For sale on Gumtree - They are getting up there

[Valencia]

Yeah it seems more like serious lookers. You only have one serious buyer, they lay down the money. If it was an auction you might have a couple of serious bidders.
Ultimately, if you don’t hand over the money your nothing but a tyre kicker.
80k is a lot of money for any 40 odd year old car. With a federal election looming and the prospect of losing negative gearing, I feel there could be a check in luxury investments like old cars with a small market. House prices are on the slide already, but who knows, Sandmans might go up further too.
I own my ute because I love it and the value is never going to be the reason for owning it. Otherwise I wouldn’t have kept it for twenty years I guess.

Totally agree

Not sure where they get their pricing from. I know its hard to price some vehicles in this ever rapidly changing car environment world, but I laughed when that green HQ van was offered for sale around the $200,000 price tag. Obviously the owner of that one had the last laugh. Never under estimate the over agar cashed up buyer.

What was the green vans original asking price.?

Yep the prices seem to be all over the place.

[Valencia]

Most of my cars sold word of mouth to many dreamers out there for me to deal with
I have even bought 2 cars unseen from the east and glad i bought them

If you get $80000 for a Sandman, it is probably the worst investment in history really. I doubt they have really held their original value if you factor in inflation. I don’t know what you would have paid for a top of the line V8 Commodore ute last year, but I don’t think it would have been that much less than 80K. When you factor in that about 95% of the 80K in the Sandman went to the restoration.
