Hello everybody, I'm new here

Hi, I'm half Italian and I love sportscars, so naturally I consider Ferrari as the ultimate car as well as Ducati as the ultimate sportsbike. Ever since the Testarossa came out I've kind of been in love with it (never even drove one, by the way). Now I see that on eBay people sell them for like $60-80K with very low miles and apparently in pristine condition. That doesn't look like a bad deal at all if you want a 12-cylinder car with a "cavallino rampante" logo on it. I'm sure there are lots of people here that have owned or driven Testarossas, and I'd like to hear your opinions on it. Does it cost a lot to maintain one (scheduled maintenance, mechanical problems, etc.)? Thanks in advance for any information.

 

Welcome!! Yes they can be quite pricey to maintain. Doing your due diligence on any car you are considering. And, not trying to be a ****, but that search button will be your best friend in finding anything you ever wanted to know about the Testarossa. Keep us posted on your search

$60 to $80k? Careful you don't overpay. That's where you'll lose the most money. Here's a great thread on the topic of price http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23438
