Today there are to many variables involved to gauge the market on just a single reported selling price alone.
Whenever I hear about a Car selling,I pay close attention to who paid that price?..did it sell through a broker,or an auction w/added fees,or even in a driveway?...are they going to drive it frequently and enjoy it,..or store it indefinitely?..are they going to flip it in 10 months,or keep it for 10 years?
How old are they?...where they actual there back when the car was Brand new,with memories of days long ago,or are they simply following the nieve role of "Hey look at Me".
Have they ever turned a wrench on a car previous & do they even know what the actual firing order is?...can they decipher a Cowl Tag or VIN#?
Can they carry their own in a face to face technical conversation,..and do they attend public Carshows?..Do they attend carshows on the lookout for the magazine photographers?
The answer to these questions usually speaks loud & clear about the Buyer & the purchase price he paid.
Maybe not a Litmus test to some,but things that I look at today in this world of "Speculative buyer price" vs. a REAL Enthusiast purchased price.
