Enzo prices

I see a lot of Enzos offered now at $979, $975, $990, and these do not have any stories. Just 3,000-5500 miles. The two Enzos with a story that i know of (front end damage and the other engine pulled) were offered at 950 when i last looked. Not sure if they have even sold yet.

If the F40/F50 is any indication and I am hoping someone has tracked these prices before, when will the prices stabilize? Now, 2-3 years from now? And compared to MSRP, where are the F40/F50 sitting at? The Enzo is still $300k over MSRP, maybe it can still come down another $150-200k?

I think the car is getting a little out of flavor now that the warranties are expiring and people are waiting for the next supercar to hit the streets. For the Enzo to support $900, the next Ferrari supercar (FXX does not count, in my opinion, it needs to be production number of 350) will have to trade for $1.7-2.0mm and I am not sure that is going to happen.

 

The F40 and F50 have been holding well, but can we put the Enzo in the same category?

The Enzo is an incredible car, especially when it was announced in 2002. But now with the F430, is the Enzo still as amazing? I could see many people argue over buying an Enzo v. F430. The 430 is new and under warranty, you can get it in a spyder, it has some similar features, and is 80% of the Enzo for 25-30% of the price. Of course, the 430 does not have the status symbol or the performance, but at this pace, the next Ferrari model will probably exceed the Enzo performance.

Also, I think "collectors" are looking at F40/F50 and not too much at the Enzo. Maybe this will change in a few years?

So then if it comes down to the uniqueness of the car and I wonder if the Enzo is truly unique? If you want something "like a F40/F50", too bad. If you want something "like an Enzo", check out Ferrari's current lineup.

With the Veyron (1000hp), LP650, BMWs with 500hp, Vettes with 500hp, I think Ferrari's next generation of cars (not supercar, just their regular cars) will meet or exceed the Enzo performance. Will the Enzo still retain its prestige and command $800k or a million dollars or will it fade away while the F40/F50 continue to be favored by collectors?

 

I get your point, but your analogy is a little flawed. The mustang is 25% of a GT-40 and priced accordingly. The performance might be 60-70% of a GT-40, but since it does not have the exotic appeal or status, the mustang percentage drops considerably. The "wow" factor for a Mustang is ZERO. The "wow" factor for a F430 might be an 8 and an Enzo would be a 10.

As a 360 owner, I am in the market for another car and I have been looking at buying an Enzo -- I think the car is incredible. I am sure something better will be here in a few years, but until then, it is amazing ... but I am thinking in the back of my head what the long term risk is. If I buy at 950 and in five years it is worth 800, that would be fantastic. (The depreciation in $$ would be similar to a 430 spyder) ... But if it is worth 500k in five years, then that is a big pill to swallow.

This is where I was looking to get some feedback. The F40/F50 are truly unique, do you think the Enzo fits this category? In ten years, the performance does not mean anything anymore. A lot of cars will beat an F50, but nothing will match its style and appearance. With the FXX, F430 looking like a "baby Enzo", etc, will the market still hold a huge premium on the Enzo???

I think you can buy a F40 or F50 and enjoy it and not worry about losing money. Seriously, I doubt you can lose money on those cars as from opportunity cost. Not sure if the Enzo fits this category. Agree / Disagree?
