Thank you its a 1992 with 76,000 miles. This car was affected by the snap ring and had its transmission rebuilt not so long ago. It has some aftermarket bolt ons but all of the original parts were included with the purchase. As for price, lets just say it cost about half as much as that red one :smile:

Congrats to you and your father, thanks for joining the community. I'm sure you will find many useful information on here, this forum has helped me in the past.

Wow, thats a bit silly.


I got a '93 with 13500 original that's much to sexy for the road.

I thought about asking 50K if I sold it. Is that unreasonable at this point as low mile examples get more rare ?

thx S

That is a very debatable question as you can tell from this thread. It will also very dramatically on the maintenance history and overall condition. Just because a vehicle has low mileage doesn't mean it is in "collection" condition. There is also a difference for collectors in "first year" - 1991 and later years - 1993.

Sometimes the best way to test the market is to simply list the car and see what happens. As long as you aren't in a hurry, simply state "firm" in your price and leave it listed for a few months.

It could just be a marketing ploy - and you guys are just falling for it.

Nothing wrong with asking a crazy price, what better way to get free advertising. We listed our GPW s2000 for $52k and guess what, it sold after tons of people said we were nuts, etc.

P.S. Same goes with homes, it's called comparables!

If my neighbor suddenly sells his house for a million dollars, guess who will be happy campers, all the rest of us who live around here

Makes me think of Ferrari market manipulation. Here's a quote from the Ferrari boards:

Manipulating the Ferrari market isn't very difficult, if one dealer has the financial balls to buy virtually every available car in a small production run, and then start hyping the car to create a demand.

In 1987, I was doing mechanical work for a dealer in Portland , Oregon who actually did this to the Ferrari Daytona Spyder market, as well as 330GTS, and Maserati Ghibli Spyders. When there is ONLY 50 or so real Daytona Spyders in the world and you obtain five or six of the only ones that may be for sale, you can start manipulating the prices. Pre internet- the venue to sell these cars was Autoweek. This dealer started placing ads for ONE Daytona Spyder for at least 100K over the market value. The ad would run for a full four or five weeks, and then he'd put a SOLD right over the ad copy. A month went by, and the next Daytona was advertised, but now 200K higher than market. Five or six weeks later, the SOLD ad came out. This went on for a half year, until the prices had reached a half million dollars, and then the cars started selling. Investors perceived this was a sure way to double their money- Wall Street Journal did a story on the rapidly rising Ferrari prices, and in 1988 the Ferrari market caught on fire. This manipulating of the market was an incredible thing to witness, and it's certainly made an indelible impression on me, what a "bubble" is.

Interesting discussion, but I agree with RSO 34.
