1989 Ferrari 328 GTS from North America - Comments

I continue to have a problem with the battery draining. I have replaced the battery and the wiring has been thoroughly checked, but the problem remains a mystery.

This vehicle is visually stunning. It appears to be moving quickly even at standstill. Sitting behind the wheel gives you the impression that you are part of the car.

Performance is better than I expected from (by North American standards) a small V8 and the handling is outstanding with exceptional braking capabilities.

You are right on.

I have owned a 1989 328 GTS for seven years. Having raced 15 years I enjoy hammering this car on the track. The weight to hp ratio is not efficiant. I would call this car a luxury liner. The Dino 246 has a great wt. to hp ratio. Hammer this car and feel Ferrari's racing heritage. The 308 GT/4 in right hands can dust a 328 on a short track. The targa style top on the 246 and 8's leak and create wind noise and makes a perfectly beautiful car suffer. Purchase a Berinetta and drive the car... You only have one chance in life... Don't park it... The 328 is a very costly fox of a car. The Daytona is by far the best...

I own my Ferrari 328 GTS 1988 since 4 years. Every spring it starts immediately. It rides well in particular on tight curvy roads.

I have a problem with oil leak and I need a tray on the floor. Cooling water is also leaking. Else I have no problem and I enjoy my car.

My 328 1988 with 32,000 miles is my second Ferrari.This car begs to be driven quickly on winding roads and sounds great. Though I have no dealer close by, I am fortunate to be able to do much of the service and repair effectively. Both my Ferrari's have been very reliable however both are over 15 years old so $$ are spent annually on maintenance and prevention. I budget/accrue $1200/year/car while driving each about 2400 miles/year.

Ferraris and any other performance car really hate being left in the garage (especially climate controlled, dried oil seals anyone?)... engine and gearbox seals amongst others need regular lubrification (aka they must be used). Bottom line is my 328 GTB has 124,000 Km runs like a sewing machine and doesn't leak a drop (well maybe one or two... but it doesn't need a bed pan). Why do so many folks buy a jewel of a sports car and then condemn it to death by not driving it??

If you're buying something exotic look for around 5,000 Km per year on the clock and a full service history, the pristine 328GTB which has 2000Km in the last 20 years will be an absolute nightmare.

Well I have just found this site and am extremely happy. I have been a Ferrari/ especially the 288GTO and 328/ enthusiast for 28 yrs as my uncle bought a 288GTO when I was four. I long for those days again, of rides along the California coast, but my uncle died last year and along with him my 288GTO dream. I still reside in California and so my 328 dream will continue on, and I dream of the day I can purchase one of my own. To date I believe 328 is still the most stunning and revolutionary style in sports car history. The lines, and curves reminiscence of the most beautiful woman in the world. She is, and will always be my mistress and I long for the day when we can finally be together and dance the dance of passion and life along the Pacific Coast highway once again. To all Ferrarista's keeps your dreams alive and always, "Drive strong" El Duche'

This is fine with me.

Please help me.

I want to purchase a 328 and I want to DRIVE it. Mostly I want to be able to get in the beauty and go. I do not intend it to be a daily drive but darn close. I am in Dallas Texas so it does freeze but mostly it is a nice climate.

I am hoping I can find some other folks on here that can give me some advice and I can go from there. Please let me know your thoughts and if you have a good mechanic in the Dallas that will be able to work on mine when I get it.

PS-- I want to purchase one in the next year.

Thank you SO much for your input.
