Dino 308 GT4's cost exactl
Dino 308 GT4's cost exactly the same to service as a 308, because they are the same car with a different body...they may even cost a little more to maintain because by and large they are less well taken care of. Because the buyers have less to spend on purchase, they also tend to have far less to spend on upkeep..creating a downward death spiral of sorts. I personally like the Dino 308GT4's alot and have owned 2 so far, a 78 & a 79 sunroof car, both usa versions. I think most Dino 308's these days are better candidates for track cars than nice street rides because of the cost of trying to bring them back...a really descent Dino308GT4 will cost about $25K...below that many are simply old tired cars looking for a new wallet. Buy one for $18K..dump $15K into it? might as well have bought a 4V 308...there are exceptions to the above but they are rare.
All that said...the best starter Ferrari is the one you want to pour money into and be proud of owning when you get it fixed up the way you want it.
