I do have to say, that the market is not a one way road. So stay cool and think twice.
There is absolutely no guarantee, that we will not see the prices again we had for the GTS and the L and the GT5S. Even so, you can not say, that there will be no F40 for $300.000 in the future. I have seen the market drop like this and it will again, definitly.
I have three classic cars right now, so don't blame me from this site. Just to mention not to get toooo enthusiastic about the raise.
What collectible cars have ever really gone down substantially? Please tell me there is hope for me owning a Countach? I mean I could work extra hard to get together the $400K US to own one, but it is still a turd. And for $400K there are much faster cars available and just as cool and collectable.
Also at a TOP SPEED of 183 MPH if you consider the Countach a "Turd", what expletive do you use to describe a Pantera whose top speed is 30mph LESS!!!

A anniversary can be had for $400k and a standing 1/4 mile of 13.5 in today's money is a turd indeed. And lets face it it is not the most ergonomic and well put together vehicle ever made. Don't get me wrong I love the Countach, it is arguably the most iconic motor vehicle ever built and like many people it is the dream car. But is it worth $400K when there are other cars in that price range that will do over 200mph and a 1/4 mile in 10.5? I'm not so sure. Unfortunately the Countach is going to be relegated to collection duties and rarely see the light of day. For me who wants a car I can drive, the money for awesome factor is starting to tip in the favour of more modern supercars.
