Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Info for 308/328

[Misc (misc]

Congrats John!

I was in a similar position in '95 when I decided I needed a wheels upgrade
:)  I bought the car I loved, you really can't buy a Ferrari on numbers.....
I have an 85 308 GTSi, my reasoning is that to me the 308 is the most
beautiful body Ferrari made after the early 60's, and the 85's were the last
year, thus they worked out "most" of the electrical glitches.

After finding my 11k car via a nationwide post card mailing, I probably
spent $3k to sort it out.  Since 95 I have probably spent $6k on services or
miscelaneous stuff.  Thus, the cost of ownership(exclusive of gas) for my
car is approximately $.50/mile, the smiles of ownership is approximately
5,000/mile.......

Thus, the cost per smile of ownership is approximately $0.0001/mile :)

Subject: [Ferrari] Info for 308/328

Ok,

So I've been on this damn list for 10 years now.  Finished undergrad,
grad school, law school.  I'm positioned, following approval of my
physical, to be commissioned into the Army JAG corps.  I'll be
stationed at Ft. Drum, NY.  Alright, so that is pretty good.

After watching enough Top Gear with my wife, she is of the
understanding that I should have a fun car.  I agree with her.  USAA
gave me a nice commissioning loan at 2.9%, and quite frankly, I think
it is time to live the dream.

Ok, so I have to convince the wife of the F-Car.  She knows of my
addiction, and I think she has come to accept it, after spending 7
years of my life with her.  But she has this pesky MBA, and she want
numbers.

So I am interested in average cost per year,  cost of 3.25k, 7.5k,
15k, and 30k services, depreciation, and other funky stuff that might
come up.

Also, a Clyde price.

Now I start train, presumably, in Feb.  I finish in July.  I know the
search should take longer than 8 months, so I don't mind being in OBC
while looking.

What say you, F-list?

John
