Yeah, it was only the Enzo that had all the crazy purchase requirements... like the previous post said, you couldnt sell it for 2 years... one neat thing about it, was that you not only had to have previously owned a ferrari -- but you also could not have ever wrecked one. You could have owned 12, but if you totalled one, you weren't allowed to buy an Enzo.

I sort of agree with the statement that no car is worth over 100 grand... but I mean... car companies are laughing all the way to the bank these days. Loot at how much cars cost 10 - 15 years ago, the price increase is much more than just inflation. It's like they tweaked the price every year, in hopes we wouldnt notice or object... we didnt (because we can never count on the masses), and now you need 20 grand to buy a decently equipped cavalier (in canada). S4's up here are around the 80K mark... once you've got it home.

ya but also think about all the time and technology that goes into these cars. Like lamborghini everything is hand made. There are no assembly line or anything. Plus if your THAT rich a $300,000+ car is pocket change to some people. I mean look at Jay Leno's garage. The dude drives a different car everyday. Must be nice to be rich
