Ferrari LaFerrari for sale for $5m

They told me directly it's still available.

 

not sure why they told him that

 

shldnt a laf sell for more than an enzo? if an enzo is 3m why shldnt laf be 4 or 5?

 

Interesting.

 

Not apples to apples. That would be like saying if a Mclaren F1 is 10M than a LaFerrari should be 15M. Again not apples to apples.

Each car will find its own value over time which will fluctuate based on market conditions and sentiment.

Look back at some of the even older Ferrari's that have auctioned in the 10's of millions. IF those are worth 10M, 20M or 30M (and some have sold for these amounts) then the LaFerrari should be worth $50M. It just doesn't work that way.

Each car is like a snowflake or fingerprint and unique!

 

why am I crazy?

 

I was absolutely DROOLING over your car! It is now the backround on my cell phone. Would you pm me some interior shots of it? I was trying my best to get a couple pictures, but wasnt able to with the windows up. The blue carbon is far and away my absolute favorite. Congrats on an awesome spec!

 

Excellent post.

There is often no rhyme or reason why one variant of the very same model is worth vastly more or less than another, but that's the way the market works. So too, along a series of cars (such as the Ferrari Supercars series of GTO/F40/F50/Enzo etc) some are revered/desired/valued more than others, and it changes with time.

Attempting to apply logic to Supercar values simply doesn't work, and has no bearing on reality.

 

Bang on...with one exception: The Laf should not be mentioned in the same sentence as the Mclaren F1!

 

no not at all. a McLaren f1 has nothing to do with any of the Ferraris. laf and enzo are basically same production - and laferrari is more ahead of its time than the enzo was in 2005. imo enzo isn't aging gracefully so to me id rather spend the money on laf.

 

Perhaps LaF won't age gracefully either. Today it looks modern. tomorrow might feel and look dated. Will LaF be a timeless design? If you think Enzo not so much who knows.....

 

totally fair point - I guess im expecting the marginal increase in performance to diminish from this point on - I remember when the enzo came out everyone knew the f1 shift times wld get faster and get better etc...

in todays dollars my money likes the laf a lot better than the enzo

 

I actually do agree with you on the Enzo vs Laf. Others might agree too and others not so much.

The LaFerrari has looks out of this world and the performance matches it. The Enzo is a great looking car but today looks dated next to the LaF and the interior and technology is VERY dated. However, for some they like that charm.

People pay 10's of millions for older Ferrari's that have very little relative performance and the interior/technology are now stone age in comparison. That's just not for me. I tend to like the newest cars with the latest performance, luxury and technology. Once a car starts feeling dated to me it's time to look for a replacement.

My F430 Spider which I loved and drove for 7 years just got replaced with a 458 Spider. Just a couple days in the 458 and the 430 feels even more dated and behind than it did right before I took delivery of the 458! Wondering if the 488 I am ordering will make me feel the same towards the 458?

Anyway I'm looking at a LaF as a very fun car to own and also as a long term investment. Just gotta find the right car at the right price. I can tell you it isn't $5M. Sorry Naples LaFerrari

 

Not even remotely, two different cars built as state-of-the-art from two different eras when technology was different, and marketed to different worlds.

Again, generalizations almost always tend to be off-the-mark.

 

um no joe - that's ur opinion, not fact
my comments werent general, they were specific and accurate
how many enzos were made? how many lafs?

 

Very true.

 

ok right so now its false to categorize laf and enzo in the same peer group?
really??

 

By "basically same production" you meant that their production numbers are the same?

I get it.

I thought you meant that the Enzo and the La Ferrari were the same thing.

FWIW Ive no idea how many La Ferraris will eventually be made.

 

No such suggestion made, the Enzo and La Ferrari are indeed both part of the Ferrari Supercar Series that started with the 288 GTO and continues to the La Ferrrari.

However, the Enzo and La Ferrari are very different, that was my only point.

 

yep that's what I meant

 

right I was responding to this post you modified I guess:

"People pay 10's of millions for older Ferrari's that have very little relative performance and the interior/technology are now stone age in comparison"

 

No modification, my response as it stands to F430 Driver's post was simply: "Very true".

If you think about it, a VW GTI has better performance than certain Ferraris that people pay 10, 20, or 30 million for.

 

u know its funny - when I got my 458 I had the same impressions about my 430. ive come around to the 430 again and really enjoy it, even when I step out of the FF. Its like the newest stuff that's out highlights qualities about the older stuff that you cldnt realize in the moment, if that makes any sense. I really notice it with my 355, which was my first. it's absolutely an amazing experience to drive the car every year that goes by.

you often hear people rave about the f40, the 288, but the enzo seems to get left out. its great for what it is - am I wrong for not seeing the same enthusiasm from owners about the drive?

 

IMHO, F40 and LaFerrari are very different. Enzo and LaFerrari are not very different. I wouldn't even say the Enzo are LaFerrari are from two different eras, they're both part of the modern supercar line up from Ferrari. Yes the tech has improved over the past decade but not markedly different vs vintage.

I understand ttforcefed's point, Enzo and LaFerrari were both marketed as the latest and greatest utilizing state of the art technologies. With the LaFerrari here that renders the Enzo no longer state of the art, however, not old enough yet to be classical/vintage.

 

right - and the f40 is still ahead of its time for the same reason it was ahead of its time in 1989 - simplicity, pureness, rawness.
