328 versus 348 values

What is Manheim auctions? Can I buy a car there? If so, how do I contact them? Thanks

 

What was the Average Price for a 328 GTB ?

I rarely see 1 for sale.

 

Google is your friend.

 

I have a feeling that 47K miles car was that disasterous car I bought from Premier Auto. If its an 89' and red/black then it is probably it. I would throw that car out and then the next lowest because of the condition of the interior was probably much worse on that one then all the others....thus the price reflecting more of the condition then the miles...

 

Those look like strong prices. How does the average this time compare with last year?

 

very true, and a very good way to look at it. So what would you guessimate the average 348 is worth in the average buyers market....
52k?
51k?

 

that's good news for me... it means there's hope for me yet to owning a 328 or 348.... are the values trending up or down?

 

Thanks....but Good Lord, what have 348 Spider prices gone up to if the other 348 prices are so strong?

 

Those numbers look good on paper--Now go and find a GOOD car, decent miles, the right color for you, and within a reasonable distance. I am sure those numbers will NOT hold up.

 

Very true. In the UK at any rate, finding a 348 spider in the right condition and colour etc is very difficult. I found that sellers can pretty much name their price for a mint car

Those numbers are ok in the States. In Italy a good 328 has asking price of an average 348, if not higher. Market is really different depending of where you do your shopping.

I was thinking the same thing, although almost immediately after I started looking I tossed the "reasonable distance" limitation. Ferrari's are too rare to stick to the surrounding counties.

My experience has been that, when you're looking to buy (as I am, though a 308 or 328), you can only use these prices as a guideline and not a rule. Before I bought my 993 - which is admittedly much more common - I looked at a few that had minor issues, and I negotiated hard on those. When The Perfect Car came along, I paid high market value for it because I knew that the time I'd spend finding another like it, in the colors I wanted, wasn't worth knocking another couple thousand off the price. With a 328 or 348, they're harder to find and I would use the prices quoted on f-chat only as a sanity check, not some kind of stone tablet of Ferrari values.

My two lira...

 

Thanks. The Spider prices are more in line with what I'd expected. I wonder if convertible prices are historically more stable? Flat or increasing values in this area are fine with me, too. Perhaps the 348 has already seen its bottom.

 

Meaning in REAL world situations--like actually buying a car--those numbers are going to be LOW. I can find 328's all day long for 35k--but would you really want to delve into a car with no records, no major service done, door dings from hell, cracked windshield. These are the cars you will find for those prices. Oh and then you have to have it shipped here from Bangladesh.

 

I believe these prices are “wholesale” prices from the Manheim Auction. Private sale or dealer prices are considerably higher as HuskerNtexas pointed out.

 

1-I am getting that car
2-I am not paying the ASKING price of $57,500.00
3-I guess we are talking about different things when it comes to the prices and values.
4-Have a wonderful day!
