I lost a car last year I regret losing and have been kicking myself ever since. I didn't want to pay too much and lost out to the guy that paid for it. I called emailed the buyer the next day, a Rennlist Member, and he said he would never sell it. I never thought I would have another shot at this car and for some reason have been lucky enough to get a second chance. Like this car there is only one or two in the United States, so this time I am going to make sure I get it. At the end of the day a rare car is worth whatever it is worth to the buyer to have it. I know I am not missing out on my second chance. With rare cars you may not get an opportunity to get the one you want again, and for me personally I would rather pay to have exactly what I want. I wasted way too much money settling for cars. The car I am buying I plan to keep forever, so I don't feel as bad over spending on the car. I hope the car goes to someone on here and even better would be someone local, so we could do a photo shoot! if anyone has any questions feel free to email me.

Well, the "market" is clearly speaking on eBay with over 15 bids at this point and the price nearing $80K. This car will help to establish the new "market" going forward for a low mile, low option, rare color, documented 98 C2S.

I aways tell my wife I'm planning on keeping a car forever too.... Sure enough 2-3 years later, I buy something else.
As a man we realize we can't afford too trade in the wife all the time..... so we trade up the cars instead.
