I believe this latest list is more realistic to what the cars if sold, are going for, and relate to the condition they are in.
The serious buyer that has done his research recognizes the problems possible with the electronics, brakes, and top.
He is looking for the "extra" clean and obviously well garage kept car prferrably from an "original" owner.
History should indicate value, along with maintanance records. Unfortunately these cars came with ten year warranties so a lot of factory work done was not recorded by the usual owriginal owner who when a problem developed just brought the car back to the dealer, accepted a "loaner" and picked it back up when it was fixed. (My car, from an original owner who relied on her memory when she "guessed" work was done.)
You have to gamble here, but also have to read between the lines and check out the interior for abuse, and location where the car spent it's life.
You have a good selection on Craigs, and "E" bay but the super clean car that is causing very few problems in it's history will be found in local advertisements, and somewhere an exceptionally clean car will still sell at a "good" price. (never a profitable one)
Brian Bray's car, sold several years ago comes to mind. An "88" sold at a premium price to someone who recognised the car from the Allante net. Brian got "top" dollar for his car because it was immaculate and he had, and advertised, maintanence records from "day one." Brian did get top dollar so when you add up all his expenses since purchasing the car and the time spent and the modifications performed he probably lost no more than $4,000 on his original investment.

zinzin,

Agreed on all points. I have highlighted the definition of "top $ " .. Yes, they are out there, but those are the rare sales, not the routine. But for a fast price comparison, this link works wonders. IF one sees a high price sale, go and look at the details and see why that is so.

To clarify, the link below will show one every ended sale, including auctions pulled, cars sold and delivered, transactions completed. if you look in the feedback you may see the complaints if any were filed (something that is not always possible). As someone said not long ago, there are a lot, and I mean a lot of sick and abused Allantes on the market. There are also many Allante cars FOR-SALE with bad titles, flood cars, salvaged cars, and a variety of issues that are not disclosed.

It is an absolute minefield that has been made more volatile as the market of the Allante plunged in the past 24 months. People hording cars are suddenly stuck with a expensive inventory that are now wanting to dump and often lie about the condition of the cars in order to recuperate their "investment."

Buying an Allante is risky business .. but the prices are such that the risks are being taken.

My latest acquisition will require about 50% of the purchase price to bring it to a "good" rating. Not excellent, just "good" .. and that is OK .. for me, it is a daily beat around town car. For a "collector minded, is not hard to expect spending a sum equal to the purchase price to bring the car to a show car condition.

Amazing that a lot of the "cheepos" are now being picked up by a completely new market and mainly because they are "cheap."
What I find interesting is that most of the new owners have found the "AllanteNet" and are asking the same questions with the same problems we did years ago!
Actually, nothing seems to have changed except for the price and the owners! ( I think this is a good thing as when the new group discovers the expense of the problems and because the "cheepo" value is worth more at a salvage yard, many more will become available for the parts we will need over the years.)

Stealth,

If you really look at your list of 25 cars - there is actually only 7, many of the listings repeat over and over again (unless you really think that there are 4 '93 Green Allantes in your area for sale with exactly 4,951 miles going for $31,995) There are many, many repeats - the gold in Signal Hill (the worse repeat offender with 10 listings) actually has a couple of different prices, I guess depending on where you looked that day you could get it for $4,977 or $8,977...

There are a lot for sale right now - but, just Googling gives you a ton of duplicate listings - as shown in your example above.

Fox,

In one of the previous posts in this thread, I did make it clear that there were multiple listings for the same cars.

You are a new Allante owner, but if you could compare what we are seeing today with what I saw in 2002, you would fall off the chair in shock.

It took me over 3 months to find a SINGLE Allante in the So CA area and I grabbed it. I wasnt even looking for a Black, I was ready to settle for any year model, any color but I wanted a local sale.

Today, any day, I have a pick of many, all years, all colors, except one. For some odd reason, finding the NU10XXXX '92 Triple Black Hard Top model in So CA eluded me all these years. I had to cross State lines to accomplish that. Maybe that particular model was simply not sold in So Ca. In fact, my new acquisition, was not even sold in the US .. if you remember, MY '92 .. she is Canadian .. with a interesting traveling history ...


===============

zinzin,

Exactly what you are seeing is what is creating a massive Allante parts market. In 2002, no Allante was to be considered a parts car since any car that was not a complete wreck was worth $4k PLUS, more than the value of parts. When we did see one being parted, we were all in grief as if someone had died.

Today, people buy the cars for $1,000 or even less thinking they are going to "FIX" them .. they are quickly hit by reality of the value of parts and next thing that happens is that the car gets parted.

Remember Lee from Las Vegas? His '92 ( or '91) was "totaled" because the insurance company was unable to obtain a GRILL. There was nothing much wrong with his car other than a ding on the edge of the hood. Today, grills are out there, bumpers have gone from $1,800 to $400. Other things have gone the other way, like the headlights, but most parts have stayed at a steady price or declined in value.

YES, expect more and more and more parts cars. Expect the rate to go from 4 per week to 7 maybe 9 per week. At this point and time, the attrition rate is very high, specially for the '88, '91, & '92 models. No, I havent got a clue why.
