Thinking of buying the 1989 Ferrari Testarossa?

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1989 Ferrari Testarossa for sale by us right now. Thinking about the 1989 Ferrari Testarossa? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.

What to check on the Testarossa

Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.

Engine and fuel

Its 4.9L 12-cylinder drives through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

Expect about 64 litres for every 300 km, going by its 21.4 L/100 km combined rating. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $33.17 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$6,100 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Who rents the Testarossa

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

How big it is

As a two-seat sports car, it puts the driving first and the luggage second.

Rent it for a week first

A week with the Testarossa answers more than any brochure. Drive the Testarossa on your commute before you commit to it. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

Picking a year and a trim

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

Money matters

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $331.70 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $33.17 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Ready to ask?

Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.

Rent it for a week before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 1989 Ferrari Testarossa from us first.
