Do mods on a Gallardo add a lot of value and if so around how much
LPDADDY replied to richardk's topic in Archived Content
I would pay less for a modded car than a stock one , irrelevant on who did the work . -
All Huracan’s will depreciate , they will follow the same footsteps as the Gallardo , too many made

Tough to sandbag these days, IMSA has access to live data, at the roar they parked a couple of cars for this specific reason -
McLaren 720S motortrend lap record (Big Willow)
LPDADDY replied to derphurf's topic in Archived Content
I have had enough of the childish arguments on this thread , especially you derpurf trying arguing for the sake of it . Bottom line is , all these lap are inconsequential in the real world . What is obvious is that the 720s is a total beast in straight line acceleration and handles very respectably , and so the other cars . The half second or sexond advantage on any given track should not be the determining factor in the purchase of any of these cars in my opinion , all of them are plenty fast and quite frankly I highly doubt more than a couple of people on this board Would come close the the time achieved on the selected tracks . With 30 years racing experience , it would most probably take me 10 practice laps per car to start doing hot laps and unless all cars are tested the same day with same tires and weather conditions , the tests will be flawed . My conclusion is , buy the super car that turns you on for you style of driving and don’t pay too much attention to the real time circus going on , odds are you will never be able to duplicate it The lap times anytime soon None of these supercars have terrible flaws , the engineering is magnificent in all the them. Enjoy them and if are buying for speculation or appreciation potential, your wasting you time, the bar has been significantly raised for collectibles -
Very nice , love the car

It isn’t like I have a choice , par for the course when you own rare cars

Something did go wrong . The owner got bent over

Motor is now ready, finally got parts. The final assembly should be pretty fast, i would say the car will be on the road by May at latest

So this why I always thought political threads are a bad idea and we did allow this one to go on for a while , and sure enough , my concerns became reality . Democrat , republican , communist , etc , the forum is about cars , so the experiment failed as the emotions are running high on both sides . The end result , I am locking the thread and there will be no further political threads

Guys Correct me if I am wrong , theoretically , is there not capital gains tax on a car in the US if you sell it at a profit ?

I agree with you but it is a variation of the same theme , why not go for something radical and keep what you have. -

I think it is a total waste of money for you to get a newer version . You won’t be able to tell the difference in performance and what you have right now is just perfect , to spend the xtra money for a revised version of your present car is silly in my opinion -
I have restored many cars over the years , it adds up quite fast and 300k nowadays seems to be a conservative figure for a total resto . So at 600k , a reengineered 911 is a bargain , at 1.5mil it is stupidity in my opinion but then again , if people are willing to pay the premium , who is to say who is right and who is wrong . As far as the motor , I cannot understand how anyone would pay 750k for a push rod motor if indeed that is the correct figure , irrelevant in who engineered the motor or built it
