The 1987 Ferrari Testarossa: before you buy
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1987 Ferrari Testarossa for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. This page puts the 1987 Ferrari Testarossa in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the Testarossa
A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 2 complaints with NHTSA, most often about seat belts; have those parts checked.
Under the hood
The 4.9L 12-cylinder, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
It is rated at 21.4 L/100 km combined, so budget about 64 litres for 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $33.17. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$6,100 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Room inside
Low and compact, it is a car for the drive more than the cargo.
When the Testarossa makes sense
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Drive it on your own roads
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$6,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Which one to look for
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
