  2. ferraris are very status-oriented sports cars. the typical ferrari is driven under 1000mi per year. in the exotic sports car arena, lambos tend to be driven more. among enthusiasts this is a known point, and lambo owners will mock ferrari owners over this (in good fun usually).

    but back to the bentley auction. i suspect there will be a last second bid to $55000 by someone with 0 feedback. :D you're crazy for not having a reserve price.

    There will not be a shill bid of $55k at the last second. The auction is proceeding as I expected. Most of the action happens the last day (or even the last hour). I expect that the car will sell between $35k-42k. That is about right for this car. The current bid of $32.6k is right on schedule.

  4. Interesting. OTOH, I see Ferraris driven around town all the time (and one guy parks his F430 in the municipal garage every day) but I rarely see the tractor company's products.

  5. you see more ferraris because they've outsold lambo 3:1 in recent years, and before 2004 when the gallardo was introduced, ferrari outsold lambo by more than 8:1. back in 2000, when the diablo was the only model, lambo only sold a few hundred units worldwide while ferrari sold a few thousand.

    around here it's the same thing. i see about 5 ferraris for every lambo on the street.

  6. The Testarossa is a Ferrari.

  7. Wow, you're really sharp... it's the same car, same VIN.

    I don't understand how someone can relist the car after the auction ended with a winning bidder.

    Nice car. But according to the autocheck report you have on eBay the odometer has been rolled back. This fact lowers the value radically.
