Cheapest Ferraris of 2006
We all laughed when Ferrari announced at the recent LA Auto Show that the company would not be developing a "cheap" Ferrari. It was a play on words, because every industry insider has told us that a new entry-level sports car from Maranello is in the works. But Ferrari's right – even if the new model is the least expensive car with a galloping horse on the grille, it still won't be cheap.
Most things, however, get cheap if you wait long enough, and Ferraris are no different. Sports Car Market has assembled a slide show that reveals the Top Ten Cheapest Ferraris of 2006, ranging from a 1986 Ferrari 412i Coupe with 87,500 miles that went for $14,964 at auction to a nice 1980 Ferrari 308 GTBi with only 3,483 miles that someone nabbed for $50,600. There's one Testarossa in the bunch, a white (eww) model from 1987 with 80,270 miles that was won for $42,000. Sure, $15,000 for a car from 1986 with almost 88,000 miles is no bargain, but it's probably one of the cheapest Ferrari ever made.

Ferraris are not cheap to buy, but if you really want to... you can rent one at a local luxury car rental agency.
If you want to organize something more, you can book a tour with Red Travel, an italian company that organizes guided tours with Ferraris throughout their homeland.

There is no such thing as a "Cheap Ferrari"... parts and labor costs take masochism to a new high. Owning a Ferrari of any vintage makes owning a mid-60s Jaguar look sane by comparison!

C'mon, John, what is wrong with you? How can you hate on the white Testarossa? Didn't you watch a single episode of the greatest show of all time, Miami Vice?

I love the testarossa! I'd only get a red one. Most classic car ever. I know the only way to get them now is on ebay through a reputable dealer. I'd hate to think what would happen if the car I just bought broke down!! +$4000. So I want to get a new Ferrari F430, hence my ferrari pixel project website.

I can't help but think of Top Gear's 7x04 episode. Where they where each given £10,000 and told to go by a mid-engined Italian supercar. Then the mayhem that followed.

Never mention Japanese car in a Ferrari & Porsche post again. Dumbest thing I've heard all day.

I don't care what bleeping color it is, it is still a Testarossa. The cam covers are still red, right? And if that 400i has an automatic in it, it is probably a Turbo Hydra-Matic. Could you pull that sucker out and put a Muncie 4-speed in it? Maybe back it up with a 10-bolt Posi?
PS - Yellow, esp. giallo fly is a perfectly acceptable color for a sports car, esp. a Ferrari.
