Reminds me of the car I used to own, with the exception of the dirty interior and the cloth seats.
Definitelynot super clean though.
Too bad. If the engine bay looks like the interior, he might get $4-5K for it. Exterior is worthy though.
the return of FIAT into the US could mean raising the price bar
...bringing in a high price can be considered a trend. We have been looking at this question for well over a year now. Maybe 3 or 4 cars have sold for $4000 or more...Bob Browns trailer queen being one of them (WELL deserved).
The average selling price (not asking price) would have to move up considerably before any sort of trend on X1/9's value appreciating could be rendered. I really don't see much change in the last 10 years, or more. You can still buy a running X1/9 for $1000, just like you could back then. The overwhelming majority of these cars still range from $750-$3500.
Will the prices for the older 500's start to go down now that the new ones are here? There has to be at least a good percentage of Fiat enthusiasts that will now buy a new Fiat instead of help driving the prices of the remaining older nice cars upwards.
The fact that someone paid it only means it was worth that much to them.
:excited:
Now for the real question. Do you guys actually want to SEE this car sell for that money, or are you content to have the status quo of current values?
As for buying a cheap X by the time its fully sorted and painted that cheap car is not so cheap. Plus its just putting lipstick on a pig.
We all know how difficult it is to find a rust free, really nice X.
For the life of my I can't understand why many X owners bash the value of our cars.
.... I have poured over $10,000 into personal X1/9s KNOWING I would never get half that money back. What they are worth to the owner is completely different than market value.
