Default Advice on Purchasing an incredible model

Last Thursday I went to a local model shop and to my amazement I saw a 1;18 scale miura for sale for 84 euros, it is beautifully detailed with a metal engine. Is it wise to buy this model?I mean i am only 15.

Please give more details.. in 1:18 I have 2 Autoart Miura and 1 Kyosho (SVR) and the three of them are well worth the money. You can't go on with a Miura.. I guess it is an Autoart, Millenium edition, right?

The two Autoart ones:


The Kyosho SVR

It doesn't depend on your age... it depends on the money you have, jeje. It's a great buy. My next objective is the Autoart 996 GT3R, and the second is the Kyosho's Miura SVR Jota.
how much you gonna pay for that GT3R ? i can't remeber wich site but i saw it for only 40€
it was a german site, i know shipmet top belgium is 7€ so spain might be +-12€ ?
i'll try to find that site

well We need not discuss my fiscal situations. It is an autoart. My real question is not whether it;s a good buy or not, it is whether I should spend such an amount on such a model or should i go for something cheaper. Is it a rare model?

It is not THAT rare.. rare models costs much more than that while 80 € is basically a normal price for a good 1:18.

The Millenium line is VERY good quality, marvellous tires, superb interiors and the usual AA details! IMO it is a must have dude.. but of course I don't know you or your collection.. anyway Christmas is close

The Autoart Muira is a beautiful model but 84€ seems a little pricey for it. I only paid $58 for mine.

Then again, I don't know how much Autoart models are selling for in Spain.
