Troubled, confused, Can't make up my mind!!

3 months ownership is my max.
i suffer from severe ferrari attention deficit disorder.

 

Wasting a few grand on airfare may turn out to be the bargain of a lifetime compared to landing a Ferrari dog that costs you tens of thousands to sort out.

 

I guess I did go a little too far with "crappy"...
As any of the early brake systems are not on par with a modern vehicle.

Dave, no I do not own a 328, but have driven a bunch.
The brakes are just fine on the street.
But I will have to say that when you put an 89 on the track,
the brakes tent to drift back into my idea of "crappy".
And Yes that has been my experience.
Your milage may vari.

 

Yes, I agree. I'd much rather know the exterior/interior condition before heading out there though.

Like the '88 328 I looked at in PA, sure it was just a 2 hour drive from me, no biggie, the pics looked great but in person it was a RAT. I couldnt imagine having flown out to PA if I had to and see this 328.
The mileage of 25,000 certainly didnt coincide with its condition.
I can handle small chips and fine scratches on the bumper as long as its not riddled with them.
This car had large ones on the rear bumper, a dent with a lousy touch-up job on the hood, center console leather was worn on the lateral edge of the drivers down to black. I'll stop there. TERRIBLE. BAD real BAD.

 

Have you actually driven one on the track and if so, is your problem with the ABS or brake performance overall? PS, I have a lot of track experience with 308's through the 430 as well as other cars. The 328's brakes are neither powerful or modern, but they are predictable and reliable. I never ran one out of brakes on a track.
