month or two later than mine but has the stacked centre dials.

 

Thanks - If I ever had it, this "safety feature" must have been disconnected a long time ago. I can't imagine being able to do much on the car with that ringing in your ears

 

I put the sweet spot for an average car with 50-60K miles and in good condition to run around $30K. Some will get more and some will get less. Anything in the $40K+ range would have to be a good as new restoration. For a 2V I maybe $25-$30K and a QV maybe $30-$35. If you are willing to wait you'll get your price but if you want to move on $30K sell it pretty quickly.

 

qv's for 30-35k? wrong!!

I guess by average you mean a clean driver that has been serviced w/ major?

 

You can always close the door

 

Thank you, for your expert advice.
I will now go look for that 308 with the "good as new restoration" in the $40k+ range.

 

Nice looking car!

 

Look for two since your at it, I want one as well.

 

Gee, look for three. Do they pay a little extra for rust in NY?

 

I tend to agree with Steve.

Are you seeing QV's moving for the low 40's with regularity?

 

"The gauges are often inaccurate (like oil pressure, oil levels etc). You could say it's all the charm of owning a 3-decade old Italian car!"




This comment would give me pause if I were a buyer.

How do you know it is bad gauges showing low oil psi. etc. ?

That is either a cheap thing to fix with a call to Rutlands for a good used set, or a car that is shot and has been trying to tell you... through the gauges.

 

low oil psi reading isn't something to casually ignore, though
