Seems 80k gets into the '00s and a nice 16k mile car in Ferrari.

On the 308 and 328, while beautiful I thought they were gutless when I drove them.



I would look into what it costs to maintain an Italian beauty before doing any serious shopping. While they seem "attainable" the cost of entry is just the beginning. The Testarossa requires an "engine out" service for cam belts and other items. It's motor is a flat 12 vs. a V-12 which results in a very different sound. I do agree they are uber cool but the practical side of me says run away.

A friend of mine actually ended up with a 3k mile Testarossa about 20 years ago, it was his father's who died suddenly. He had it for a couple of years and sold it when a major service was coming due, it surprised me but when he mentioned what it was going to cost I understood.
