have u tried Algar, Ferrari of Atlanta or GTcar parts? then there is Partsource or Nick who advertises here
What year is your TR, what parts do u need, & where r u located ? Also who is your mechanic?
My mechanic can usually get me anything for my 512TR fairly quickly
The Testarossa was 1 of the Ferraris with the longest production run, there r minor differences in years but its far from an oddball car, for an exotic at least |

1. T. Rutlands (look in the Links)
2. Partsource (http://www.ferrariparts.com) |

I have had miserable luck in finding a reasonably priced source of common maint. pieces and parts for TRs. I had a bad experience with an outfit in NJ that took 8 phone calls and 5 days just to get me prices, it then took sending 3 faxes to them with the list and finally when I connected with them all but two parts were out of stock and would be months to restock in spite of being told all items were in stock and never more than 2 days away if they ran out. It took over a week and I am back at ground zero. Then, to add insult to injury they told me the TR was an oddball car anyway and nobody stocked many parts for it. Out of respect for those good folks who do live in the state of NJ I will refrain from references to that geographical area. If these folks advertise in Hemmings one would think they would be a little more responsive to someone with a $1000 order.
In any case, if any of you have had a good experience outside the chain of dealerships, please do advise. With UPS it really doesn't matter which coast they're on. |
