    Should I stop driving it? Should I change the oil, the belts, points, condensers, the spark plugs? What about the air in the tires, should that be changed too? Should I stop using the windshield washer?

    Oh, wait, it's a Ferrari, it will be just fine.....

    Mileage won't hurt a car: It's the lack of maintenance that will hurt a car. So drive it with any fear.
    But if you want to dump your old wreckage, I can pay it 10 k... :) :) :)

    Walking around in Monterey last month and peeking in on odometers, I found that the 308's there under 60-75,000 miles were in the minority.

    the market is full of 20 or 30 k (km and miles) cars. Yes, there are some that really have just 20 or 30 k km (13-18 k miles), but you don't need to read the Odometer to know they are low mileage cars: they look like new everywhere, also if you raise the car and inspect the suspension and the mechanic. I saw many cars for sale with "just 29 k km" on the ad and when I went to see the car in person I told the owner "I'm not sure if this car has 129 K km: I'm almost sure it has 229 k km..." .

    If a car has 50 k miles - 80 k km- (and the odo did not make a turn or rolled back) and was well cared, it's still a fantastic car. Seen with my eyes many times

    All the cars with lower miles are for sale at dealer lots apparently.

    A local guy has 230,000 miles on his 308. He said he had the heads done at 125,000, bottom end is original, I believe. So you have some miles to go if he is a guide. I have 63,000 on mine so it looks like I'm half way there!

    Quick! Park it and shut it off!!! Surely it's about to blow up!!!!

    Kidding! You just need to go out and do a couple of celebratory redline shifts... Enjoy! :D

    Cheers!
