    This is what one of the posters said:

    Damn, owning an Enzo with a salvaged title.

    Kinda like going out with a Victorias Secret model that has herpes :/

    Yes, if you would like it you can call me. (713) 899-5646. The car is on your VIN# registry already if that is what you are looking for.

    Regards, Matt

    how do you know the repairs to the enzo is flawless?

    what qualifications does the repair shop have in fixing an enzo?

    has the repairs to the enzo been certified as flawless and if so, by whom?

    a fresh coat of paint on the front bumper of the damaged enzo doesn't make the repairs flawless.

    the repairs to the enzo isn't flawless and certainly isn't worth the asking price of $1.275 million.

    only a fool would pay the asking price for the damaged enzo.

    It's still only one of a handfull of cars worldwide so should not have a dramatic affect on it's price and if the repair is good what's the problem. All these people who stick their nose's up at a damaged car, its an Enzo!! A couple of thousand off and you have a cheap uber car that can sit in your collections and be polished, Or be taken out and given a good thrashing, as it should be, but where it might be damaged then fixed again!!

    Congrats and appreciation to him for restoring a limited work of art on wheels. In 60 years our grandkids will be looking at these archived hard drives trying to trace VIN numbers and histories, like we do now ( minus hard drives). This will be a great story.

    Wow that was rather immature. I meant it looked good from the pictures I've seen. Didn't mean to start a fight. I think it looks really really good, and nothing like this:
