Too much time on my hands, but it makes for some interesting #s...


Okay as we all know the Enzo is one of the most desireable and expensive cars on the market today. Did you ever think about what it costs to actually OWN an enzo? THink abou this:

MSRP: $643,300
LUXURY TAXES: 18,090 (click link for detail)
SALES TAX: $46,617 (this is at 7.25%)

TOTAL: $708,007 (Not including your registration tags and all of the other goodies you will be hit with)

Now... Lets say you want to do a loan on the car (As many people here do with thier cars) on a 5 year note. Luckily for you FMC (Ferrari motor Credit... NOT!! ) Has taken a cue from GM and offers 0% financing as an incentive or $1000 cash back (Oh I am just killing myself here ) to the buyer.


On a 60 month note, your payments would be an astounding $11,800.12. How does one afford a car like this and where do I sign up???

I understand that dealers are selling these for more than a million and even at that price there is a waiting list.

Wouldn't it be nice to have that kind of cash to just plunk down on one of those. Oh well, I feel fortunate to be able to own a Z. I should count my blessings.

While I know the Enzo is in a class all it's own, It really does show the great value you get in a Z06...

A waiting list that you have to be very special to get on...

We went to look at the ENZO last year here's the post...

Last summer the local TV news showed two Detroit area buyers picking up their Enzo's. A yellow one went to Red Wing player Sergei Fedorov, and a red one went to the owner of Detroit's Motor City Casino. :eek: Goes to show you how much money goes into the casino....NOT the customers. :mad:


The plate on Fedorov's car, BRKAWAY. :cool:

I think I could afford that as that is almost exactly how much I have to put into my C4 every month to keep it running.

Thats nothing! New brakes and rotors will run you $30k (no joke, read it in R&T), and the owner who reported this got 2500 track and street miles on the origional set.

Definitely not! It just put's it into perspective how much money you would have to have foating about to be able to say "Hmmmm... I think I would like to buy an Enzo today...."

I saw an Enzo about two weeks ago Cruising down the dallas tollway. Unbelieveable sight. I'd love to know what the guy driving it does for a living.

You forgot about insurance costs.:(

I simply lust this car but I won't ever own one. Maybe a diecast model 1:18.

:(
