We think GTHOs are exxy, at lunch we went to the local exotic car dealer, and I drooled over a nice little Lamborghini Miura....damn that is a nice rig, now just looking for someone to spot me a lazy $2.5Mill.

Yes but not for the asking price or auction starting bid.

Pity your elders never gave you a thick ear when you got gobby.No offence intended nor doubting whatever/however/how many cars/houses etc etc you have but it seems cant distinguish between a bar and the net,take a walk down to your local and voice what you type and see what happens.

Pretty basic stuff really. I am guessing the owner realised that his prized vehicle is not worth what he though it would be worth, and accepted what ever offer he got to get out of a fast depreciating asset, before it depreciated even more. So the owner was smart enough to know when it was time to bail and take his money and run even though he did not get what he originally wanted ![]() Quote:
Everyone claims they appreciate the truth, but when you tell them the truth you are considered to be an *******. May be people just need to accept how it is and they won't be offended. Not a big fan of the pub as I have better things to spend my spare time and my hard earned on than to **** it up against a wall with some drunk yobbos.

Not sure there's any car i'd pay 500k for! Well, if I was a lot richer i'd possibly consider it I suppose.
Is this the one some dude was wanting to sell for 1 million? Turned down a straight swap for $1mil worth of new Porsche. |

It's much safer to "tell it like it is" in your living room on a computer behind an alias than it is at the local.

If you have alternative knowledge may be let us know. It's unlikely the owner got more than what the starting bid of the auction was, so I am guessing he accepted a lower offer. Quote:

Whatever it sold for would still be a substantial amount I would say and probably more than I would be willing to spend. If the owner sold earlier he could have probably got a lot more, but you never know at the time I guess. I own my cars as I like the cars, could not really care less how much they are worth, I wish they were worth 10% of what they are going for these days, then I could buy more... ![]()

Can't help but feel this is relevant, not 100% but maybe 80% true in some instances here.

I once read there are more phase threes in existence today than were build back in the 70's, that is considering all the ones that were crashed and parted out over the decades.
So may be they can produce offspring ![]()

The reference is more aimed at the fact that every time you fill up at the servo in a GT you meet a guy that owned a GTHO.
Kind of hard / impossible to build a new GTHO without an vin / ID plate etc. Not to mention raised suspicion when suddenly a car that has never been seen before with no history or explanation for its sudden reappearance hits the market. |
