What fun is a car with "no stories?"
I'd pay extra for that! |

If the new owner ever showed up here, I'm sure we would welcome him as a brother. I also know that as soon as CSX4206 is mentioned the peanut gallery will chime in "oh, you own Evan's cobra" lol. |

Say what you want, but as far as I am concerned, CSX 4206 set the bar on the 4000 series cars. Vernon's car is awesome and so are the others, so not taking anything from them.
Somebody just prove me wrong. |

Yours was an original, Evan's was not You didn't need to justify authenticity, Evan spent a decade telling us why his was a "genuine real one" Yours was out of the lime light for something like 40 years Evan put his in the lime light every chance he got Don't know you, never heard of ya :) but I'm sure you're not like Evan and a nice guy Evan, ask around, a blowhard thread opened up in his honor |

OK I'll admit it. I want to grow up and be like Evan.
I remember looking at buying a house in a development. And the developer couldn't sell any of the houses. Their market was nonexistent. So, I went back a few weeks later only to discover that the developer had raised prices. I asked the salesperson why they raised prices when they couldn't sell any homes prior to the sales price increase. The salesperson responded by saying that the developer felt that if they couldn't sell them for the lower price why not sell them for more and still not sell them. :LOL: It looks like Evan has adopted this pricing strategy. Instead of asking $229,000, Evan INCREASED the asking price to $249,000. Of course, there's still a hint of the lower price near the bottom of the ad, where he has listed both prices. :rolleyes: Is Evan sticking his tongue out at me/us? Right back at ya. :p:) |

There are products that sell primarily because of their exclusivity, and they are exclusive primarily because of their high price. That lets the buyer flaunt his/her wealth. That works with a brand or marque that is widely known in the buyer's circle for its price. I'm not sure it would work for one person who owns one specific example to try and claim his specific item is far more valuable that all the other similar items. After all, how can you flaunt the value of your car if it looks essentially like many other less expensive cars. I guess you'd have to take every opportunity to explain to every passing stranger why your car was so special. I'm sure we've all met that guy and don't treasure the memory.

Wow - 229 posts on this thread. Evan probably drops in to read this and feels like he's died and gone to heaven, but gets to look down on us mere mortals and watch our reaction. :rolleyes:

So, a short while after Evan "left" someone said we didn't have anything to ***** about.
Amazing thing is this thread is now some 11 pages and going. :D |
Interesting valuation tool just out by Hagerty Insurance. I selected the CSX 4000 series. I hope the link works. It says to add $15k for alloy body!
