Vehicle Detail
White with white. A nice original, unrestored or modified car. I bought the car a year ago and have put nearly 2000 trouble free miles on the car. I know of no mechanical issues with the car – it starts as easily as a new car…the best starting Ferrari I’ve ever owned. It has a couple minor cosmetic blemishes (a couple of small dings, dash shrinkage, and the interior could be detailed – seats have already been done and came out very nice). The only thing it really needs are tires, which look to be the original tires! A new set costs $650-700 (one of the few cheap things related to servicing a Testarossa!). Other than tires, nothing needs to be done, I think it’s in great condition without being over done. It had a major engine out service in January 2009 by Ferrari of Washington including belts and new OEM exhaust and cats (total service was over $23K). I put a new front spoiler on the car this summer. Records for the past 10 years shows majority of service completed at authorized Ferrari dealers. Documents and condition support 23,000 miles, but sold with clear, but mileage exempt, title (PA lists it as an Odometer Status 4 - "Exempt from Odometer Disclosure" (see Carfax and receipts info below for what looks like a paperwork issue in its history). I promised my wife I would sell it by the end of the year. So far, two people have looked/driven the car, both were very impressed with how it ran and both made me acceptable offers (thousand more than my opening bid). Unfortunately, I chose the offer from they buyer who strung me along for a month and then flaked out, and during that time, the other interested buyer bought a different car. So I've lowered the price to hopefully get it sold by the end of the year. There are a lot of Testarossa out there with questionable service records (missing or not done at experienced repair centers). This is not one of those cars. It's records are complete for more than 10 years and all of the service has been done at authorized Ferrari dealers...that means a lot when buying a Testarossa.
