Ferrari Mailing List: Re: What should I buy?

[Brian E. Buxton (BrianBuxton]

No I believe with the F50 that new F40 buyers had first right of refusal 
on the cars before anyone else.  The Enzo was the car that Ferrari 
wouldn't release the title to the buyer before 24 months.  And again new 
buyers of hte F50 had first right of refusal.  They called it a "lease" 
but you could pay for the car in full up front.  They were just trying 
to cut down on speculators making money of the car immediately.  All 
they did was postpone it 2 years when a lot of buyers set their cars in 
the garage and sell them for double MSRP.
