There are quite a few Demons that have been for sale for well over a year.
Prices are not budging and the cars are not selling.

BJ just had 4 Demons (Sat/Sun) last week in prime time. 572 here got his money back at 135ishk (no mile VIN#34). 2 of them didn't even make 100k and a Destroyer Gray went 105k. This was at the big BJ show where even Redeyes sold over sticker a year ago!

My conclusion is still the same. $52K makes no sense.

One reason could be the exploding stock market. Investors are moving more money there and away from collector cars. It was the same 10+ yrs ago when Hemi cars and Boss 9s went from $500k down to $150/200k. Now you have new bidders that have made money on Wall St and are looking for investments, but at a cheaper price point. People will still pay for 1 of 1s, but modern cars are artificially shorted. Look at how old sports cards are still valuable and the newer artificially short printed cards have become worthless. Just my long winded .02 cents... lol

Ok guys, the 52k figure was supposedly a typo. Someone actually at the auction said bid went on at 110k. Again no excuses but auction placement is key to getting a decent price for these cars. The individual who bought my 0032 car ended up paying 142.5k with the 10% buyer fee. I do think the Demon glory days are over until the hype about the C8 Corvette and GT500 dies down a bit. At Scottsdale the constant buzz was over the Corvette and what a value it is. Be that true or not paying up for a almost 3 year old car when you can buy the latest and greatest for half the money doesn't make alot of sense to guys who can afford the toys. I think eventually the Demon will start rising value once again, but for now its yesterday's news. And that is truly unfortunate.

The market is adjusting. Still, some will pay anything for something if they're in love with it, but the general market always takes a correction, eventually.

Hands down the japanese have some of the weirdest/coolest TV shows in the world.
