In absolute terms, the most expensive car is almost always going to have the highest depreciation.
Tell that to Enzo owners. OK, so not the MOST expensive, but hardly cheap... And now less cheap.
Zondas appear to be increasing in value..!
As are enzos.

There was an article in EVO a while back, if you'd bought an Enzo and run ot for 10,000 miles and sold it, you GOT PAID for driving it.
Bought new, 3k per annum, sell after 4 years = £18.58 profit per mile. As if driving the bloody thing wasn't enough to put a smile on the owners' face.

Nuts, what a car! the old GT1 Homologation specials always get a bad write up of being bad to drive. But thats the point, these are Le Mans racers which have been made road worthy (just). if you want comfort buy a Lexus. Imagine taking this around the 'ring?!?!?!?!? :-)

The LM version has the same engine as my S-class (M119 engine) I think they used one of those chips of ebay to make it race spec

Are you sure? I thought the 12 was the M120.

Being sold by the ex sponsors of the Aguri Suzuki F1 team who apparently never paid up scratchchin. Someone is having a good clearout!

Do rather like the Porsche 962 though.

Sad to see something this cool with only 25km on it. It was a rubbish investment in terms of return so it should have been driven!! cry

The LM version started out as a 6.0 V12 (derived from the M120 V12 used in the W140 600SE/S600).
They then switched to a 6.0 V8, derived from the M119 smile

So you're both right! biggrin

Totally agree, if the owner was someone on Pistonheads, at least it would be driven as it was meant to be and the rest of us could get to see it in the flesh at Sunday services etc and take LOTS of photos smile
