Default Staggering asking prices for Bristols

Comment all you want, but used cars are used cars, and generally, the more expensive the original price, the greater the price drop in the first 4 years. When many makes will not bring ten cents American on the dollar, it is a good telling point about perceived value. Of course, to the 'money is no object' crowd, most of us would take full advantage. It is really amusing to go on some of the sites and look at prices. Even more amusing to look at the 'completed listings' and see that they did not sell, or the bidding was very low. I once bought a DB6 Aston that had been listed five years prior, and it was a great deal at the time, only to learn the gentleman would accept the same price when I contacted him. A glorious purchase, and it does happen when the seller 'just doesn't want it anymore'.
