Reply to "Its got to be a record sale price for a longchamp"

That sure seems like a pile of money but I don't think it can be considered the new market-correct price for a Longchamp.

Where else in the world could you expect to find a Longchamp GTS in as-new condition? If I had buckets of money sitting idle, I absolutely would have bid that much, and more if needed. What an awesome car and a fantastic addition to someone's collection. The sad part is that the moment some serious miles get added to the car the value will drop, probably substantially. There lies the dichotomy of buying such a car. It's so perfect that you want to savour the experience (long forgotten or not even experienced at all by most of us) of driving a "new" DeTomaso, but then it becomes just another "used" one. Sort of like that 100 mile Pantera that is perpetually for sale, except this car is way more rare and exclusive.
