    Interesting, but I'm partial to automatic Ω and Tag Heuer autos.

    My Ω costs more than the last three cars I've owned (separately, not combined).

    @OA 5599: Oh, got it.

    I misunderstood. I've sworn off, at least for several years, paying more than $3K for a vehicle, and I'm not about to drive junk.

    Though I have considered a couple of Roadmonsters and last-gen RWD Fleetwoods. Difficult to find un-donked versions, however.

    To this day, if someone came up to me and demanded my car or my timepiece/wedding ring, take the car. Oh, and don't park it where you have to back up....

    "Timepiece" is when they're at least four-digits of cash.

    While I love my SSS (stainless steel Speedmaster), I'd love to have a Casio Pathfinder, PRG80YT or later, do everything watch.

    @that ain't the way to have fun, son: If you want a clean, stock Roadie or F'wood, make contact with the people who run estate sales. Promise them a little something if one comes on their radar and they give you first shot at it. For that matter, make friends with some funeral directors, too. #porsche

    What does a non-famous LS6 convertible go for these days? Definitely six figures, and probably not a whole lot less than this car.

    @55Hardtop: Ditto. Any 60's or 70's musclecar, as desirable as some may be just aren't worth 6 figures except for a very rare few. They were basic machines, manufactured to mediocre quality standards out of inexpensive materials so they could offer a cheap thrill.There's nothing special about this car, and god those graphics are nasty.

    Price ≠ value

    These are two entirely different concepts. Much like inexpensive and cheap. Commonly used interchangeably, but in true meaning, they are different.

    @Who's A Toaster!!??: And people wonder why they buy a diamond ring at Costco and the appraisal means nothing. Rarities are commodities, and only worth what someone is willing to pay, or can get the same thing for. If you buy a ring for $1000, and it says its appraised at $5000, but any idiot can go to the store and get the same ring for $1000, its worth... you guessed it $1000!

    @Tommy861: I'm pretty sure he's saying one of two things: what something goes for now is not the same as what it will in six months (witness the markup on many new vehicle models compared to the price of an identical car when supply increases over the subsequent months), or else that value is individually decided, but cost is set. You can find people who insist that their six-cylinder '65 Mustang is worth twenty-five grand, and you can find others who insist that they should be able to drive it away for three.
