    I was originally looking for a 328 or 355 when I found my 348 on here. Very happy still with the 348 but still want to add a 308 or 328 to the stable. My budget will be in the 40-50K range and I am located in Georgia, I have references here or in the Porsche world as a buyer or seller. I have items to barter if there is interest outside of a straight sale, I have a 2 owner E30 M3 I really have not drove at all in the time I have owned it I could offer as partial trade or straight trade depending on the car, I also have some real estate holdings I own that could come into play if you wanted to add raw land to your portfolio.

    I am in Georgia but travel extensively through the country so any cars available in my budget would be in play.

    Still looking, I may have to move the budget around, just was informed an auxiliary garage was going to have to be built to add another Ferrari to the stable so was trying to get it all for a certain number.

    How do you get in and out of your cars all sardined in there like that? I think you need to get a GTS into the mix, so you can do it Magnum style!

    LOL. It is the best use of space, not the best at getting to enjoy them for sure. I have to stay fit or I can't get between them. The M3 has to come out first, then the rest come out behind it. I am about a detached garage so I can use them a little easier. The 911 can be fished out without moving the other two but it is an ordeal to get any of them out honestly.

    Spoke to Mike at F40, he stated that car had no records and paint was cracked, advised I try to find a different one, appreciate the honesty I suppose.
    Maybe my timing is off and people are holding off selling due to the current market conditions. Notice the BAT parade is not hitting reserve right now as well.
    Still looking and will be patient.

    Thanks for letting us know wondered why that car hasn't sold. Sounds like it is too original.

    You bet. I have some travel into upstate NY set up so I may swing over to Portland and look at it in person.

    Still looking. Can't edit my original post but budget is up to 65K.

    Barada- what color of green is your Porsche?
    I own a 2015 911 C4S painted a special Porsche color of 'Viper Green'.
    Part of Porsche's PTS or 'paint to sample' program (less than 1.50% of Porsches are PTS cars).
    Anyway, it looks much like your color.

    BTW, the white/red '83 just above is sweet as hell!

    The price on my 308 is $65K. The list of new parts starts with a battery, rebuilt brake calipers, new interior with Ferrari leather, new timing belts and fuel pump, new tires including spare, original Ferrari wheels and many other new parts.

    OP, I’ve been watching a nero/crema 328 they have listed for 64k at ***************** in ATL. Higher mileage (60k) but maybe worth having a look if it’s not too far of a drive from wherever you are in GA. Would think that price would be negotiable as I know of almost that exact car that recently sold for 63k but with 20k fewer miles.

    They also have a bunch of 308s but at higher price points...

    Thanks, when I was looking for a 348, Merlin did not exactly make me feel all that welcome when I looked at the two they had at the time. Appreciate the lead.

    Am curious about this Merlin car. Looks priced aggressively, what’s the catch?

    To give Merlin credit, they do their own comprehensive condition report (and seem pretty fair on the grading) and put all of the service records online so they are pretty transparent in that regard. Having said that, you’ve got a car the seems to need new tires, new CV boots, new coolant hoses, needs to have the AC system sorted (more/less important depending on your location and climate) and has some pretty noticeable wear on the targa top and spoiler (not to mention it’s got 60k miles on it). I feel like it’s fairly valued in the low 50s maybe. They seem to have some flex on price but not sure how low they would go. Definitely don’t think it’s worth $64k. I have a guy going to look at it next week and can post more details then. Happy to share what I find out but definitely contact them directly and hear what they have to say for yourself.

    Having looked at prices on 328s for a while now, I feel like the really good ones sell for fair prices and maybe even low for the concours quality models but on the other side a daily driver with 50-60k miles in average condition is a $45-50k car with the money you’d need to put into them.

    perhaps they should get the tires/CV boots done- can’t be that expensive.

    Am only starting to look at price points and trying to understand what’s out there. Not looking for concours quality but rather a 30k miles good condition with major recently done.
    There is a nice one( white 26k mikes) on eBay but they’re asking $87k (!)
