When I purchased my '89 930 a few years back, I looked at Testarossas briefly as that is the only Ferrari that had comparable performance and the price difference was not too bad at about $10K-$15K. I never test drove one, but spoke to several dealers and was fortunate to be at a European Car Show in Denver, where there were a few Testis. One owner I chatted with, had recently bought his '86 or '87 'Rossa for just under $60K and had to have the timing belt done...$12K just for that!!
I feel pretty confident that I could do most things on a 'Tossa, incl. pulling the motor to do the Timing belt, as it cannot be harder than on a 32V 928!
I love the look of the later Testarossas, one of the few Prancing Horses I would like to own, the new models do not excite me as much even though their performance, hadling, braking and reliability is better. Prices are falling - luckily.
Remember its not the price of admission that kills you, its the maintenance, so it pays to be a good shady tree mechanic!
