Listers:
As?some of you know (those who peruse TR6 listings on eBay from time to time),
I have my Tahiti blue '76 on eBay again.? It generally gets up to about
$10-12,000 and then stalls.? I bought the car for $16,000 and have a lot more
money in it, and actually had a local offer of $17,250 several months ago that
I should have taken but did not and the buyer lost interest.? I am now using a
3rd party service to try to sell the car, but I'm not confident that it will
make any difference at this point.? I'm willing to take what I paid for the
car, but not less.
The point of this email is not to complain, but to inquire about 2 things:
1.? Has the vintage car market (or at least the TR6 market) gotten as soft as
it seems to me?? There are 29 cars on eBay right now, many quite nice, with
buy-it-now prices as high as the low 20's.? Is anyone getting good money for a
TR6 at this point?
2.? Assuming that I can't get a good offer, I might consider just storing the
car for 2-3 years and then selling in a stronger market.? However, I really
want to get the car out of my garage to make room for my daily driver, which is
baking in the Florida sun.? Storage in Miami is $300-400/month.? If I were to
put it in a more rural storage place elsewhere in Florida, would it be much
cheaper?? And could I store it in such a way that the car would be in good
shape when I was finally ready to resurrect it?
Thanks as always.
