BJ Auctiona Are Out Of Control!

http://www.blueovalnews.com/index.ph..._articleid=471

$600K for new Shelby GT? A car you can go to the dealer and buy for
under $40K. (Please don't wind me up any further with it's serial
#1.) WTF?!? Is BJ drugging these people? Because these people have
not only lost their sense, they're giving away their dollars.

And then, $5.5M for a Cobra?!? Okay, I know it's one of one and the
history and all that, but pay 5.5 million for it?? Is it ever going
to go up in value... I mean who's ever going to pay more for a car
that now is undriveable because of its price tag. You might as well
just bought some '66 Cobra trading card or poster and saved 5,500,999
dollars and then bought a laundry list of other cars you could
actually drive.

A major price correction is coming to these "collector cars" and the
fallout won't be pretty.

Prices are out of control, The holding costs Storage/insurance are
tremondous too

Not only are the car prices out of control but so are the admission
prices. Something like $40 to get in. Yet they are lined up all the
way back to the freeway. It's not much fun anymore.

The list price may be under $40K, but you can't yet find a dealer who
will sell you one for list.

I would not be surprised if Ford canceled production soon for a lack of
sales.

Exactly why it does not bother me that Ford is tanking.

I take you mean lack of sales at inflated prices? If Ford does this I
will never buy another one, ever.

i watched the other night.. BJ was in FL somewhere.. I thought it said to
$200 to bid... so it is $40 JUST to get in?

Yes, lack of sales at inflated prices. Ford dealers seem to like to stick
with their premium and hold out for a sucker to wander into the showroom.

Unless of course ford is allowing open ordering on the lesser shelby
mustang. Then dealers won't be able to hold to the premium because
another dealership in the neighboring town will go for volume to make
their money instead. The inflated price would then only apply to the
first-on-the-block crowd.
