Over a million dollars for a written off car.

I don't know the circumstances of how the repair was paid for, but I don't think it was written off.

Regardless, the F40 buyers are a finicky bunch - rightfully so at these elevated prices - and with no shortage of available cars, anything with a less-than-impeccable history could be a tough sell.

I would just go buy an Italia or something. Or a house.

Or a clean F40.

Wow. I imagine you'd have to be a real niche collector to spend that kind of money on that car. I can think of so many better ways to drop over a million and a half bucks!

The deductible on a car of this type is typically higher than the insurance claim. It's often many Ferrari owners experience accidents and never report the damages.

1.2 Million is about par for the course but that doesn't mean he will get that. There are dealerships out there asking 250k USD for a standard 1999 F355 Spider when in reality they are only selling for 100k.

So much better without that hideous silver/red/grey wrap.

The ad says it's a one-owner car, yet Rana imported it to Canada in 1997. Unless he bought it new in '92 and kept it in the US for 5 years, I can't see how that qualifies as a one-owner car.

I think this one has been in an accident, and it's modded - no thanks (well, if someone gave it to me then sure haha). This one's been beat pretty hard.

I don't really know much about this kind of thing, but why is this one worth so much more than the Gas Monkey one? I know the GMG one was really fucked up, and it certainly wasn't restored, but this one has been wrecked and isn't completely original either.

The buyer of the gas monkey car was widely regarded as way over-paying.

It too was a wreck, much worse than the Zr car though.

And who says this one is "worth so much more"? ZR can ask $3mm if he wants, but something is only worth what someone will pay.

Can someone explain how this car is "cleared for worldwide sale, and can be registered anywhere in the world."

Would it not still have to go through the regular importation regulations/ emission testing where applicable? What about RHD countries? I suppose when your baller you just pay people and its done :/

This one is much more original than the GMG one. 1.2CAD isn't a terrible price, you have to remember the market for these cars is typically in USD or Euros. This car will sell, but I still think it's a sub 1M selling price.

That would be a more reasonable price, except that the ZR car is listed at just under $1.3MM US dollars, or over $1.7MM Canadian dollars.

Man, I am continually learning new things by reading these beyond forums - never in my wildest dreams would I have believed that there were so many F40 experts on these forums or that there were so many that had first hand knowledge of ZR and his vehicles.

I will sleep soundly tonight knowing this, thanks guys.

HAHA that made me laugh. A +++

Next time I'll make sure to ask the experts here at Beyond when I'm in the market for a Ferrari.

Wonder what the motivation behind the sale is? Free up some cash, the price of bedazzled jeans has been on the rise after all

[importracer1]

Looks like it's up on DuPont Registry now. And would you look at that, it appears Christmas came early for Beyond F40/Ferrari experts because it even provided the VIN # in the ad for you guys to look into it even further if you choose to do so!!!

I don't see anyone pretending to be an expert Don't need to be an expert to see what these cars go for and see a premium is being asked here, for a car that's been in an accident and repaired. If you're going to buy an F40 and pay a premium why would you buy this one?

Well since you seem intent on criticizing people did anyone say anything that wasnt true about the F40, this car, or Zahir Rana lol.

One thing to call people armchair experts when they are spouting nonsense but as far as I can tell these people all have valid points on the topic.

Seems like you are the one who has nothing to add to the conversation.
