freaking rednecks..

 

<---- Very jealous of Chris Harris...

 

sold for $4.8m

 

worth every penny.

 

A bit less than the $5-$7m that was anticipated when I posted about the auction back in December.

But ...what a car....

 

 

So, the 15th annual car sale held in Phoenix just wrapped up...Some stunners went on the block...

Who said money does not buy happiness...?

1990 Ferrari F40 - sold for $935K

1988 Porsche 959 'Komfort' - sold for $759K



1958 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster - sold for $1.05M


1965 Aston Martin DB5 - sold for $550K

 

dat F40

 

Worth peanuts compared to the California.

 

 

SLSBS

 

F50

 

I'm surprised the F40 didn't sell for as much as the F50. Thought it was more well-liked in general.

Finally got a ride in a friend's new BRZ. Mostly shenanigans in a slightly snowy parking lot. Neither of us could stop giggling the whole time. Even from the passenger seat, the car feels worth every dollar. Enough performance to have fun but cheap enough to not be as OCD about it compared to a more upscale car.

Hope to take one for a spin one day.

 

Has nothing to do with the public opinion. The F40 was mass-produced compared to the F50; 1,350 to 380. The F50 was also a US-unit, which increases its value even more due to just 1 year of US-production.

If anything, the F40's price is a bit surprising since it had just under 7,500 miles. The F50's price is above average as well, but then again, the car was listed with 230 miles on it, so that's a pretty understandable price.

 

Dat '53 Fiat

 

Some very nice cars there.

 

This is the only 996 I'd consider owning:

Very cool find, M.

 

rumor swirling around (again) that the P1 lapped the 'Ring in around 6:30... remember the first rumored time was 6:33... but was never confirmed anywhere. then the 918 did it in 6:57 and people expected McLaren to say something... but they didn't... then they started speculating that maybe the P1 wasn't as fast as people thought it was ......... could it be possible that McLaren is playing around with everyone's heads?

Morgi that was a repost of your own post in a different thread

you senile lank !!!

 

825hp...

http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...nal&listType=1

 

Why the only one? Other trims are just as kick@$$, no...?

 

Might be due to it having a Corvette motor in it.

 

Son of a...didn't see that in the ad.

 

Shit.. talk about a shoehorned block.

 

If that is true, holy crap. 6:30 around the 'Ring, IN A STREET CAR!

Not senile, reposted on purpose.

However, I cannot argue the lanky description

Because it's a 996 and they're ugly

IMO, looks wise:

993 > 964 > 991 > 997 > * > 996



Derp!

It's crazy that it's a lighter motor than the factory one.

 

6:30

 

Saw a new ATS yesterday. Not bad.

New coupe looks pretty good too.

 

Just saw an ad for a 2009 S63 with 37,000 miles ... For $58K. That must have been at least a $130K car new. Horrific depreciation. But $58K for a S63 seems like quite a steal. And it's CPO (though I think MB CPO isn't all that great, IIRC).

 

have a look at the 2006 S65 - the one with the V12 twin turbo - 604 hp and 738 torque.

Sticker close to $200k. Going for into the 20's...

however, they are money pits.

 

At some point, the depreciation does taper off though. It is the first 3-4 years where it is just brutal for any mass-production car...

So, unless it is a Ferrari, McLaren, and etc., be happy some of these impressive cars can become "attainable" after a few years so long as you don't mind pre-owned.

 

People who buy them off the lot don't care about depreciation. They never have to worry about fixing them because they never own them out of warranty. They're cheap because they're expensive to fix and the only people who want to buy them used aren't going to pay anywhere near sticker.

 

Yeah, that's what scares me about them. Not that I'd buy one. They're way too big for me

 

You don't need any more cursed money-pits, either.

 

You are absolutely right, LOL!

 

spotted in Hong Kong........

 

Meh. I have one of those in Forza
