May be in the market for an 80's Miami vice style Testarossa, what are they going for these days?
TIA

 

50-70k for a decent one, maintenance is what gets you.

 

and then the car will continue collecting dust in the garage

 

Depends on year and color. A great '86 could go for 60K to 70K. A '91 from 75K to 85K. I would suggest not paying more then 90K(<----must be a creampuff to justify this price). For 10K to 15K more you could get a nice 512TR.

 

Chris,
A buddy of mine in MN might be selling his, Ill get his info on it.

 

Here is the message he sent me:
Im the second owner my father bought it new for 300K in 1990! Its red/cream with 18" 3 piece forgeline wheels, Tubi exhaust. It has 59k miles super clean I have the original wheels. I would like to get 65k for it.

 

If you can, swing a 512TR...the refinements make it such a sweet car...

A nice 512TR can be had for 100k....a concours one for 115-120k.

 

yeah i did a little researching, and go with a 512m seems to be awesome, but I like the look of the pop out lights on the 512tr

 

1989 Testarossa with 34k miles, tubi exhaust, k40 radar detector. Price is about $65k, let me know if you want more info.

 

Gotta love those late '80's/early '90s prices! LOL. What about those guys who bought F40's for $1 mil on speculation?

Oh yeah. Like RufMD said, the refinements of the 512TR make it a sweet ride, especially the interior. Not only that, they also don't look dated like the original Testarossa is starting to. A guy down my block has a 512TR and im always suprised how well the design is holding up compared to newer Ferraris. And he refuses to get rid of it. However, which ever one you go for, you won't regret it.

 

The 512TR is the ****. It's iconic yet not too over the top.

 

I had both an '86 and '94 and although the '94 was more refined I would still opt for the earlier years...much more character and the prices these days are a true bargain

 

Thanks guys, looking for an earlier yr' fixer-upper' so to speak as a long term project. As long as most of the parts are there and the body is good, blown engine is ok. TIA
