The recession seems to be biting at all levels

I can't resist browsing the race car and race parts web sites thrice daily, and one thing I have noticed of late is a glut of very expensive toys coming up for sale. Not necessarily at must sell NOW prices, but ads giving a sense that something luxurious may have to go to release funds for more basic needs. "Let's see how much interest there is out there at daft money first?", type ads. For example:

If I ever have near a million to spend it wouldn't go on a road car, that's for certain :) There are definitely signs of people wanting to unload exotica right now though, which is worrying. If people who can afford to buy outright, or get finance for such things, are struggling, then the likes of myself feel vulnerable, for sure.

Urm, Na

 

Yeah, I'd rather have the Enzo. Chaved-up Lambos don't do it for me. In fact, Lambos in general don't tickle my pickle. The Enzo would just sit in my garage appreciating like hell anyway. I wouldn't drive it. Might turn it on a few times though just to hear it growl.

Yeah, a patient is trying to sell his 575 Maranello for what seems like similar reasons. Owned 7 years, driven 15k miles.

Oh to have those problems...
