    i have been offered a 1986 testarossa with 95,000 miles that has a few rust spots, the clutch is weak and no service history and the car has a salvage title, the price is $25,000. ???????

    Okay, this is a joke, right?

    If not, then why does it have a salvage title? - and please don't say its from a body shop in NY.

    Rust on a TR?

    Hmmmm....please elaborate if you can about this car. Is the rust in the lower doors? With that many miles the nose must be very pitted by now? I'd consider buying a "beater" Testarossa....that'd be cool! I'd like to see that car in person if your near my geographic area - that is...lower Michigan. Please tell us more...

    Why not part it out like your 308?

    I think this guy's just a troll.

    Quick question.... What exactly do you mean "the clutch is weak" ?? Is it slipping (ie - the rpms from the engine increase but the car's speed doesn't increase.) ?? Please clarify that...

    Where exactly is the rust?? Where the cheese grater fins meet the body??

    No service history = plan on spending $20k to bring this thing up to decent mechanical condition.

    Salvage title = wrecked at sometime, where fixing it would've cost more than totalling it out.

    Personally, I'd run away from this. Unless you enjoy buying headaches :) !!
