So, how much do you think a "HO" worth?

...guess again...

At the Sydney Motor Show a HK 327 Monaro went for $220,000
Now this was an imaculate one owner job, but not THAT special.

So half a million for an imaculate Bathurst HO ph3 or one of those phase 4s just HAS to be on the cards.

A few HO's have sold for over the 400,000 mark with another for over 700k (race HO)

Can only speculate what a pahse 1V would go for as one has never changed hands for who knows when

What it comes down to is not what the car is worth, but what the prospective buyer thinks the car is worth. At the end of the day only a small % of the dollars spent buying a car like that is for the car itself. Not sure the best way to put it but i'm hoping someone will come along and half agree with me and put it beter :P. Lets say, the car is worth x dollars, but actually 'owning' the car is worth 4x dollars.
Some year 10 maths there haha.

I think that sort of gets the point i was trying to make across, if anyone thinks they can do it beter feel free to elaborate on my point, or even correct me if ya think i missed the point.

You did get it right.

Basically the market determines the value of the vehicle.

But the purchase price, which may be well over the current market value of the car, really depends on how much someone is prepared to pay for it. Most importantly is getting that right person to notice its for sale and become interested in it.

In other words, it only needs one person to reach the asking price, or two at an auction to reach the reserve and go well over that.

Exactly - so I think we are arguing the same thing. The market (the buyer(s)) determine how much the purchase price is.

So what if someone thinks it is worth X amount. If the buyers will only pay Y amount - the car is worth Y.

An aquaintance of mine has a genuine Phase 111 HO on blocks for the last 16 years in a shed on the family farm. It was bought by his father new and used as the family hack, it's done 250,000 kms and the paint is crazed. His father gave it to him but he's leaving it where it is as superannuation and will restore it and sell it when he retires.

just remember Ho's were worth around $100000 in boom of late 80's then after stock market correction they dropped back to $50000,now they are up there again and have reached unimaginable prices, when we have another crash in world stock markets ,who knows what will happen ,
thats life in our big brown land, markets change all the time.
