What is everyone's view concerning the 308s and 328s? Are they likely to be good investments, say over a 10 year period?
UB, what would you estimate the annual cost of ownership of a well maintained 308 vs. a well maintained 328?
Thanks
The 308 was carburettor and it was extremely difficult to keep these spot on tune with misfiring a common problem.......atleast that was the experience I had with my 308GT4. Even a change in temperature and weather would cause fluctuations in the tuning. My understanding of the 328 is that the injection is much more stable.
The service intervals of the 308 was every 3,000 miles and trust me they meant it. I am not sure if the service intervals were increased in the 328.
Servicing with a main dealer will cost an arm and a leg but with a good indie should not be too much. Remember there were no sill complexed computers in these early cars and servicing should be a lot more straight forward.
I would suggest phoning our friends on the South Coast who will give you a pretty good idea of what they will cost.
The other point is that the 328 is considerably more powerful than a 308 with 0 to 60 coming up in around 5.4's
The only sort after 308's were the fibre glass ones for which not many were made.
Personally as with any model I would only buy one of the last ones made around 1989/1990
