These are old guys and they tend to like older cars, but their price guides are fairly accurate.
Two W8's sold at a DEA auction recently that may have lowered the numbers for the car. One if I remember correctly only sold for $70,000, did I read about it here.
If I see one sell, I'll post it here.
With only 18 made a pretty rare bird, would make a really good risk to buy at such a low price.

There is one being offered relatively low.... but only because of the stigma in Japan associated with teh W8 being associated with the mob... and the current "owner" being associated with being a crook himself (and the means of him buying the car) Also, that is the ONLY one that "sold" at such a low number.... this is the other white Vector... it is worth about 800-1M in its current condition... and is a steal if you can get the car...
The one that sold into florida recently wen for WAYYYY more. SCM have the vector WAYYYYYY off... none sold at any DEA auction in 2005... there were some oddities in the early 2000's... but none were a good condition car.
Not one high quality vector has gone to auction in a VERY long time.
