I did not bother to find the thread but a few years back, I said that the SCM price guide only had the Vector at about $120,000. I was obviously wrong or Vectors have really shot up in value since then. I was wrong as that kind of price increase is unheard of. The DEA auctions of two Vectors probably brought the average way down.
With only 17 made the two that were sold for peanuts at a DEA auction will probably be looked at as the deal of the century.

The DEA auctions were for the M12, not any W8's.
The Purple M12 sold for $88,000... a fairly average price for recent memory.
M12's continue to depreciate
W8's... the price largely is determined by the condition of the said vehicle. Today, two W8's are available for under $400,000. One in Japan, and one in Nor. Cal. The one in Nor Cal. needs some serious work done that may take 6 months to restore; and 80-120k.
Nobody is willing to buy the one in Japan due to the owner re-negging on a sale well over a year after it sold previously.
Additionally, approx 250,000 was the low mark for W8's in the late 90's / early 2000's.
