Re: Reggie's ZL! at Barrett Jackson
I don't think Dealers scare people away. I have several customers who will not buy unless they buy from a dealer. I think sometimes a certain car being at a dealership gives people a false sense of security that a car is for sale there and it will always be there if they can't find another one. We all too often get so caught up in the hunt that we overlook the obvious deals. I have looked back many times and scratched my head wondering "why didn't I buy that Black LS6?" or "I guess they didn't ruin the market for that ultra rare one of a kind 67 Shelby!" Bottom line is my Green ZL1 did sell so it was a good deal for myself and the guy who bought it. I could have asked $275,000 for it like every other one out there but I would probably still own it. I've heard the story "well you know it is Green and an auto", to that I say "well you know it is one of only 69 ever built and I can't think of any situation that the color green and an auto trans equate to a $100k deduction." I still believe that the guy who owns that car today is probably a little smarter than alot of us for not passing up such an obvious deal.
