Consignment

Which "consignment guy"? Might be looking to screw you.

If the car is as you describe, it could bring $400K at auction.

 

Should be a pretty straightforward agreement - consigner sells your car and collects a percentage. Usually the percentage gets lower the more the car sells for. The percentage should be about what an auction house would charge you otherwise why bother.

 

#Would that heap of rust recently sold in the UK have fetched £132K on a private sale...

Doubt it as most predicted £50K GBP tops.

At auction it got silly money for it.

If you have an original C&F dino then its a rare item indeed and would command a premium in anybodys language!

Sorry to hear you are ill, hope it's a hassle free sale for you.

 

I think the above example highlights there is no absolute [sensible]guide to Dino prices. All I know is they are definitely on the upward trend and expect good examples to fetch over £300K here in the not to distant future. Some are predicting £400K GBP for 1st class restored ones in under 18 months. I certainly thought they had peaked at £200K.

"dino expert" no such thing

Mike,

It really comes down to who you feel most comfortable with. What types of numbers are they throwing out at you?

Don't blow me off. I am serious about which "consignment guy". Just had a client get screwed by one of them. Send me a PM.

 

Sorry to hear about your health!

 

Your car will probably be purchased by a dealer who will then sell it at auction for more.

Auction is the only way to go with these cars. A bunch of rich guys with big egos all want the same toy = very high price

 

It will have a 6 handle.

 

What is a 6 handle?

 

$6xx,xxx

 

That number wouldn't surprise me if there are two guys in the room with money in their pockets and a drink in their hand.

 

2 coupes sold at Amelia for $6xx,xxx IIRC.

 

Yes, to the same buyer.

 

Mike- I don't know how set you are in sending your car to auction, but I've been looking for a black 246 that has not been restored. I've been wanting one for a while and still in the market despite some of the recent pricing.

I signed up as a silver member, but I can't seem to access PM which is a bit frustrating, but I'm new around here, so perhaps I screwed something up or perhaps you can PM me. Either way, I saw pictures of your car and am currently in the market to purchase.

 

Never heard that term before, but glad to learn....

I am not disagreeing, but .....

 

Finally, some one has said this. It hasn't been posted before!

Even more interesting is what else he has purchased.

 

It was mentioned on post #7 on this thread http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/206-246/439892-72-dino-gt-chairs-flares-gooding-amelia.html

 

I'd heard he also bought the 206 at the same auction as well ($638k) so obviously also a shrewd investor of great taste... ;-)
