Default Visited a Ferrari dealer today

My buddy works for Penske and they have a Ferrari/Maserati dealer in Edison. He arranged for a tour for me and I got to see some pretty cool rides including an Enzo. I loved the Maserati Quattroporte (4 door sedan). They had one in a deep burgundy color that was just stunning. They had a bunch of 360s, 360 Stradale, F430, F355s, and a load of Maseratis. Very cool place. The Enzo had a custom exhaust that was louder than my Z06 Here are some pics (sorry about the quality but it was from my phone camera):

I saw an Enzo on E Bay... it said "Light" front end damage.... $450,000

Wonder what it would cost to get it fixed.... BTW If I decide to go for the whole Enchilada.. & buy it I'll ship it back to the factory for repair..

I'll keep you guys up to date on what happens..

The ferrari is a really nice car. I have looked at a lot of 360's over the last 3 months and I decided against buying one, it just seems there are so many little things that you need to know about these cars after they have 15000 miles on them. The Enzo is nice but where can you enjoy that type of speed? JP if you saw one for 450k go get it now....run John run...

Its on E Bay... with "Light Front end Damage" look at the photo.. it looks like the front end is GONE! & they still want $450k in DAMAGED condition!

Why do you think there are so many for sale just shy of 15,000 miles? Even the gm admitted that most people that buy Ferraris really can't afford them. When you have to refinance your home to afford an oil change, you really shouldn't be driving one

I looked at a few used Ferrari's before I bought the Vette. The repair costs are beyond rediculous, not to mention that they do have some reliability issues. But, If I hit the Mega Millions, I would buy one just to be able to say I own one.

If you get a chance go onto ferrarichat.com it is pretty interesting...there was a good thread about buying a used 355 or 360 vs buying a new ZO6, a lot of ferrari owners like the new Vette.
