Folks,

Was discussed previously when for sale by Steve Watson at Car Planet (I can't find the thread now..maybe it was removed ) Update: after doing a thorough search it appears Steve pulled his original thread advertising this nice car. BTW, there was nothing controversial about the post or the car as far as I recall. Now the history is lost though. Shame! I've forgotten Car Planet's original asking price but, in the end, he said he was going to take it to auciton which, apparently, is what he did.

Anyway, it ended up selling at aucton for $45,100. Here is the thread that reported the sale:

Interesting dynamics here, I think. I am in the investment business, so I am very interested in how markets work. I would say the auction market at Monterey is very efficient. I wonder why someone (the seller in this case) would think a car is worth $16,000 more, 22%, than it sold for just a month ago.

Jose, I am not trying to give you a hard time at all. The ability to know the market better than most is a great skill! It is a difference of opinion that makes a horse race.

What's the mileage on the car?
