I'd rather save $25k on 3 or 4.
Maybe so many auctioned at one time kept a lid on. People getting the idea that these cars aren't rare even though nobody ever sees them.
280K (including premium) for a car that was the most produced (white/blue) with 3K miles - thats a really good price. I am surprised the red stripe delete went that cheaply with only 300 miles. Still, it shows these cars are going to half million within a couple of years unless the economy bottoms out.

FWIW, I watched much of the early action, and it seemed that there was a lot less enthusiasm than some of the previous recent Mecum events, and not just on the GT bidding.
I didn't know that. I thought they were reversed. Neither one represents a huge amount no matter what.

As a passing note, after speaking with lots everyday GT owners yesterday...lots of GTs in the 10-20-35,000+ Mileages are looking at their cars worth more in the lower $200Ks (200-210-220K); and thats what they are insuring for.
If you are really looking hard, nice, clean, straight GTs can still be had at that entry price via private owner/local sales.
In 10yrs, 10K miles will be new normal in mileage floor; the value buy is to get a 15K miler and wait for values to climb.
This $250-275K is really in the under 5K mileage realm...and more in the auction, ebay, & big dealer world.

^^^ Agree, except the value buy is to get a 15K miler and drive the hell out of it. The rub is I don't think that there are many cars in that mileage range for sale. Most guys who drive that much won't sell their car. I paid $180k for a 3k miler in June 2012. About to roll over 18k miles. I thought at the time I paid too much, but it was the car I wanted. I thank my lucky stars I got in when I did, because as Sinovac knows, I might be too cheap to spring for $250-$275K today.

The 3400 mile car (#3, lot S172) is actually silver/black. It's really hard to tell from the small photo and hard to tell in the full sized ones (someone corrected my same summary in another forum)
