To ship the car, especially at this time of year is into 4 figures and then there is the auction house fees which cut into the final sale price. So is it worth trying to go that route to “establish” a value or just move the car for what you can get if you don’t want to hang on for years until someone decides you do have a nice car?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> zmagnette-bounces@autox.team.net [mailto:zmagnette-bounces@autox.team.net] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Steve Hanegan<br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, January 12, 2014 3:24 PM<br><b>To:</b> List for the Z Magnette Group - North America<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Zmagnette] Fwd: 1958 MG Magnet 20000<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This is a pretty good looking car! Concours? Show Winner? Probably not, but if it drives as well as it looks, it certainly represents a good deal for the buyer. You certainly could not build one like this for this price, even if you are starting with a good solid car. I question whether there is a market that will step in and buy a car like this at this price. I am at a loss on how we as Magnette owners can create a market for good clean cars like this one. A Mk II Jag in this condition would have no problem reaching $30K - $35K at auction because of the reputation and mystique of Jaguar, though these prices have remained pretty constant over the past 10 years or so. Though it lacks the torquey 6 and top notch brakes of the Jag, the Magnette is still a very solid car with better than average handling characteristics and a very posh and cozy interior. I would speculate that having a few more "finished" cars sell, and perhaps, sell at one of the more prominent Auctions such as Barret Jackson, would increase the public awareness and demand for our cars. Without demand, there really isn't any value, and demand can't be built on $2K projects.<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>I am guessing that a few more of us are going to need to sell our cars - holding out for prices like this one or higher - before the market will come up far enough to make this more of a typical value.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Steve H.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Jan 12, 2014, at 10:54 AM, John Marcell <<a href="mailto:MG1948@verizon.net">MG1948@verizon.net</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><blockquote style='margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><div><p class=MsoNormal>Good car, good price if you cant do the work yourself.
