Are 328s, the next big thing?

[AtlantisWeb]

I've noticed that there is a distinct lack of good Ferrari 328s for sale. Good ones are commanding figures around £45k. Doesn't seem that long ago, that you could pick up a useable car for £25k.

So the ship has sailed then.

The next 'big thing' is a car whose value has bottomed. It won't have gone up, it won't be scarce and YOU likely won't know about it.

328's were known for holding their value - IMO a reasonable 328 was always upwards of £35k and more likely $40k+ (Not sure where you got a figure of £25k figure from)

The focus at the moment is on the glass 308's.
This has dragged up the other 308 variants.

328's will have their day but they never fell through the floor in the first place, so the upward rise may be slower.

They've definitely crept up, I bought a 15k miles OK car for around £27k, it wasn't perfect and in the end had a bare metal respray, I sold it for around £33k at the end of '09 with 27k miles. I reckon a similar mileage car with the paint sorted would be £45k - £50k today

Wonder if that painter is around still - a very odd set up I thought (being an ex sprayer) if its the one in S wales?

328s are well on their way. I've been watching them like a hawk over the last decade. When I lived with my ex a few years ago she had a house worth about £200k with only about £30k left on the mortgage. She told me she'd add £25k to the mortgage if I wanted and I could use it to buy a 328 and pay her the difference on the mortgage payments. I was looking at late pre-ABS models which were about £25k for an example with about 25k miles on the clock. I didn't do it but I should have. Similar cars now seem to be in the £50k ballpark. Testarossas seem to be on the up too. A clean once could be had for about £40k not so long ago but there are very few for sale at the moment and those seem to be in the £60k+ ballpark.

I can remember going to KHPC back in the day and they were £27k all day long. This must have been about 2002-3.

I didn't buy then, and last year when I needed to 'scratch the itch' so to speak, I looked again at 328s but decided to go more modern… went through the usual agony of 328/355/360….and ended up with a F430 Spider F1.

LOVE IT!!!
