Allan-Herbie Report post Posted April 7, 2017 Dont really understand how spending this much on a non running Anniversary in need of bodywork and a full restoration makes sense... Anniv Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cake Report post Posted April 7, 2017 Listing only included a couple sentences of description. Was there more before it ended? Seems like a fraction of the info someone would want for a vintage car in need of repair. Did the car have notable provenance? Seems like a LOT of money.... I assume the seller is a flipper...?

IanMan Report post Posted April 7, 2017 Holy shit! That guy got jipped. The red one at auction for $175K w/ fees was in waaaaay better shape. When people bid on those auctions with a reserve, they know they're probably not going to hit it. My guess is that the seller will keep listing it lower and lower till he sells it for $145.

Confused as to what you are talking about. The bidding ran up to 186k, why would he sell it for $145k? More than likely he will speak with the highest bidders and come to an agreement off ebay somewhere between 186 and his 225k reserve. My point is that this car is smashed up, and not running. To make it right will cost more than to go out and buy a pristine, recently major serviced Anniversary. This also shows the kinds of Countachs selling at the low end of the spectrum. I guarantee this car has not run in many years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, let me explain. eBay auctions are not a binding contract so often times I've seen cars get up to a really high amount past reserve and get relisted. What I think happened with this auction was that whoever kept bidding had no intention of ever paying that much but wanted to find out the reserve, hence all of the little bids like Jason was saying. I think he'll keep Listing it until it sells either on eBay or off, but for less than he wants. $145 is the lowest I could possibly see someone paying for it.

Little bid increments means people following the auction closely, and not putting in their high bid to begin with, like most shill bidders do. There was something like 90 people following the auction as well. Ive sold, and purchased quite a few cars on ebay, most recently bought my 944, and then sold it on ebay. Never had any issues.

derekfc Report post Posted May 1, 2017 he is married to that car without possibility of divorce at that price we say that now in todays market but a lot of us said that 10 years ago when these cars were 60-70k. there might be a time in the not too distant future where a basket case is half a million and we kicked ourselves for not jumping on this incredible bargain.

derekfc Report post Posted May 3, 2017 true but did you see the red anniversary being sold by gullwing motors earlier this year? 190k$ and sold within a week of its listing. there was more rust than clean metal on a car that hadnt moved in decades. i wish i kept the photos that they sent me.
