seems like most of this auction went for a decent price, as well as what I've seen from other auctions at PHX this weekend (RM, etc) low reserves? still a buyer's market?
I'm surprised that if the reserves were set to allow the 599 to sell at $240, they wouldn't allow the Scud to sell at $195...
I was there from noon until 4pm when it ended. Most the time I was lined up on the right side near the trees with the other press people. Photos soon! Yes, buyers is 10%
Ah okay, I was there from 8:50 to 10am. Here's a teaser pic (larger image here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/agup627/5375314699/) Image Unavailable, Please Login
Didn't see either. Good chance the Zonda was exported as it was on dealer plates only (never was completely US legal).
pictures up here..I'll add more later http://www.viacorsa.com/news_updates/auction_news/gooding/Gooding112101P.html Image Unavailable, Please Login
The 599 is a deal, even with buyer's premium. The F50 I think is as well....although with premium that puts it at $814k...but it is vin 99999 I honestly though the FXX would go for a whole lot more than that....at least $2.5mm F430 challenge....eh....a bit pricey IMO
Maybe 6-8 years ago. Of the cars currently available, that range would represent a considerable discount from the asking prices. I think your range is more in line with the correct current price, but the problem is getting sellers to see this fact. As is often said, the value for something like this is what someone will pay for it. Nothing more. Cars are sitting at high asking prices for extended periods. Either someone wishes to sell, or they don't, but it's just silly to ask for a figure that's unrealistic and then stick to it. Frankly, it makes everyone look a bit foolish. OTOH, it doesn't make me feel dumb for putting in a "low ball" bid if they're asking a stupid number. We now have a publicly-known auction price as a stake in the ground. If these sellers are for real, they'll have to adjust. CW
In my opinion also an opportunity for European import with the stronger euro nowadays? (unless European homologation doesn't fit with the US one, I dunno..)
