    Sadly in my country there just exist 1 (one) Ferrari Enzo.

    The owner has some other several exotics..288/40/50,LFA x2,Zonda x3.And all hypercars on the way..


    I can ask him if his Enzo is avaliable,but I stronglly doubt it.

    Good luck with one of the most beautiful cars ever made!

    Carlo, I remember when you started looking they were half the price they are today. There are a few red ones privately (not advertised) available Placed | Joe Sackey Classics They are not that elusive FWIW.

    The GST import into Canada is going to be quite expensive. Sent an F12 from the USA there that was out of restrictions and I had no idea it was a very complicated process to deal with customs in Canada ?

    Not a complicated process at all, especially for anyone familiar with it.

    GST is a federal sales tax and would (most likely) need to be paid on a domestically purchased car anyways, so it's inconsequential in this case.

    Strange that someone bothered importing an F12 from the US into Canada; our 'secondary' market prices are roughly equal to the US, without having to account for the difference in currencies, duties, gas taxes and (of course ;) ), the GST.


    Apologies for the OT... GL with completing the set, Carlo!

    Edit - To get back on topic:

    Carlo, have you considered waiting for the RIV restrictions to pass on an Enzo and import a Euro car? 02 built cars should be eligible in less that 18 months...

    That is what I had suggested last time . Keep the car in Europe and enjoy it there during vacations. Then bring it here. 18mo go by so fast.

    You'll need the LaFerrari also to complete the collection. :)

    In Canada we are only permitted to currently import usa cars. I don't have a lifestyle where I can buy a Euro car and enjoy it there till admissible in Canada. Heck, my first trip to Europe was for 7 days just a couple years ago.

    Somebody here has got to know of an American Enzo with 5, 10, 15,000+ miles. Ferrari Chat members, with their knowledge, connections, and willingness to assist others, have made this one of the best parts of my "Ferrari lyfe" experience.

    Cheers, and thanks again in advance to all. Carlo

    We had this talk before. There is no carfax in Europe (at least until when I left). So people don't really have a use for the vin.

    Hpi is the uk equivalent, not sure about the continent.

    Why the obsession with the vin details of other peoples cars?

    It helps trace the history of the car.

    I can understand that if your a historian, but why the obsession by some of collecting numbers in order to be an unelected moral guardian?

    It's more about the car than the owner. If tomorrow you are looking to buy an F40, it is nice to know where the car was and when and if it corroborates what you are being told by the seller.
    Nowadays, you can google a vin and you can find a lot of information i.e. when the car was serviced and where, if it was crashed etc. But also, pertinent forum's posts by people who have seen the cars irl and will attest of the car's quality or lack thereof at a certain point in time.

    Usually people who collect vins do it for the car and do not care about the owner's private life.

    Dancy Automotive in Great Neck, NY claims to have one but I would be extremely leery of buying a honda from them, let alone an Enzo. They are some of the most morally corrupt human beings I've ever encountered. Maybe give them a ring just to toy with them a bit. If they really do have an Enzo I'm sure it was owned by one of their rapper 'clients' a

    Hey Carlo,

    There is a red one being offered by fusion Luxury Motors in L.A. ... low miles, high price. Don't know anything about the seller good, bad or indifferent, but it might be worth looking into.

    Fusion Luxury Motors

    There's also a Grigio one from Morris & Welford that you could wrap/spray. Again, don't know anything about the dealer.

    Ferrari Enzo | Historic Car Brokers | Morris & Welford | Morris & Welford

    And there's a third going through RM Auctions (black) next week (the 16th) in Monterey.

    2003 Ferrari Enzo | Monterey 2014 | RM AUCTIONS

    Good luck finding the one that's right for you, I'd love to see it around some time.

    Any cached links leading to their Enzo ad? I checked their site but only found 169500, a black 2010 California that Dancy listed on Craig's List back in April.

    They posted it to their Instagram. They also have an F12 supposedly. They're on of those super shady we finance anyone places though. If it wasn't so close to the miller crash and that crash wasn't so high profile I would bet they were selling that car as a no stories car. It'd be impossible to have that car repaired already though. Here are screenshots [​IMG][​IMG]

    I forget where but I thought I saw an ad for the repaired Enzo already, I was shocked bc I too thought it was too soon. Maybe a google search will find what I thought I saw...
