The most crucial tip is to have deep walet.

Great advice Jason. Especially the one regarding consulting your mechanic. Bought my 360 Spider that way. For the Australian market, it's important you check whether the car is an import and that the clock is in Kms ... not miles.

@@targaflorio3239 hey thanks Rob! The mechanic is kind of right underneath your nose. You forget that they have all the connections… Can save you a lot of headaches.

If you inform yourself and know what you want (original paint, engine etc.) you do not need to see a dozen of these cars around the world, that is not necessary

@@robrobster9148 I would beg to differ!

[@robrobster9148]

@@jasonjcr_cars819 okay. So it's not like when you have your first favorite model classic car or sports car of a certain year where you learn all about it's specs, parts, paint, interior, engine, suspension, body(work all the covered up rust that the previous owner professionally camouflaged with polyester) and just the whole learning proces of it during your ownership. Than there comes a time when you sell this car because you want one that's original and untouched. Because of this learning proces i bought my second car (same model one year younger) with confidence and without advise from anybody. What i meant to say is try to be your own book of knowledge, especially in the car market.

I'm a vintage car mechanic/consultant. Pretty good advice all around. With these types of cars, always get a PPI.

[@billswim]

Primarily Porsches but I do a few Ferraris as well.

Great tips! #11 Be willing to walk away! Unfortunately i had to do that with a Testarossa a few months ago, too many red flags😢

@jasonjcr_cars819 not yet, I'm keeping my eyes open over here in Texas. Like you said, be patient for the right one. For now, I'll keep enjoying my 911.

@jasonjcr_cars819 I hunted down a 2014 991.1 S with factory equipped powerkit and sport design options. Took me a long time to find one with the powerkit option on an S model.

Awesome advice! And these beauties are gorgeous as ever!!! I wish one day you can do a night drive with the testarossa like you did with the 328 haha, if you want to!! I still rewatch the night one!! :)

[@jasonjcr_cars819]

@@Omarrr146 thanks!! I will have one of those for you too! The gauges on the Testarossa are way brighter so you can actually see something! However the switches are not backlight so you’re kinda driving by feel!

@@jasonjcr_cars819 Oh wow, that's interesting and intriguing!! I never knew that, despite having a basic knowledge of the testarossa haha. I can't wait to see that one!! Maybe you can do a video while getting in it and then starting it and going for the drive, if you want haha. You're the best!! You're making my wishes come true of wanting to see these beauties in these moments!! I feel like I'm there with you on these delightful drives!!

How tall are you? I am 6'2". I've always been worried about fitting into a Ferrari. Aren't they designed for shorter Italian men?

[@jasonjcr_cars819]

I’m 5’7, I’m not that tall but I’m also not built like a typical Italian. I have some room to spare. The typical way tall people squeeze into these things is with the seat rake. And vs the steering wheel angle, it works actually. But you do have to become 1 with the era and the experience and forget about modern sports cars while driving! It’s the way it’s and it feels right if I’m honest!! Sorry for my delayed reply
