A low mileage G50 cab just sold last week on BaT for 60k. A similar coupe would have fetched more. If you think a guy is "out of his mind" for asking 80k for a car you haven't even seen, you're not paying close enough attention to the top end of the market.
Agreed ^
This 87 Coupe was a good buy on BAT this week. Too bad it's most likely going to be flipped.

i cant say I agree, the market has definitely softened and only 1-3% are top of the market show cars. I think the days of guys getting 80K for drivers are dwindling.
Don't get me wrong there is a market as guys scoop up cars selling into Europe and other overseas countries who will pay ridiculous money, and there is a whole new level of norm now, people can list whatever they want for their car , but I think the days of guys paying at that level ? not so sure !
I think this chart captures it pretty well. I would imagine the enthusiasts car drops in between a 2 and 3, as they are loved yet driven.
My '86 Targa is almost worth what I paid for it! But driving it today was priceless. Somehow, all the slow cars on my back country roads magically turned out of the way at just the right times.

I'm with you on that one! I also got a Targa but mine is an 85, taking it out early Sunday morning for a drive is awesome! Not that many folks out, just the ones going to work but at 7am the roads were pretty clear. If I were to sell mine, I could probably make out more than what I paid for it, but that's not going to happen, it's stays in the family!
