    That particular dealer always seems to be quite high on its asking prices for Ferraris.

    Doesn't look that crazy to me.

    96 point, chairs and flares car with books and tools for $125K is last year's price. I think you'll see more approach $150K in the coming year. After all, the Spring buying season is almost upon us.

    Just the books and tools are getting scarce as hens teeth, and the last complete set together sold for what, $18K?

    Hate to say it, but the days of bargain Dinos are over, at least for now.

    I know I've said it before, but unless you dig really hard, and get a very lucky, their just don't seem to be any sub $100K GTS cars out there that are not in need of something major.

    Shawn, as an aggressive shopper of Dinos, what do you think?

    If this car is for real, I'd say $125K would be a very good price in this market, and that with some patience, he may well get close to the $149K he's looking for.

    If the last car I saw was $80K, (and it sold for that), it would have been at over $130K by the time you'd get it into this kind of condition.

    The link above from Autosport was taken on Sat Mar 11 2006. I have not contacted the dealer, but it is a current ad.

    i don't think this car will struggle to bring more than the numbers being tossed around. i agree, a flares and chairs dino like this at $125k is not a real number.

    as much as i think the price flucuations in the last several months are a sign of an upswing in the market, i can't say for certain - at least in terms of the last 3 months. however, all one needs to do is to look at the recent muscle cars sold at the january auctions. they make one wonder whether the prices are real. the biggest problem is that there have been few cars changing hands. the "public" transactions have been for great cars, so it shows the high end of the market, but these level of cars are rare. most cars are in nowhere near this type of condition. it is the average cars that will set the market. of course owners of average cars want the premium prices seen by the excellent cars, but they never seem to get it. until more average cars hit the market, it will be hard to say. until then, god bless autosport design if they actually sold their dino for $150k.

    I'd even sell it to YOU for that much.

    Well.........

    Maybe that's not entirely true.

    Ok, truth be told, I'd sell it to anyone for $200K.

    All BS aside. If very nice, 95 point and above GTS's are in the $150K range, then the equivalent GT should be about $120-130. I'd probably entertain an offer in that range.

    QUOTE=racey red] I was that California collector. Elliot was a great guy to deal with. I was going to purchase the car for $110,000. I heard from Elliot that the car ACTUALLY sold for around $125,000. I decided to purchase an "L" series Dino instead./QUOTE]

    Thanks for the insite on the real numbers for this car. As a side note what was it about the "L" car that you liked better?

    Thanks

    Jim,

    That was Racey Red, whose posting (in the thread on the blue Cooper Classics 246GT) I simply quoted. I noted the discussion on prices of the GTs and thought Racey Red's report would be relevant.
    Regards.

    Andy

    BTW, like you, I have a 993 C2S too.

    Just thinking aloud - I am curious to know if there is a marked increase in price with the right hand drive dinos, as I believe only 10% of the entire dino production went to that particular interior configuration.

    I'd be interested in your opinions on this.

    Best regards,
    Clair

    You know its funny but lately rhd dinos have lagged behind. I think a lot of the reason is a lot of new demand from Europe, USA etc and demand in the UK not altering. Also rhd cars used to be a lot more so maybe its just the lhd market catching up. Looking back through the last few years dealers such as Nick Cartright seem to be charging about the same price with maybe a very slight price increase.

    Gregg raises the age old question of to drive, or not to drive (e.g. show). these are just awesome cars to drive. do you want to tell your grandkids about the great car shows you were in or the memorable days driving that dino? I'm right there with Gregg! Drive those dinos well and often!

    i know of more private sales that have taken place in the last month than i do of public sales. teh better cars are selling at levels more than people have seen and the driver cars have sold at levels far higher than peopl have seen. i would like to see a great or very good dino come to market in the next 2-3 months, i think it will blow peoples minds, including my own.
