Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 1985 308 QV GTSi euro value

[Michael James (cavallino_rapante]

Steel Unibody coupled with a crossover-engine burdened with emissions that it was never originally designed to support = heavy, slightly underpowered car for some folks, so they drive alittle 'harder' to get that fun-factor going. 

 

Anyone who values a US-spec car over a Euro car is a fool - the styling is better on the Euro model, the Euro engine offers higher compression and more horsepower, and even sounds better from the exhaust.  Having seen US QV Pistons up-close and personal (they're even stamped 'USA' on the top of the piston), all US-spec cars were robbed of horsepower from the factory.

Thanks for your input guys...My gut feeling is that if I asked $30K for this car, The first serious buyer would grab it.

Another question................why do you see so many of these cars advertised with new clutches after 20K miles or so? Poor driving habits? Racing? Normal expected wear?

Ive owned many standard cars, rarely ever needed to replace a clutch. Curious.........

Nice Euro QVs are $29-35k range.

 

I've seen worn out ones for $25k.

 

I've looked at 5 308s personally in the last 3 months and I know what they all sold for.

 

78 GTS-38k miles, recent major, nice car but not perfect, sold for $27500. Didn't get any action for a year at $30k however.

I hope good euro last year QVs aren't down that low. Of course if they are, maybe I should just get two spares... :-)

Afternoon listers.......

I am considering putting my beloved car up for sale this year. I havent been tuned in to resale values lately other than whats listed in Cavallino magazine. My question is.... are the values reflected there realistic? How would I determine an asking price?

Any help will be appreciated.
