Any notice the Black/black Testarossa on BAT right now, Already at $155. Has a Classiche certificate from 12 years ago. To me the car looks pretty rough for this kind of money! Rusty airboxes, scratched rear valance, seats bolsters. You wonder who would go to the expenses to get a Classiche, and then abuse a car like that.

That bot has more sense than bat. MochaDoo "I personally would not worry so much about the belt service if the car is not driven regularly. With proper storage, I have seen cars go 20 years plus without having the belts replaced." 3pedalstable "that $155 needs to change to a $255 beautifully preserved TR." Carwaymotors (The Seller) : Any rust on the car is surface rust and has no effect on the structural rigidity of the car. Investment grade comedy.
No corrosion on the red one, thats for certain, but How high can this 0 owner 127 mile Euro TR go? https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1989-ferrari-testarossa-30/
This Testarossa was never titled to a private owner and the winning bidder will receive a clean Maryland dealer title – meaning that the next owner will be the FIRST registered private owner.
Swiss - swedish ones had the headlight washers. Delivered to an austrian buyer (osterreich) in leoben.
I believe an '89 CH TR is identical to a US TR for all the emission stuff (but it's still not a US version TR -- for example, note that it does not have the CHMSL brake light in the engine bonnet chiclet, no knee protection brace in the dash, gauges in metric units, odometer in the center console, etc.. Not that any of that is necessarily bad -- just different).
Not saying it's an US model - guess you're right in terms of the norms. Still a bit strange as to how it ended up being imported new in Vienna considering it's a CH model - nothing else available maybe.
If it makes you happy to regard it as zero owner go ahead, it's all semantics. Even if it went to a biz that wasn't a car dealer it's still an owner. My car was first sold to a modeling agency in Italy. Should I exclude them as an owner because they're a biz - don't think so.
The seller is advertising the vehicle as an opportunity for the buyer to be the first private owner. My earlier post #7536 was a direct quote from the seller's comments on the auction thread. Since you asked my opinion, I consider any business or individual that purchases a car from a car dealer to be the car owner.
Right, and you won't find that text in Bat's description because they can't certify that - it's had at least 1 owner. The seller apparently also pushed for Bat to list the mileage in the title, which they declined. Bat can't certify the mileage, there's no Carfax for legal cover, so they're playing it safe. However, and Bat does this consistently, they're fine with the seller making claims in their comments that Bat would not include in their description. Bat claims that the comment section is crowdsourced and ensures transparency, but Bat curates it and it functions primarily to cheerlead lots and provide a common narrative. Even Hoovies, who has a large following, was piled on recently for claiming that his purchase was misrepresented. While Bat tries to both separate themselves from and benefit from the comments, their entire model hinges on this - do the comments form part of the contractual description, Bat being the publisher, curator and beneficiary. I'm aware of at least one instance where the buyer sued the seller for misrepresenting the car and the seller countersued the auction house for misrepresenting the car in their catalog. In Bat's model that could get even messier.
Agreed and BAT also loves to stamp lots with "TMU" for legal protection. About to pass the 300K mark, I think its going to reach 350.
Or end @ 294! Surprised they did not sell it. That was strong money... Maybe the guy with a lower mile car chiming in capped it. Although If your old like me you remember the Testa selling for at least that much when new and cocaine cowboys lining up to buy one. I guess its really a bargain still.
Jean Todt's TR with 5k miles for 200k euros was a better buy imo. CH car also. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
