Guys.

If it belonged to you, wouldn’t you want be get as much as you could for car?

Also, no matter what each of us think about this car. It’s only original once!

There’s an ass for every seat.

None of us knows what the bidders are thinking, or might be planning on using the car for.

WHN,

I would add that none of us knows how much money the bidders have or what they intend to do with the car, either.

If you have a lot of money and you want to drive and enjoy it, it's easier to buy something you like regardless of the price. On the other hand, if you see it as an investment or if you want to flip it, you will be more conserned about the price.

While I'm new to the Model A game, isn't 17K for a car in that condition a little over priced?

Then I wil need new tires at 1200 bucks.

Have to rechromw everything, hmmm 2K?

Then them brakes, welllll another 2K.

Then who knows what the drive train and engine is like.

Maybe it is best the seller gives me 15K and i take it away for free......

Sometimes it makes me puke how you guys pick on everything that someone else owns.

This is the most original Model A standard roadster I have seen ever.


'most original' ever seen. But, IMV after seeing/reading details...NOT original in number of respects. Yeah, enough dirt and wear to original condition to bring out, as some describe as, stupid money !


I know where same model exists hidden away...that is same appearing / visual condition....except IS original and runs beautifully ! Sure hope he sees 'things' my way, someday before passing. He has owned forever as second owner !

Yes, I've seen very nice original Model A's sell for half that amount.
Maybe the high price will raise the value of mine.
