How many dream of a career and a job that will allow them to buy a luxury car, maybe one Ferrari, or more simply a Porsche or a Rolls-Royce. There are those who manage to achieve this goal, perhaps by emigrating abroad in search of fortune, pursuing an intuition or an investment. This is the case of many entrepreneurs who go in search of “paradise” in Dubai but who sometimes get burned. Here, however, the margin of error is minimal, indeed to be more precise non-existent. Those who do not pay are prosecuted for criminal offenses according to the law. And so when an installment of the dream supercar expires, many end up abandoning them in the desert. The car cemetery was born in the United Arab Emirates.
Dozens and dozens of supercars that are left to their fate, only to be sold at auction at a much lower price than their real value. The long stretch of luxury and high-performance cars it occupies the Sharjah deposit it also includes Lamborghini, Maserati, Mercedes AMG, Bentley and many others. Even a Ferrari Enzo valued at one million pounds. Among the former owners not only unfortunate entrepreneurs or tax evaders but also rich and princes who instead of reselling their car, decide to get rid of it by abandoning it in the desert sands. As reported by Il Corriere della Sera, there is 15 days to claim the vehicle and possibly pay the amount due, with the car being auctioned at prices that may seem more than advantageous. In fact, buying one can be worthwhile up to a certain point: in this case the unknowns are many, as well as the ancillary costs to be incurred. Starting with shipping and customs, to bring the Ferrari or Lamborghini on duty back to Italy or to your own country. Add to this the impossibility of assessing the real conditions unless you are willing to go to Dubai. Malfunctions and maintenance are costs that for a supercar are certainly not equivalent to what is incurred for a classic utility car.
