Like Walmart, but for Ferraris
http://www.6speedonline.com/articles...b_source=pubv1
We all know that Ferrari owners are a rather budget-conscious bunch, accordingly Ferrari of New England has decided to address their usual concerns and bundle Ferrari ownership with a three-fer consisting of an F40, F50 and Enzo (you know, lower marginal costs and all of that). They all come with less than 275 miles on the odometer, which means you won’t need to worry about maintenance for a while (another nod to Ferrari owners’ frugality).
No the bundle isn’t for everyone, what with its $6.0 million dollar price tag, but sometimes convenience costs. While all of these cars were built using F1 derived technology, the Ferrari F40′s paint is so thin that you can see the kevlar and carbon fiber weave underneath it. And, yes, the F50′s shape is a bit polarizing, but you’ll be sitting inside it and it’s performance will quickly, very quickly, make you forget everything except your life insurance policy.
The Enzo is suspected to be one of two Rosso Scuderia Enzo’s originally imported to the US. And did we mention they all have under 275 miles? ‘Cause they all have less than 275 miles. Unfortunately, these cars are not labeled for individual retail sale, but really, who buys only one Ferrari at a time anymore?

Getting three legendary Ferrari vehicles at once is actually really tempting haha. I'd probably only keep the F40 and F50, though. Not that I have 6 million lying around to blow on cars anyway. 
All that said, I consider low mileage to be a bad thing if you actually want to keep driving them. Less than 275 miles on a 25-year-old car? Everything could be wrong on it and you wouldn't even know.

In the end you have access to the rarest, fastest, and some of the most desirable Ferraris ever made. These Cars are not normal Ferraris. These are the Ferrari "halo" cars of their day.

The owner of Ferrari of Atlanta has less than 1K miles on his Enzo and he has been offered over $2 million for it and won't budge. I'd say this bundle is priced accordingly.

I always wonder how good mechanically a 25 years old car with no miles is.

for some reason the f50 gets the "least" attention from me. somehow it just doesn't pop as much as the f40 and the enzo.
one thing i wonder is how they pulled the cars out for pictures, did they actually start the car and drive them out, or manually rolled it out

I drive by there almost every day - I was told many many people (including some employees at Boch Toyota) that Ernie Boch Jr. does own it.

But if you think about it objectively, it is the coolest one, open top, small NA V12, manual tranny.............it's small 4.7L V12 screams at a higher pitch then the 6.0L V12 in the Enzo and the 6.5L V12 in the LaFerrari.

Yes the general consensus is the F50 is the least desirable of the exotic series, but I never quite understand why, I am guessing is due to the less exciting looks.

I am sure they drive them out, starting them is good for the car. I am sure they regularly run the engine, they just don't put any miles on them. Driving them out 100 feet to take pics is probably acceptable

my friend who has a f40 and enzo, he had the f50 as well. he said the f40 is a very difficult car to drive, very involved but so much fun. he said the f50 is actually the easiest to drive, you can drive it in the rain or anything just fine. i wonder if that's how some excitement is taken away from it. i always think he keeps everyone except the f50 for a reason
