Coreseller,

I took your advice and went big today. I bought a 2003 Enzo with less than 500 original miles on it. Thanks for helping me gain the psychological edge that I needed to pull the trigger !

Well played, sir.

I'm glad you were able to find an Enzo in your price range. they must have given you at least 1.1m for the danger mobile.

Nice choice JD. I know that when I'm feeling kinda bored with life there is nothing that picks me up quite like dumping a cool mil on a used car. And you already have the good Swiss wax for it too!

With any luck you'll will be able to sell your Boxster for enough to cover the first major service.

The color is a bit ghei, don't you think?

Yeah If I recall correctly oil change service at authorized dealer is $35,K so that should work out fine.

I thought maybe this one was headed to JD's house for an early Christmas present but I could be mistaken.
Saw it on a trailer today and something just screamed DANGERous!

Yeah, that drive across the Atlantic can be treacherous this time of year.

And I think that is actually an '04

Only one Enzo was built in '04 and it was given to the Vatican as a gift.

Interesting. I was looking at the sale ad for the car in your picture, and it lists it as an '04 with 15000 km. I would be disappointed to discover than information posted on the internet might not be reliable.

That was just an image file. Not the same vehicle that I'm looking at.
