That is ours...
We have had 1 person who actually tried to buy it, he was in Hawaii, he had it inspected and everything. He actually planned on driving it. I think when his wife caught wind of it, she let him have it. The inspector who came to look at it was beside himself was excitement, he made us take pictures of him sitting in it, standing by it, plus he filled up an extra memory card taking pictures to show to his inspector friends, although he was a little dissappointed he didn't get to road test it ![]() We sell a lot of cars, it's nice to have 1 that is really special, and see the look on peoples faces who 'know' when they come in to get their cars is very fun. What I really need is to make a large sign to put out with it so people know what a $110k, and explain a little history, if only I had the time. |

Although they only made 547 of them, where's the fun on having a car sitting around? I believe that these cars should be driven to their potential. Then again, I'm not looking at it at the collectors point of view... Just my 2 cents.

I agree. Cars are made to be DRIVEN, and these are made to be driven FAST and HARD.
|

Yes, I agree, but some need to be preserved for history's sake. If I wasn't married, this one would be high on my list of cars to save for future generations.

I wish i had the extra pocket change. In my book, this car is PRICELESS. take a look at some euro car...LOL. This is one of a kind. I would never sell a car like this, wow, feel like am back in 87.and the BEST part, this car is still EXCELLENT on gas for all you penny pincher. yea, 30+ miles to the gallon and still smoke chevy corvette(chevette). vipers, and 90% of must EURO-ASS car. buicks never loose, we are alway boosting(no a crime)....so how you figure?

I don't see how you can support such a statement. GNXes on ebay have been selling for high 5 figures and as you said, sometimes 6 figures. So this guy is asking for $110K. That's his (or her) perogitive. You can't really "pump" a market with one car. It's one example, there are others available. Either people will pay it or not. The market will cool, or perhaps I should say shift, and I'm sure you'll see that this year with BJ. For example, if you had $110K to spend, you could put it into this one car, or by 5 $20K cars that will appreciate more. It's self correcting. ![]() |

I agree, bids have been within $5,000 of the buy it now price. If you were considering spending $104,000 on a car I don't feel that $5,000 would make that much of a difference and if it does then you probably shouldn't be spending 104,000 in the first place. Just my .02. That is however one sweet looking X.

Ringo,
Please keep in mind that the seller is paying the freight (eBay fees for the listing, interest on the $110,000 or whatever was paid, insurance, taking floor space, etc.). Again, I suspect that it is being run as a loss leader and is being written off. I see nothing unusual or suprising in that...it is standard business practice. |
