For Sale: Ferrari, MUST GO - Enzo on Craigslist
A Ferrari on Craigslist? Yeah, right. Is it one of those nasty little Fiero-based abominations? No, it looks like an honest-to-badass Enzo. Wow. Of course, it's in LA! Would you expect this ugliest of Ferraris to show up on the Minneapolis Craigslist? Take your $1.9 million bucks and head over to Ferrari of Beverly Hills, because this car's got to go according to the seller. It's not often you see a Prancing Horse being disposed of the same way you'd unload a '72 Maverick. Do bear in mind that a Ferrari is the gift that keeps on giving – to the dealership service department, from your wallet. The entry price might be reasonable enough (note the joke), but the maintenance costs are horrendous. Thanks for the tip, Paul!

The owner probably realized it was a mechanically unreliable trailer queen and then bought a Porsche.

so basically this guy doesn't have the car, and he's fishing for the emails, numbers and other contact information of at least a few wealthy people.
brilliant.

Thank you Dan, for referring to the Enzo as the "ugliest of Ferraris"!
I think you are a billion percent correct there. I'm sure they're a fantastically capable driving machine (in the right conditions), but pretty they ain't.
Thanks for being the voice of reason.

Enzos are actually quite common on eBay (as common as a car like that can be)

I was giving the guy a break on his English skills thinking it must not be his native language, but who owns an Enzo and can't spell Ferrari correctly? I'm jumping onto the scam bandwagon on this one...

any vehicle on ebay that is worth more than, say $35,000.00 is a total scam. Kids, college students, young professionals, and scrap metal collectors are about the only people checking out craigslist.
Any buyer of an Enzo would be able to get the dealer to sell the car for them - through their affluent contacts.
Short in the long of it: this is a scam.

Yea it if smells like crap, then it's most likely crap. I totally agree that it's a scam. I don't know of anyone that has sold something of "real value" (like a car more than a few thousand). I know someone who put their house for sale on CL, but no one responded to the ad (house priced at like 600k).
CL is literally your local classifieds, but digitized. I don't see going to the paper and seeing Enzo for sale. Ebay I could understand, because of the publicity it would get (plus national searches). I personally don't know of a way to search CL nationally at one time. (BTW if someone does, please chime in)

Some fraud on Craigslist tried to sucker me in on a "2004 Harley Softail with 2,250 miles" for $4,400. He used eBay pictures just like this hack did. (see the little camera icon in the lower right hand corner?) These fraudsters find pictures from an eBay auction and paste them in their ad to make you think they really have it in their possesion. They then tell you that you can't see it person because "it's crated up for shipping and sitting in the shipping company's warehouse ready to be delivered". This guy is doing the same thing. It's not available to be seen because "it's at the owners house". He's phishing here. I bet he has a gmail, yahoo or hotmail account when he e-mails potential suckers.

Will it's like they said in life, what you don't know about can make you look stupid. Just like you guy's talking about the Enzo add that was on craigslist. It was in LA, for sale and sold by a dealer in SD, CA, by seeing the add, nice writeup guy's JJ the car broker...
