True but the usual comment comes after seeing what their old car is worth these days and then saying they wished they never sold it as it would fetch 6 figures these days. Their house however would be fetching closer to 7 figures.

Have a look on CarSales or just cars, I think they had 167 - 175 cars - nearly all C3 a few C1/2 plus some C4's. nearly all C4s were LHD unregistered !?!?!. the C3's had some LHD and they want big money. A bit too much for young family's.

Yep when the USD was riding low, many US cars were imported by people wanting to make a quick buck and they were sellng them LHD unregistered. My guess is the C4's are leftovers that haven't sold as quick as the others.

It make me laugh when people say the poor economy is to blame for lacklustre sales of collector cars.
Just when I am about to believe that there is no money around I see some cars go for moon money.
I cant believe the money that farm clearnce sales bring for laddock wrecks.
I think the American car market has had its day. Simply put way too mamy cars have come in.
Off course the really special cars will still find a buyer.

^ this is the case. Rich people are often still rich in a poor economy, they just don't spend as freely and it's often when they make their best buys. Special cars will always fetch interest, it's the not so special that have a hard time selling but you can always sell if the price is right; it's just a matter of how low you want to sell for in a poor economy.
