The 1985 Ferrari 308: before you buy

CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 1985 Ferrari 308 before you buy one elsewhere. Here is what to know about the 1985 Ferrari 308 before buying one.

Recalls and complaints

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

The figures, translated

Its powertrain is the 2.9L 8-cylinder with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

Combined fuel use is 21.4 L/100 km: about 64 litres for 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $33.17 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$6,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Inside and out

Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.

A good match for

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Rent it for a week first

Rent the 308 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If the 308 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Try the 308 on your commute, then decide.

The cost of driving it

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$6,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Year and trim

If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
