Very well spoken. When it comes to finding the right car, value must be emphasized over finding a "bargain". As for purchasing a dream, whether it's a home, car, or other luxury, why not spend just that little bit extra to get the RIGHT one as opposed to the RIGHT NOW item du jour. It's prudent to wait.
I know of a fine one that just went for $30K. Then again, it needs the 30K. But in the 30s they certainly are.
Back in February, a user named "ddemuro" posted his linear regression analysis of the asking price of 67 different F355s. The results of his analysis at the time were: Formula: - start at $68,246. - subtract: --------- $2,739.70 for a 1999. --------- $3,013.67 for a 1998. --------- $3,287.64 for a 1997. --------- $3,561.61 for a 1996. --------- $3,835.58 for a 1995. - subtract $0.39 per mile. - add $3,565.03 for an F1 transmission. - add $3,226.70 for a Spider. - add $7,683.91 for a GTS. - add $3,642.68 for Rosso Corsa. - add $5,089.89 if the car's at a factory dealer. - add $3,156.91 for Scuderia shields. (!?!?) Plugging your info into the formula, we arrive at an asking price of $57291.04. Like he does in his original post, I want to point out that asking price is not selling price. If your car is as nice as you say it is, I'd start at $60K and take $55K. Wallace
My experience is that most high dollar cars don't sell during the bidding on Ebay.....they sell after the auction is over....it is just an advertising tool...plenty of time for a ppi..I have purchased and sold many classic cars through Ebay - rarely ever during the auction.
