The GPB 125.000 Pagoda - is it worth it?

[mbzman]

In my opinion,If you do a color change and do it right it shouldnt affect the value that much,,,,,Low mileage doesnt always mean the car is worth more..COndition matters also..
You can buy a car with 10,000 orig miles but if it sat in the drive way for ever it prob needs to be completely restored...Ive seen pagodas with 350,000 miles that look better than ones with 50,000 miles..depends on how they have been taken care of..

Guanos? Isn't that manure made from birdsh*t? :-)
Hope I didn't offend you, but I'll still be looking forward to seeing the photos of your car...

Best regards

No worries, my iPhone does the same thing when I text (see the worst cases here: http://damnyouautocorrect.com/).
Your car looks VERY nice!

BTW - took a look at your photographers website, he's very good - funny thing is that I'm currently translating a few ads for the Portuguese Tourism Board via Leo Burnett Lissabon and some of the photos resemble his style. Must be a great country to drive a Pagoda around :-)

ULF, the  General director of LEO Burnett, PORTUGAL is one of my best friends. His name is also Miguel.

Thanks Peter

It's a small world - especially when you're in advertising. Unfortunately Leo Burnett Copenhagen has been split into two fragments along with Publicis, but I'm managing to hold on to most of my old clients and the work that comes through the network - for instance the mentioned campaign from Portugal (tell your friend that your Pagoda should be in the next one!). Love the photo in your other thread, keep 'em coming, it's always nice to have something to aim for in terms of visual perfection :-)

But a fool with s***loads of money and a very, very nice car ;-)

I don't know why so many people appear to believe this for Pagodas.
Ask any buyer if given two identical cars, but one is number matching, which would they prefer, and the answer will be the numbers matching car.
If this is true, which I believe it is, then it shows the numbers matching car has more value. I don't understand why people believe Pagodas are different than Porsches or Corvettes or any other car.
How much of a difference in value is difficult to say and will change over time and certainly depends on the specific car. It will matter more on a $70K car than a $15k car.

For me it makes all the difference, but it is just me.
