Youre picking one up soon? Hope its a mint single mirror in red/tan with 16” wheel conversion or originals plus sweet aftermarket wheels, one owner, less than 20k miles for $100k! Haha. I cant wait to see what you come up with!
Trust me I will get much better than this... just wait... a little longer... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Capitalism- People are free to ask whatever they want for their product. Either people buy it, or they don't sell it. FIne. But some of these dealers are just comical with their prices. Are they just waiting for a moron to call? Just spotted this: https://www.ferrariofwashington.com/used-Washington+DC-1991-Ferrari-Testarossa-Base-ZFFSG17A9M0089017 But what really made me laugh was the tagline frmo whatever software package they are using, "Only 1 left!" WIth only 1 left they should be charging double their price. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Yes that is quite a nice price. I wonder how they came up with that. More importantly why would you even waste your time with that absurd of a price that makes no sense in the market place. I guess they can’t read either as all they have to do is go to hagerty to get a quick reference. They are just telling the world that they are a completely incompetent dealer who likes to sell way over priced cars. That’s not a good trait to be known for you are a dealer. I guess that’s how dealers got their nickname stealer. Always enjoyable to watch these morons fumble with selling a car.
It’s a really good deal right now if someone buys Parnelli’s car. But definitely the trs are a great deal right now. Best time to buy one for sure unless you want to wait for them to increase a bit more lol.
At a stupid price and false advertisement; they claim original miles whilst bat auctions said they couldn’t be verified... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I believe that car has extremely low miles ~ 1100 which “may” support the asking price. Personally, I don’t care much for garage queens (although mine probably probably has half the mileage of yours since I’m only at 38k miles on an 1989 model). Why do people save the love of their life for the next guy to enjoy? Freeeeeze - Miami Nice! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
For what it's worth, a "high mile" '86 TR (more than 37,000 miles) was just sold at a Mecum auction for $106k before premium: https://www.mecum.com/lots/DN0719-377954/1986-ferrari-testarossa/
What’s interesting is that the car auctions that did well this year BJ and now this one really are not venues for those cars. I don’t get how and why ppl pay that much for a car that u can just find on Autotrader at a better price. Do these ppl make their due diligence at all? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Perhaps their due diligence is looking up listings and seeing all the ridiculous asking prices. Compared to those, this sold for a deal haha.
Yeah I think there is a lot of that that goes on. The tr market requires a bit more insight than just looking at listings for sale. One dealer I know who regularly buys from auctions bases some of his purchase info that way which would be incorrect obviously.
One thing for sure, a thread that last 9 years and ongoing really shows the paranoia with Testarossa owners. I don't have time to watch this like a stock you day trade. If its time to sell or buy I look at the market and proceed. If I am a owner and its in the collection, who cares and I think most of the participants are in that category. If you look at enough of these comments it truly looks like a stock forum.
Damn! I thought I had the high mile Testarossa at 71, 500. Congrats on your willingness to use the car....as a car. Shamile Freeze....Miami Vice! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
So the BAT fantasy junction car finally sold. 105k is my understanding. I went to see the car and although it was in good shape definitely not as nice as they said service wise. No Major since 2015, never had alternator change, no fusebox upgrade... some bills in the waiting. I believe the person who bought their car had just bought a 328gts from them.

Means once you buy it, you will have repair bills coming your way to fix/maintain it because the maintenance has been deferred.
As cross reference, below is some info I posted as a response to the 87 TR valuation thread Here’s some real world info. I helped Automotive International (a ferrarichat site sponsor) get their dealer license back in November of last year and so far in 2019 I have sold 4 Testarossa’s - and have a white/tan car incoming. Also, I judge flat 12’s with FCA at the national meet and Cavallino and personally owned a 99 point car, so I like to think I have a decent idea of what constitutes a platinum level car or not! 1985 euro spec 90k Klm car red / tan needed a major (long story on that issue with this car) SOLD for 75k 1991 red / tan 18k mile Platinum level original paint car with very fresh major service SOLD for 125k 1990 red/tan 5k mile Platinum level original paint car needing major service SOLD for 125k 1991 red / tan 18k mile Platinum level original paint car with major last done in 2016 SOLD for 92k - this was a wholesale deal for a good client - Before I bought for my client an authorized Ferrari dealer offered 85k trade in. I also recently sold a platinum level 512 BBi so have a really good idea of real world pricing in that market as well
My info are also real world... I keep a spreadsheet of all the sales on bat,eBay, private party, dealer and that member share with us. U are validating those numbers; we have over 60 cars now in the spreadsheet wich yields an average selling price (not asking) of 100k and 25k miles. Happy to share with u.

I find it funny that this is considered high mile after 33 yrs. The real description should be , here is a real mileage testarossa that never had the Speedo disconnected
