Noteworthy Cars for Sale [Appreciation Thread]

it’s an epic car, fast even by today’s standards at 4.6s to 60 and only 3500 made. Epic soundtrack. Doubt there is another one that’s just been stored. It’s definitely a future classic.

What did they go for brand new?
I think new they were around £53K. I seem to recall I paid £44K for mine, which was circa 9 months old I think.

They can't even get the ad right for the RS4
£50k for the saloon, £60k for the convertible.

So about 75k adjusted for inflation. Not sure why you'd buy one and store it really.
Depends if it goes to 120K as some are suggesting I guess.
well if it sells for more than £75k there is profit? But I think it’s been sold a bit too soon. If he had kept it for another 10 years then he might have seen a healthily profit.
plus people try and guess the next big ticket classic. Some guy put a XJ220 in storage for 28 years and made £10k less than what It cost new, a loss of £470k accounting for inflation and the guy didn’t even get to drive and enjoy it.

So its a crap investment?
Well people are saying it could make £120k so there would be £45k profit accounting for inflation so 6% per annum profit after inflation so far from being a crap investment.
However the guy that stored the xj220 away for 28 years was indeed a crap investment.

I imagine though that there are insurance costs to take in to account. Possible servicing/maintenance/cleaning costs. It won't have been free to store either.
Can't see this selling easily:
