[QUOTE="stangbear427, post: 4390086, member: 46931"] So... you don't think anyone but a "collector" would be interested in a bone stock 1331 mile Cobra? Interesting. I think it's important to clarify "collector", since WE aren't all the same. Some sip Krytal... some Beringer. Some only sip beer. To let the the richest person in the group speak for everyone even when they are the extreme minority is the most ignorant view of this hobby- and I've said till I'm blue that I'm not trying to argue the dollars and cents of this situation. Purchase price is not the only measure of value here, and it's only an unstable indicator of value at best. Browsing through just the cars we have tabs on in the registry, almost none of them have under 5000 miles. Most, by far, have over 50,000- many have well over. Sure, it [i][b]may[/b][/i] not be worth as much as it's 5,000 mile matching# twin, but it might. And how about a 10,000 mile one? It would be worth more to me- a good chunk more. There is only a finite number of '93 Cobras, what percentage of them- relatively speaking- have under 10,000 bone stock miles? Under 5,000? A car doesn't have to be a Barrett Jackson specimen to still be a collector, far more aren't than are. Saying it isn't a collector worthy car because the numbers don't match is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. It's assinine, and that elitist perspective of the market fails to see that there are hundreds of levels between the top and the bottom, and that's where most of the people who make this market function are living.
