Re: Autavia 3646 Andretti Pricing / $10K to $30K -- ???

This post is great timing because a 3646 is in my near future as well. Thanks!

: The full answer is complex, and I will try to write more later.

: The simple answer is that once upon a time, the nicest Andretti
: might have sold for $25,000 . . . perhaps even $30,000; in this
: same timeframe, we saw the Rindts (Ref 2446) selling a notch
: above these levels.

: What we are seeing now is dealers clinging to the hope that the
: market is still at this level, or perhaps hoping that some buyer
: will come along who does not know any better.

: My estimate of current "fair market value" for a nice,
: unmolested Andretti would be in the $10,000 to $15,000 range.
: But you are correct, that a look at Chrono24 or eBay would have
: you thinking that they might be worth twice this amount.
