So, what do you think your SPF is worth?

SP02898, which is a 2008 model, had been for sale on Cobra Country in Aug 2010 at an asking price of $82,000. It sold at B-J Las Vegas for only $59,000 (plus 10% buyer's premium). Ouch!

Not much...or at least not what I thought was a " priced to sell". Now, my car may be hurt by a small block, a unpopular color and high miles (10,000). As a small collector, whose garage has limited space, I churn the collection every couple years to create space for cars I intend to buy.. In August, I advertised a half dozen cars with the intent to actually sell three or four...soooo....three have sold and I will likely keep the others including the Superformance. Those cars (SPF) are just a ball to drive, talk about animal spirits. I drive it in the same weather and same roads I would a motorcycle and it is still a thrill. Knowing what I know now, if I could have found a used car in the right color and with the right equipment (for me) that is the way to go. But nothing is practical about a $50,000 toy so get what you want to see and drive, don't compromise for a few thousand bucks..my two cents.

Barret Jackson and auctions like them are not the best place to sell without a large haircut. The bidders there who are not buying the promoted, high dollar stuff are generally bottom feeders looking for a steal. The presentation at an auction like BJ on a car like an SPF is poor at best. They will talk up a Camaro Z26 clone or "tribute" car built from a six cylinder but dis on the SPF as a "kit".

One of those types of auctions would be my last resort if I wanted to sell. You sell under market, pay the fees and then wait for your money. Yeah, sounds like a good deal to me!

Need to count the buyers fee because that's what he paid. Not the best environment by any means to sell a replica vehicle but it demonstrates what you can get in a "gotta sell it now" situation.

Did not see a lot of cars "get what they're worth" at LV BJ this year.
