Another Ferrari FXX on eBay
When Ferrari sold 29 FXXs last year, only very special fans of the prancing horse were invited to buy. After writing $1.8 million checks, each of those FXX owners were treated like Ferrari factory test drivers, their cars shuttled to European tracks by the manufacturer, maintained by Ferrari mechanics and, if desired, stored at the Maranello test track.
Because of all the exclusivity connected with FXX ownership, purchasers also had to sign contracts requiring Ferrari permission for any FXX to ever be sold.
That's why it's rather surprising to see another one show up on eBay. Possibly even more surprising is the odometer reading of only 10 kilometers (6.2 miles). Who buys an FXX and never takes advantage of track time in Maranello? The eBay listing is by MDM Eurotics, but doesn't reveal the car's VIN or owner, so we may never know.
Bidding began at the bargain basement price of $750,000, and as of very early this morning, the price on the pristine supercar had reached $2.7 million. There's one clue to the owner's identity. The seller of this FXX may not be a car lover, but is definitely a shrewd investor.
How about one more FXX surprise? MDM Eurotics has not one but two FXXs for sale. The second also with only 10 km but is listed at €2.54 million ($3.34 million). Wow. Two FXXs in the same office. Hey, Boss? When are we getting ours?
More photos after the jump. Thanks to WenChun for the tip!

In case anyone gets the VIN, might be listed. (Ebay ad says it is available upon request.)

Over 1 Million dollars return on your investment . . Wonder who the sane person is in these deal.
Thing looks hideous from the back.

MDM is just a broker. They don't actually have the cars, let alone an office most likely. Seeing as how the president has a Milwaukie phone number, I bet he hasn't even *seen* an FXX.
Christ, they didn't even bother to write an original description for the car.
Aside: I like the Gemballa "Mirage GT" they have listed from Alain Class Motors.

MDM is two 18 year old kids. A search of their web site reveled photos of them looking like "mad tyte drifters." The address one gives for their company is in fact their mother's condo.
There is a wonderful thread about them at the Ferrari forum with their photographs, I do not know if you need to be a member to view it.

No matter how well it performs, the FXX is downright heinous in appearance.

"Who buys an FXX and never takes advantage of track time in Maranello?"
The same people who buy vintage Leica rangefinder in unopened boxes, do not open the box but have it x-rayed to make sure there's a camera in there. Heaven forbid it would actually be used to shoot a pictures.
However, seeing how easy it is to split an Enzo in two and have it burn to ashes, I'd be nervous to take my $1.8M car to the track.
Then again, someone paid $1.8M for a car? Mwaaaahahahahahahaha.

Isn't it against a law or five to offer something you do not have?? I know it is against Ebay rules.

Easy? From what I have read about both accedints the Enzos were traveling and very high speeds. Care to find out what would happen to you and your car if it could reach those speeds and have an accident.
Yeah they broke apart and one caught fire, but no one was killed from either car. Damn impressive for a road car!
