    So both the black and the white TR have been for sale for multiple years and they both happen to sell within a couple of days of each other this past week??? That’s BS.

    There’s a dealership in Atlanta that’s had a Testarossa for sale since 2019, yet every time I’ve inquired about it it’s always under contract or off having a PPI done (including a couple days ago). I do not understand what the dealership gains by this.

    Sounds like a car worth checking out.

    BHCC does get some dogs, but at first glance that TR is interesting to me. High miles, sure, but if it passed a PPI it could be a good driver, especially if you're inclined to keep it. I don't know if the receipts shown are complete, if they are they're pretty thin from around 2007-on. A quick skim shows some minor bodywork in there, at least one FCA track day inspection, then again it didn't get to 80K miles by sitting in a garage getting wiped with a diaper.

    If I had the extra money, time, and space, I'd love to find a well-maintained, high-mile driver Ferrari, and just keep it going.

    It's just SOP sales tactics: the dealer wants to create the impression that their inventory is in demand and cars are selling. No dealer will volunteer to a prospective customer that a car's been sitting there for a couple years, even if it's been on their website for that long.
