Thinking to upgrade from 308 to TR

Your on the right track, 88.5 and newer, (5 lug, few extras upgrades) I bought mine a few years ago, the the prices should be in the 60 to 70 range still. If you want to spend the extra cash, 93 and newer get's you a updated version, but I still like the look of the late 80's style!

Oh and BLACK is cool...

Good luck..Robert

 

IMO, look at years 88.5-91. The 88.5 has the 5 spoke wheels and in 92 they started the 512 TR, so way more $$. I have an 89 and love it (black on black), and I too upgraded from the 308. I loved the 308, but have never looked back since getting the TR, way more torque and while the 308 makes some people look at the car, the TR makes them hang their heads out the window! Not that I'm an attention whore, but just saying the TR has a much more defined presence. PM me if you wish for any more info. Jerry.

 

Did they ever change from CIS fuel injection?
not my favorite.....

When did the motorized seat belts go away?
not my favorite.....

 

I've loved the lines of the TR. The 308 is also a beautiful machine, but it doesn't hold a candle to the TR.

Good luck with your search. And you know we here are all about the pics.

I upgraded the same way from a Carb 79 308 to an 89 Testarossa.

This car is better to drive in my view, more powerful and heaps quicker on the race track. Just as bad with the electrics though.

Worth the move.

 

No just a pain in the ass to remove! 320 lb on the spindle!

Plus better re-sale I think with 5 lug..

 

Number of reports here of single-lug TRs losing a wheel = several

Number of reports here of a 5-lug TRs losing a wheel = none

 

I upgraded from a 328 to a TR. You will love it! Good luck with the search.

 

CHRIS03053,

Try www.red-headed.com for all the info you need on the TR

 

Give Stevemaman a PM, im sure he can find you a perfect TR. Good luck with your search!!!! It's an amazing car, I remmeber when Steve gave me a ride in one of his . Lets just say i had a smile for months

 

I would skip past the TR and go straight for a 348.

 

On which, the TR or the 348?

 

Chris,

Good luck with the search. Lambo of Dallas has a stunning Yellow 512TR. I would buy that, if I was in the market.

As usual--no affiliations with them, don't know about car. Have your PPI done. Just a stunning car imo.
