Mark T,
I looked hard at getting a 308 GTS before getting my Boxster. I agree it is a most beautiful car. I really wanted a car to drive though and there is a reason most Ferrari 308s don't have many miles and sit under covers in barns. They are a maintenance nightmare that makes Alpha Romeo's look Honda reliable. Flukey carbs, finicky fuel injection in later models, needs a new clutch every 5000 miles, pull the motor to change spark plugs, and Jaguar quality electrical are just a few of the joys of ownership with a 308. The are as high maintenance as a runway model in Milano.
