$4.6M!!! jeez! and i bet the guy who bought it is jus gonna put it in a glass case where it will stay for the rest of it's life. what a waste.

[black_magician]

hmm...waste, IMO

I would have bought something... nice.
like a Koenigsegg or a CGT

hell .. for 4.6M, buy two of both! :)

[T-Bird]

it's an investment and think about it if the guy spent that much money on the car which is probably worth that much if not more, he has a bitch load of money and many other cars I would guess. Hell maybe it was Jay Leno who bought the car since they didn't disclose the bidder's name.

[bmagni]

[oscargarza88]

[Ford Capri 2.8i]

I wouldnt buy this model either.....but if somebody is able to pay the 4.6M, the car costs this price.........thats the point

[5vz-fe]

Let's see...for 4.6mil, I will get a Porsche GT3, a E60 M5, a Range Rover, a nice decent house, a yacht and put the rest in a bank

[nthfinity]

well, some poor bloke has to buy it... perhaps it is an auto historian... who happens to be filthy stinking rich :roll:

[twboy1999]

how is 4.6million at an auction a record

we all seen the video of the american guy who at barret jackson who bough a 1957 ferrari something for 6. somethign million dollar

[T-Bird]

it was a record at that auction specificaly

[tigerx]

lol could be the sultan of brunei.

[Sachmo12345]

for 4.6 million you could get a dozen super cars and a garage to house them all now thats not a waste of money

[bradleykylenelson]

some people have far too much money

[chipanggo]

wow. that is a lot of money. :twisted:

[davidoff]

people don`t buy these cars to drive the they are an investment

[BADMIHAI]

people don`t buy these cars to drive the they are an investment

And we thought they take them to track days. :roll:

250 GTO (Ferrari, that is, for newbies) - original you cannot get cheaper than 5 million £ (yes, £ and not $).

[mit5005]

You guys gotta stop sayin its a waste of money. 4.6 mil is probably chump change to the guy who bought it. Otherwise that money would probably just be sittin in a bank somewhere. If that is how the man enjoys life, then let him be.

[tifneedle208]

Its so....weird looking....

[Toronto]

250 GTO mmmmm love it, i think it has the record 14mill or somting?

[SFDMALEX]

Yep. You guys should see what 250GTOs go for. I head 20mil once. Dont know if its true. It said that a famous racer drove it at MM or TF or something.

[bobafett]

Highest price ever paid for a car is for a 250 GTO. Swiss broker had the deal sealed to a japanese buyer for 27MM, so he bought it for 22. Deal fell through, and he was stuck with the car.

The car is now in a local collector's hands (here in the bay area - friend of a friend), who paid $4MM.

the 250GTO is the holy grail of collectors...do not expect to find one under 10 these days. It's not 1989 again, but with the currency fluctuations going on, there's a strong market emerging and cars are leaving the US... of course, we won't see the likes of the 89 japanese collectors again, IMO.
