my cousin has a 93 512 tr, red , tan, perfect and orginal except for a tubi exhaust system....he has had the car 10 years, the car now has 17k miles on it...the car has had every service by ferrari of SF in a timely fashion and the car does not have even a microscopic scratch on it...he needs to sell due to a new baby coming....what do guys think the current market value is for the car??? thanks.....

 

The "ask" for your car should be a bit more than this one - but a private party net should be about this one's "ask"

just my worthless (and free) advice - cheers.

 

I would say $115,000.

 

One of those pics show a testarossa badge, that can't be from that 512tr unless it has been stuck on buy the owner.......

 

I thought a few Tr's had that badge,not sure if OE .

 

The Testarossa badge was stock and came in on the early 512 TR's. Private sale car should be listed in the 105k range, when did he have the last major?

17K car- with a 2006 major, $110K, otherwise it's $100K.

 

good point, the major is due in another 2 years.....

 

The badge is stock on the top of the rear deck on the engine cover.

 

Never seen one in the UK. What year was that from?, all the 1992 models in the UK have the usual FERRARI lettering on the engine lid.

 

Early 92's, at least through 91234, had the badge. This might just have been US cars.

 

i had this debate - my 92 TR has the testarossa badge which I love - a lot of heritage and magic in the name - and so does Ton's in Belgium. Was told by Foskers and KHPC that these were aftermarket, however a lot of people on the board think that the earlier TR's had it as stock. Personally if mine didn't have it, I would have added it.

Maybe it sounds a little sloppy romantic, but I too find myself somewhat put off that the Testarossa name was dropped for the 512TR and the 512M cars. Sort of like insisting on a displacement number handle for an original Testa Rossa...?

BTW - I once had a Ferrari dealership mechanic (and a self-confessed BB enthusiast) tell me that the Testarossa did not deserve the name just because its heads were painted red. He claimed that this designation was reserved for engines which had some specific high output per cubic inch, and that they just "happened" to have painted such engines heads red for identification purposes.

I thought it sounded pretty snotty, just in my humble opinion.

 

nice article which mentions the badging (article from around the time it was launched):

Good find!

 

email me if the car is for sale with a price. I had a 92 512 Y/Black. Still miss that car. Currently have a F40 and a 2003 360.I live in So-Cal so I could make a fast easy deal if the condition and price is right. Thank You John C email [email protected]
