    I find it amazing that with a production run of only 399, you can search the internet find an Enzo for sale on just about any given day…. Now, having something in the neighborhood of $1million to buy one is a whole other story …. ;)

    You raise a great point and if it is such a fantastic car which I think it is why is everyone selling them it cant all be speculation buy/sell people?

    If I bought an Enzo at $600k and after a year could flip it for a million plus, I probably would. I'd have had a year of fun with it, and really, how much can you really drive it? It would be art, not a car. With the $400k profit I think I could find another worthwhile toy car.

    I doubt that many people bought it for that you were paying big bucks just to get in the line let alone buy the car, but I like the thought take the $ss and buy an F40,a 360 Spider and build a cool garage to keep them in

    At some point, cars become too fast or too expensive to enjoy. Even if you're a millionaire.

    When you factor in worrying about where you park, or if you dent it up on the track....you can have more fun in a 430 at a fraction of the cost, with less worry or stress :)

    399 produced....dooms it to being "ART"

    How can you get parts seven years from now? $70,000 for a cracked headlight cover ?

    If Ferrari wanted the Enzo to be a "Driver's Car" they would have made more cars... like the F40

    I could also be that it offers like 5% more performance than a challenge stradale, and arguably no more fun, for only a 500% price increase. The F40 was up against the 348, the F50 against the 355... night and day. The Enzo is not so lucky.

    I guess we can debate whether the Enzo is more of a piece of Art than an Automobile…. But if I could, I’d rather spend that money on a piece of Art that I can stare at in my garage, turn the key, listen to the engine roar…well you know where I’m going with this.
