1992 Ferrari 512 TR For Sale, Recent Service, 18,400 miles

The 512TR is a proven design that is incredibly reliable. It's really hard to get people to believe that.

 

Sorry to hear this buddy. I just said no to $67,000 for my TR and staying firm at my asking. Yours sounds like a good buy.

 

I see you are also looking for a yellow 328. Good luck with the sale and the purchase.

 

I like that you go for the rare and more "daring" colors.
I believe this Superformance Shelby Coupe is one you sold last June.
Superformance Daytona Coupe, Lamborghini Orange, For Sale

Interesting color and another neat ride. Good luck with this sale!

 

Dino, just wait and the right buyer will come along and you don't have to lose money. Rare color combos are excately just that, rare...

 

If you have the ability, I would say keep the car. 512TR values have been fairly stagnant according to valuation tools (see chart below) and at the very least there is almost always a slight uptick in the market when spring comes.

Hope to see it out and about at the local cars and coffees this spring.

Good and Fair Comments.

But, if he ever had a hankering for Maserati CC Coupe, I could live with a yellow TR. Black would be the first choice. White the second. Red the third. Yellow---well not at the top, but doable.

 

With respect to point #4, I used to own each of this model's series; a 1986 Testarossa, a 1992 512TR and finally a 1995 F512M. Should have never sold the M, but such is hindsight. With due respect, IMHO the 512TR is on a different level compared with the Testarossa. No comparison in terms of speed, handling, pretty much everything. I never tracked my Testarossa, but tracked both the 512TR and M. The M is very special, easier at the limit with stiffer anti-roll bars making weight transfer feel more predictable and revs quicker due to lighter con rods, drive shaft, etc. Having said that, the 512TR was 90% of the M ( again, my opinion) for considerably less $$ today. The price differential between the Testarossa market and the 512TR market is easily justifiable IMHO.

 

The right buyer will come along... Hang in there.

 

that the OP never addressed this post. I am new to the Ferrari world and in my learning phase before ownership. I love Yellow cars and this TR I appealing to me, but as I signed up this Fiasco was ongoing and the cars in question ( or lack thereof ) was an enlightening series of posts.

Is this in fact that car?

 

I almost purchased this vehicle from <removed personal name> last year, funny you should call him infamous, he is a rather comical fellow. After we agreed to a purchase price and accepted terms, he attempted to extort an additional 10k in addition to the agreed price when the time came to close the deal. Needless to say, I did not purchase the vehicle from him. Fate would find me with a 94 512TR, less miles and a 22k service from Algar two days after our fallout. I guess good things come to those who wait!

I too would question a 5k service on this car, however do not think it is a reason not to buy. You have a very unique TR and should hold onto it until you receive your price. Good luck and enjoy it while you still have her!
