diabloking Report post Posted August 3, 2014 For some cars... But realise I know people who are paying these prices for these cars... and then sending them of for $150k restorations.. Seems to me the next real values will be cars that need a lot of restoration. Just think...if you can get a Countach needing much tlc with prices the way they are you will still be ahead of the game!!!

CountachQV Report post Posted August 7, 2014 http://www.classicdriver.com/en/car/lambor...ach/1987/245343 Lookie here, makes the Lamborghini Palm Beach car look like a STEAL!! 299,995 GBP equates to $505,000 this car is discounted by a $100K. DD are going for well over $500K now. And 25th are said to reach the $400K. Not sure if that is true but as long as we stay awashed in cheap money this will go on. Beware when the faucet turns off thou... Most people buying these now are not "enthusiasts" but rather art and car collectors with very deep pockets. 1MM is nothing to them. People like us will lose these cars as time go. I still drive the car as a "sports car" but I know I should not and it is unwise as my insurance only covers a fraction of its value now. Recently there was a large mahem about fraudulent expensive art to the point where expert are now reluctant to do expertise and have their name on it (famous ones got burned) . I wonder how much that has to do with them turning to cars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandguy Report post Posted August 7, 2014 People like us will lose these cars as time go. I still drive the car as a "sports car" but I know I should not and it is unwise as my insurance only covers a fraction of its value now. A real fear that's starting to show its face. I've dropped off a few forums because all they talk about is values while bitch slapping every car that comes up for sale. What happened to the threads that would go on for days on how to refurbish a rotor or rebuild a distributor cap in you garage with kitchen utensils? The good old days...

w8yne Report post Posted August 19, 2014 I think the bumpers and lack of wing hurt the Palm Beach car. I have heard the dealer did turn down 275k. SOLD!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountachQV Report post Posted August 28, 2014 Well Patrick, looks like you are rowing over to my boat....and be stuck just looking at your car lol Well I still drive it as a middle aged crisis man... but I am rowing all right.... I am trying to convince myself it is all in the mind. If something happens I'll have a junk car I wont be able to replace, at least for a while until things cool off. FYI, I hear from jag owners that Jags type E are now selling in the $300K and more... nutty world.. they must be also experiencing these jitters.
