    Well, after much agonizing and procrastination, I'm finally moving forward with selling my 308. I love it and its a great car and I hope to find a great new home for it. Here's the basic rundown.

    '84 QV, rosso corsa over tan
    SN 50431
    51,950 miles

    Purchased through Bobileff, serviced by them and by Ferrari of San Diego at that time. I've had some work done up here since.

    Interior redone in mid 2000's and in good shape, original style floor mats as well as Keith Collins custom mats (not a big deal to me, but the previous owner paid a good amount for them)

    Exterior is in good shape - paint looks good all around, no rust that I've found.

    Overall, I'd say it's a decent driver; others who have seen it said they thought it was a very good driver - depends on expectations, I think.

    When cold, 2nd needs about five minutes driving to slide in, fine after that.

    30,000 service plus new clutch was done at F of San Diego at 39,000 miles

    Belts done last December at 44,500 miles
    AC blows cold

    Work over last 18 months:
    Birdman fuseblocks
    new water pump
    new plugs and extenders
    new fuel accumulator
    new fuel filter
    new thermotime switch
    new warmup regulator
    Right rear caliper @ 42,500; left rear caliper @ 45,500

    It's got the original jack set including the emergency light that plugs into the dash
    Have a repro tool kit
    I have a correct for '84 owners pouch with manual, dealer network brochure, etc. purchased separately from the car so it's correct for '84 but the warranty card is for another SN.

    A few minor notes:
    Clock works but adjustment stem is loose so time can't be set. Crystal is clear
    Instrument lights are bright enough to see clearly at night, light under handbrake works
    Original magnesium 16" wheels

    Trunk seals and trunk cover need replacement as does one of the hvac control bezels. I will do this work if i can find the time before it sells.

    Asking $32,500

    Can't say for sure but I've always assumed it was repainted at some point just based on its condition, age, and miles.

    You profile appears to be set up as not allowing pm's -

    Hi Minivi,

    Sorry for this delayed response - for some reason I only just saw your post on my 308 for sale thread.

    The car is not actively being marketed for sale but I'm open to selling. Given values are rising somewhat, I would be firm on price at this point. Let me know if you're interested and we can discuss further.

    thanks for the interest,

    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    I don't know if you've been following the market but 308 values have gone up a fair bit in the last year. You may want to rethink your ask as your car is likely worth more, especially with spring right around the corner. I don't know how motivated you are but some time on this thread might be worth your while.
