Stealth -> the value of parting an Cadillac Allante (6/13/2007 6:21:57 AM)
|
i wrote quoted section in 2003 - since then, the value of the cars have depreciated
substantially, the value of the parts have NOT. several '90 to '92 are now selling in
the $6,000 to $8,000 range; the '87 to '89 are nearing $3,000 or less. Several '93s
are now going for under $10,000..
what i find interesting is that today there are so many more Allantes being parted
on a weekly basis, many more parts are feeding less and less road worthy cars
and people are still bidding the prices to the 2003 levels - the MYTH of parts are
hard to find lives strong..
looking at the list, the hood, tail arrays and the bumpers go for less these days,
the grill & mini-covers for much more.
in the past 12 months i spotted at least 85 different Allantes being parted.
lets say a '87 or '88 blows a trani or has a ABS failure. market value being around
$2,500 to $3,000, trani overhaul is around $1,800, ABS can run close to $1,000.
or a '93 blows a headgasket, repair at $3,500.
what is such a car worth in whole vs in parts?
