The amount of cars flooding into BaT lately is staggering. People are wetting their pants and unloading. I've noticed quite a few flips that are selling for $10-20k less than what they bought it for on BaT, paid the buyers premium, sticking it on a truck, change the oil and flipperoo. These are for cars that a reasonable amount of cars were built not rarities (E class and above AMG's). Of course there are plenty of AMGTards who think that 10k cars a model year is a small amount. 993/964's are still holding reasonably tight valuation wise. Boxsters/Caymans/Cayennes/Secondary Ferrari's (308-Mondial-456) are getting pummeled relative to 10 months ago. Three years ago you could pick up a 2000-02 Boxster with a few niggles for $8k, early last year they were $20k, now $10-12k~. Crazy...
Wait four-five more months. I cannot time this shit like anything else. However, the used car sale cycle is decidedly predictable.
Invictus, By William Ernest Henley
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
