Requirements to buy an Enzo. . .

[OS]

Besides the money of course, supposedly you have to be a previous ferrari customer and speak italian?? What else is there?

 

[Mo0o]

you need to have really close connections with ferrari. money means nothing to them.

 

[MazerRackham]

They let me buy one, and I just walked in off the street!

What i'm saying is just because you have the money to buy one doesn't mean they'll sell it to you. It's only available to an exclusive group of people who are considered "friends" of Ferrari.

 

[bandana163]

You need money, lots of it.
There's one for sale on eBay as well...

SOMEONE on this forum could reply very well to this, I wish they'd just let the whole world know on this forum who they are and the cars they have...

If you go to a Ferrari, you need to be a previous owner of a F sereies, like the F40 or the F50. Form a private person, well money is what talks. I'm sure if you hold a competition license, with many years of professional racing for say a distinguished ALMS team or CART, F1, LeMans or whatnot, you'd hold more candle than a person with just lots of money. Of course, it does also take money to buy one...

Leno would have no trouble buying one, except he doesn't like paddle shifters.

I think you have to sign a "Cannot be put on sale without prior permission from Ferrari" contract before you purchase one from Ferrari. At least that's what I've heard numerous times. Not sure.

That's the stupidest thing I've heard. I'd go straight to the Lambo dealership if they gave me that kind of BS.

Ferrari wouldn't give a damn. There were lines of millionaires who'd do anything to get one.

Yup. Remember the deal with the Ferrari F50? None were sold, they were all leased for 5 years, I think. They weren't allowed to let any magazine reviewers drive the cars, or the cars would be taken back. That's why we went so long without F50 numbers or reviews.

Ferrari can do what it wants, they have so much money that money means nothing to them. It's all about who you know.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

You're right about having to be a prior owner, but I don't believe you have to speak Italian. The only individual owner I have any familiarity at all with is Jay Kay, the guy from Jamiroquai, and he doesn't speak it as far as I know.

 

[murphy55d]

Sergei Fedorov (NHL player) owns one and I doubt he speaks Italian either. He is a previous Ferrari owner, though.

This sounds like a major scam. All the guy has ever sold before is very cheap items, mostly e-mail addresses, and he only has 97% positive feedback. That isn't enough to persuade me to beam him [Dr. Evil voice] one million dollars [/Dr. Evil voice].

Q: Are you a dealer? I can see that the car is in a dealership. If not, is this your personal car? Why are there no more pictures of the car? I looked at the things you have sold, and it doesn't seem that you are a Ferrari dealer. I am very interested, but I would like to see more pictures of the car. I would also like to know why the pictures are in a Ferrari dealer if you are not a dealer. Answered on Oct-22-04

A: Quite inquisitive. No I am not a Ferrari dealer. I am just starting out as a dealer, trying to get my foot in the door. If you keep up on me I'm sure you will see more cars I am trying to sell. You can rest assured this car is in great shape, no problems. Almost brand new condition. What pictures were you interested in seeing? The pictures in the auction pretty much tell everything about the car. I have inspected the car personally and did not notice one thing wrong or out of place on the car. If there was I would list it in the auction. I cannot be dishonest, especially since I am just starting with cars. Not a way to get a good impression on eBayers that way. If you have any more questions, please feel free to email me back. Thank you.

Yeah, no new seller, selling an ultra-exotic million-dollar car could ever be dishonest!

I see where you're coming from, but I'd guess that someone who is trying to scam people would sell a cheaper car. I'm sure anyone who buys that car will fly in to see it in person prior to payment...well, if they had half a brain they would

 

[StageLeft]

a million starting bid? That's overpriced.

 

[Spikesoldier]

isnt this the same model of car ricky williams auctioned on ebay a while back?

 

[dmw16]

I heard something about this once. You need to already have a certain number and type of ferrari(s) (thought it was like 3-4 others). YOu need to have a personal connection to ferrari (that is your local dealer has to know you). You also MUST drive the car the way it is designed to be driven or they take it back.

Believe it or not, that Enzo may be legit on ebay. I am shopping for a car right now so I got an unlimited month of VIN lookups @ carfax and the VIN is definatly for an Enzo that is registered to an owner in Illinois. It would certainly be funny.

Actually it's not. That is exactly what they cost, but they never go for that. They go for quite a bit more.

This is the reason I am beginning to hate ferraris - they are arrogant pr1cks.

If I have the money - then it will be porsche carerra GT or Lambo anyway - the enzo looks like a$$.
