Er...me. Thanks to the US tax code, there are benefits. That said, just sold one of the two we had bought new...the truck, ca. March 2022...and actually recouped every penny except the cost of insurance (and operating, i.e. gas and oil/filter from one change) over that time. However, I think that's my last new car purchase...as I don't want to have to pay a subscription fee to run my windshield wipers. But having two 4200s in the drive does make me keenly interested in this topic (see how I tied it back so as not to upset the pedantic?)...
The US economy is in very different shape to the UK. Classic car and supercar prices are very strong in the US. Very different to our situation

Generally, yes...but I think this marque gets more respect there than here.

This is a stunning looking car in a stunning colour in Den's part of the world.
These are bargains in the States.

I'm following that too (for fun), and can't help but notice that the seller is not very helpful. (not saying I don't understand some of his points, mind you)
This tends to have a big impact on selling prices on BaT...

Yeah...I am watching this one, too. Also tracking a couple of GTs and QPs on that site at the moment. Looks like (if this trend is sustainable), the GranTurismo market here has bottomed and is starting to turn back up. Really want to find a well-specced QPV this year, if I can. @philw696 ...they are like potato chips!

Yeah, I think on there the seller needs to have a recent receipt for clutch life or new clutch otherwise people expect the worse. Someone comes up with "I knew someone who had one and the clutch only lasted 10K miles" don't help.

That looks a nice car Nayf. Strange times that at £7K-£9k guide price and a beige RS2000 with a guide price of £26K-£30k.
More people aspired/aspire to have one, simple as that.
Supply & demand.
