Ummm, is it a crime to make money? After all, Tim is in the business. Sounds like he made a good buy, and being a facr 505/car in a rare/odd color. I would think he'll get a premium on the resale, how much of a premium I don't think is really anybodies business.. unless of course you're the purchaser.
I sure as hell mad money on my 87 930s when I sold it! The guy had to have it and I really didn't want to part with it at the time.. he gave me a ridiculous number and I asked "if he wanted gift wrapped?"
Same thing happened with a beautiful 840Ci BMW I had. The wife of a friend fell in love with the car while visiting. They asked to buy it, I quoted an unreal number for that car. They returned to GA, I got a Christmas card from them with a check for half & a note that stated that I'd get the balance and a plane ticket home whenever I decide to drive the car down!
I admitted to them that the price quoted was too much, and had been quoted to discourage them. I even offered to find them a similar car at a better price. They wanted my car "because they knew it had been lovingly cared for" and they liked the additional goodies I had installed (Racing dynamics aero kit). Needless to say I had a fun last ride in the car to Georgia.
I agree with Jay H. I think this car would make an excellent concours candidate..odd cars do catch the eye.
