Instead of ruining the Carrera GT by burying it underground with you in it , you can just get cremated, and put in the glove box.

Another thing that hasn't been mentioned are the availability of good cars with a healthy history. There are factors beyond color, miles, accident history and overall condition. to a discerning buyer, things like how many times the clutch has been replaced, whether it has the factory lift kit, , if it has been tracked, the condition of the front lip, the yellowing of the carbon fiber and recall info all play into the price and perceived value of a particular example. This drastically reduces the availability of desirable cars and their use, which is why you see cars like Auctung's that are the subject of unsolicited offers.

The CGT market is shaping up to look like the F40 market, where there are very large swings between cars.

I put over 5k miles on the car in the 13 months I owned it, 4 year service, 30k miles service and new clutch to boot.

Miles meen nothing to me, its the condition of the car for down the line if I want another.....I likely will. And sales tax is also not a consideration as long as its registered in a state without any

If you'd replace it, just keep it. Unless the offer is for 50k over market.

Good thoughts and you got to have fun and make a profit. I dont see this market coming down easily. As Chris mentioned dollar for dollar the CGT has
held up better then almost any of the cars in its price range and the other supercars such as the Enzo, F40 and F50 continue to be strong compared to their original selling prices as all of these like the CGT were ltd production. Lambos arent even to be involved in this discussion! LOL

I didn't follow your purchase. Did you pay in the 200's? Or is someone paying you 340k-370k for this car?

Just wondering
A 2400 mile GT Silver is listed at $340k and a 6000 mile GT Silver is listed at $280k right now. These after just one checked site

Why isn't your guy going for these Much lower mile versions? I hope you get 350k plus with 13k miles that's a good number. Just thought I'd ask.

$X over what you paid is irrelevant. It's where the offer stands relative to replacement cost.
