I can't believe it even sold. It stalled around $710,000 then they let it drag on a bit and it didn't seem like the reserve was met or lifted until it was sitting at $745,000 as that was the point when the auctioneer first said "I am selling the car". I think it may have been lifted to spur more bidding but that didn't really work and it was hammered sold. >8^) ER
Sold! Yes, it's a pretty good deal, they stated front end damage, I wonder how bad though? Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I think it was the right money for that car. John S. sold his perfect 300 mile car for 1.2MM less than 6 months ago, RED/RED no stories car. This is a 10k mile car with a story, the front end damage was not a cheap fix and in such a small pool of cars the great cars stand above the cars with a history. There are sub 2k cars that can be had for under 1.2MM or even 1.1MM. Does this figure include the buyers premium? The car also needs brakes so add that to the tab.
Different car. Though this car makes the Griffin car look way over priced. The last time it (Griffin Enzo) was on eBay the starting bid was 998K. This car is 99 point car by comparison to the Griffin car.
Cheap car, very good buy for whoever bought it in my view... In Europe there is almost nothing under $900,000 and top cars go for $1.2m plus
The $755,000 figure would not include the Buyer's Premium. I still think the car qualifies for the label of 'well bought' at this price. >8^) ER
also... it said paintwork.... not accident damage. so ws the fender just touched up or was this thing wrecked
The addendum very specifically states 'accident' and they also announced that when the bidding began. If this was more routine paintwork to fix some rock chips or something there is no way they'd have used that particular word. Anyone have pics of the damage that was repaired? >8^) ER
With buyers premium it would be $830000ish. If not as badly damaged as the Griffin car, its perhaps a. Dood deal. The Griffin car was offered to me for $825000.
Thanks Paul. Apparently the number is correct when you include the fact that a Buyer includes the Buyer Premium as part of their price. They tried to tell me it had no accidents they were aware of. Ridiculous, given today's technology and wealth of information available from the fine members of this site. Carlo
There certainly was for me - mostly because the RM description stated: "some paintwork was performed on the right front fender" And clearly the Griffin car was damaged on the other side as seen in the photo below. I think the first time I saw the description on RM's website the VIN was not included. Thanks for clearing that up - the price makes a lot more sense now. >8^) ER Image Unavailable, Please Login
I know of a yellow one asking 850k Euro which is around $1.08 million. But it's already some time for sale... Martin
Sort of depends what you would buy it for...For others to look at in a field a couple of times a year and sell it on a few years later, yes it'll be a bad buy most likely. But if you plan on buying it, and just drive it (a lot), not really being bothered about resale and all that, it'll be a good buy IMO. Most Enzo's (and other high value Ferrari's) are normally rebuild at the factory, correct?
This one wasn't. It was repaired by Matthew's Auto in Texas: http://www.matthews-auto.com/PostNuke/index.php?module=InventoryList&func=viewcardetails&inventoryID=279 >8^) ER Image Unavailable, Please Login
I was looking at that picture of Eddie Griffin with his foot up on what was the right front fender of the Enzo and I had this tremendous desire to smack him across the head for damaging such a beautiful car. He's smiling like he's really proud of himself. Makes you sick.
I will never understand who took that picture. It makes the repair look very cheap (even though it might not be...just weird seeing some part unpainted and faded like that). So is this the zgriffin Enzo?
