It can be difficult to assign the word “value” to a sports car that typically costs in the six-figure range. But when it comes to exotic sports cars, you have to look for every opportunity you can to save a few bucks if you’re a mere mortal looking to purchase one. This 1991 Ferrari Testarossa strikes me as such a car, as it has some miles on the clock but also comes with an outstanding maintenance portfolio. The seller is asking $99,500 here on craigslist for a car with just under 90,000 miles that still presents as being in like-new condition. I’ve never shied away from high-mileage cars and neither should you.

Of course, the mileage thing is incredibly touchy. Many collectors only want time-warp specimens, cars with under 25,000 miles that have barely been driven. This is great if you’re the type to park a car and stare at it, but makes far less sense if you actually intend to drive it. Despite seeing some real use, this Testarossa still shows as having excellent cosmetics with beautiful paint and lustrous black trim. The Ferrari has been personalized with the excellent Tubi exhaust system, as well as a set of high-flow catalytic convertors, which should help the flat 12 engine truly sing.

The interior is in excellent condition, certainly far better than I’d expect for an exotic that has racked up some actual mileage. The seats present as being in excellent condition and the same goes for the carpets and door panels. The steering wheel looks out of place to me, and while it is a popular model to swap in, I’d go back to the factory steering wheel – it’s such a classic design. Regardless, as the seller points out, any tweaks he has made are easily reversible, especially with the factory parts included in the sale.

The priority with a Ferrari (and any exotic, really) should be a robust maintenance portfolio. The Testarossa, like other models, requires periodic engine-one belt services, and the seller claims his car comes with two binders full of maintenance records which should include at least one (if not two) belt jobs. The engine is known to be robust with proper maintenance, and this Testarossa is said to run, shift, and drive without issue. Given the seller is apparently the type to truly drive his cars, this is the Testarossa I would buy if I was in the market. I don’t expect this one to last long.
