Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Info for 308/328

[clyde romero (clyderomero]

Great an good for you

I was a Ted Rutlands open house this weekend and the guys who write the FML
were there and they finally admitted that the market was soft.
This is the perfect time to buy any Ferrari and not at the prices in the
back of FML, oh and by the way I must have gotten to them because they have
a disclaimer now at the bottom of the asking price index!

Some of my tips
First find a car you like to look at and be in 
They are a lot like women and I will leave it at that!

Second and this might not be what you want to hear
If you have to worry about maintenance you cant afford it!
Earlier 3 series cars(308,328) are easy to maintain by the basic wrench
(don't buy a 348 unless you are a masochist!) 
Remember Italy is a good second world country at best, its not german.

As you get up into the 2nd tier 3 series cars (355,360) these are very cheap
cars now but they are tied to the dealer for a lot of minor issues.
Early 3 series cars are OBD2 newer cars are OBD3 and require the dealer
diagnostics.

They good thing there is that if you find a late car you can take it to the
dealer and have them run the diagnostics and it tells all!
No bull shitting around it is truly a flight data recorder.

Buy the car like a drug deal ie go in with cash and be ready to walk away.
If you need some tips rent a couple of CD from Blockbuster and watch Miami
Vice !

My prices are as follows  308s  low 20s to mid 30s
328 as well

355's are going for in the 40's to high 50's

360's are mirroring the 355 for the most part

430's are taking a major bath because of the new car that is out
They are prisoners in every sense of the word being bent over !
Try taking one of those back to the dealer and see what you get for it!


The deals are in the 550,575's they can be had for well under 100k and these
are cars that ran 200k new

Look at EBAY and Autoweek for how the market us swinging
The FML is a good listing for where the cars are and that's it, anyone who
would buy a car at the prices listed in that rag is insane or worse and
doesn't need to be driving!


Sorry I cant stay longer I am off to the UK for a trip but will be back on
wed for more if you like

Remember it is your money and Ferraris are everywhere!
Don't buy into the hype at the dealer what so ever

Between the 2 Ferraris I have owned I have close to 200k seat miles in the
car so I know them.

Good hunting and stay in touch!

PS this list is the closet thing you will get to the truth about the cars
Ferrari Chat is for Girlie GUYS!
Real men don't CHAT!

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
