anybody on here own a pagani?

thinking of getting one, and wanted some first hand knowledge

 

No... but I just ate a panini while listening to Paganini... does that count?

Which one? C12/C12S/C12S Roadster/F/F Roadster?

 

Considering how very few are out there,the question is probably "ANY?".

 

answered my own question.http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evolongtermtests/202016/pagani_zonda_s.html

and to answer your questions, i am being proposed a 2001 c12 s, and i have seen a nice 2005 c12 7.3 roadster at an interesting price.

 

Is there a big price diff from a C12S to an F?

 

yes. i would say the f is 20-30% more

 

Have you seen the ex Cayola Roadster in the US? With the US$ so cheap it might be worth bringing it back to Europe.

Hi
I wish I could help with some info but no.

However It should be a really good thing. I have been following these for years, and I would be more than happy with just an early coupe, as they go up in value after they leave factory not down!!
From all accounts they are very robust, even the first productions cars were a good things.


There is a RHD convertable here in Australia and when it first arrived they wanted 1.2mAUD
(Serious taxes on cars here and the USD is .97c to 1 AUD) now asking 2.2m AUD.

Some pictures would be great when you get a car.

i contacted them, but the real problem with that car is twofold:
- the usa importation process was somehow blocked, with the result that the car is in some kind of duty limbo - it cannot be imported into the usa, and it cannot leave without paying some kind of penalty (i am not familiar with the detail about this, but have spoken to somebody who is). (btw, they have not confirmed the location of the car to me, but i believe it is still in the usa).
- the european import duty is not paid, and all the vat has gone up in europe, so tack on an extra 20% or so and lots of paperwork before the car comes in. it is also not paid up, nor homologated in switzerland, which is an additional potential wrinkle for me.

so it appears to be a decent deal but once you add on all these aspects it starts to become a big hassle.
