280z going for over 6,000 on ebay ...

I agree "it is worth what an idividual is willing to pay" and it is beautiful, but for me - it's not that appealing - I like Zs that look like they rolled on the factory floor, that one is a little too personalized for me. 45k - that's alota beans.

"it is worth what an individual is willing to pay"... NOT

I'm willing to pay ten bucks - but that doesn't mean that the car is worth ten bucks.

It is worth what a buyer is willing and able to pay, and a seller is willing to accept.

If this seller believes that the car is worth $40K - he'll have it for a long long time, or until his belief is changed.

I'd guess he will have a very hard time finding anyone willing and able to pay more than $20K.

The buyer of the 77 with 52K miles - most likely made a good purchase and the seller moved the car easily.

FWIW,

Carl, you are right ... I agree 100% with what you say,I just kinda implied the whole "seller must accept" ... anyone can offer a number and anyone can demand a number, but it's going to take two to tango and agree on the dance.

That was a pretty easy one to figure out Carl.
