Yea, that's really cool to see that the car is/was driven. IMO cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed, not left in a garage to be stared at (although for investor's sake, I can see otherwise...).

On 6speedonline they are talking about this same car.
I'm sure you've read the thread there too carguy.
On another vehicle at the same dealership, there is a $1.3M asking price for the red Enzo with 475 miles. Get both.
Out the door for under $2M. DO IT!

And the possibility to take the roof off is another of the CGT's qualities I love
The funny thing is in almost all quantifiable ways the CGT is superior to the McLaren F1, except straight line acceleration and top speed. I am sure the CGT would beat the McLaren on any road coarse in the world, and is a much better everyday driver.
None of this matters though because I have never been able to get the McLaren F1 out of my mind!:biggrin:

The same guy owns both the McLaren and the Enzo. For whatever reason I have zero desire to purchase an Enzo, I think my CGT is a better car and I don't like the looks. If I could buy them both for 2M, I would do it in a heart beat, sell the Enzo for 1M and have my McLaren for 1M! :biggrin:
Problem is unless a large caliber pistol is pointed at the owners head he wouldn't take that deal.
I will volunteer my time to drive to Atlanta and test drive it for you to make sure it is in good shape. :smile:
You the man! :biggrin:
I knew the guy who owned this car, he spent tons of money and time on it.
He said he would NEVER sell it for any price, I wonder what happened.
Call me when you go to see it< I will fly out with you and video tape the whole thing.
Later Brian

Just looked at items that were viewable for the "buyer" and it shows a couple cars that he had bought through ebay, most expensive was just under 40k. So I give it a slight chance on his seriousness about the car.
This is one of them... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=80766&item=4618902669

Actually it shows him selling the cars not buying them so it seems he might be a dealer of some sort. I am dissapointed that the car isn't available, but it seems strange that someone would use the buy it now without seeing the car in person.
I talked to the owner of the car today and he had said he would take 1.5 and end the auction so if someone paid 1.6 they just gave away 100K.

He discovered that his million dollar dream machine only cornered at 0.86gs when an F-150 dusted him on an on-ramp. :biggrin:
carguy, do you use your real name or any other even small bit of identifying info on ebay? with very little info and the right database, you can track down most anyone (in many cases, even unlisted phone numbers).
*drool*
I have a crazy thought.
I could afford to own a McLaren F1 for about 3 weeks. Maybe I ought to buy one, and put it on sale right away, but be able to drive it for 3 weeks.

White92 said:How is a car like this street legal with that steeing wheel? Doesn't it need an airbag?
I don't believe Airbags were required in '95 so you could replace the steering wheel with one that doesn't have them.
Hugh, maybe your buddy IEATNSX would like this?

dealer possibility huh?...i hope it was an accidental click of the mouse...man..i hope you get that car and for a good price, it would would just be that much cooler to know that someone who participates in the forums i read everyday has my dream car!! :biggrin:
I wish you good luck on the auction and if you attain the car please post a couple vids!!!
The buyer IS real......he is a well know car guy in Stanford CT.
Big sale for E bay thats for sure, anyone know what the record price is?
Don't worry Carguy I will find you another one soon.....
You just need to tell Meyatch to stop hiding in your garage, and make some room for Arshad and the new car.
