Default Re: $176,000 for XY GT at Shannons Auctions

What a nugget......yeah the market is crazy again and been so for 12 or 18 months.

Nor going to **** can this car but it is not a $176K car, only problem for anyone entering the XY GT market it is the new bench mark and the next POS to hit the market will be north of $180K

What did the Nationals wining Quicksilver car in Melbourne sell for? Surely not much more than this?

That didn't take long...

I guess we will see a lot of XY GTs hitting the market now, I have not seen too many lately, but now given the price surge and current bench marks for sales, I expect a few to start hitting the market.

PS. The car advertised does not seem to be a POS...looks real nice TBH.

to put the whole thing in perspective, the vfire xygt that featured in survivor car #1 and blew many people away at the last nationals, didn't cost the current owner this much. ok it was maybe 3 to 4 yrs ago? however economically the doom and gloom is worse now then it was then....does that mean fp's car is now worth 10 times the yellow ochre because it is 100 times better than the yellow ochre car can be? I think with the sudden presentation of a number of high quality cars on the market which have since sold, its like a frenzy has started all over again...time will tell

A mate has a 1970 Vermillion Fire black Trim XY GT 4 speed he is considering selling.

Similar condition to the one listed for 240k.

Still the colour to have. Like everything..colour is key.

Geeze..................id have to think twice about letting our 71 vermillion GT go for that sort of coin. I was offered 200k for it during the boom but held onto it.

I'm sure there are plenty thinking now...good time to sell, I should have waited 18 month before flogging off mine.

Selling a GT is like day trading shares....
