DAF YA 126 - Selling Prices
Geplaatst: do 26 okt 2023 14:48
Hi guys,
Excuse me for posting in English, but I don't know Dutch. My questions in the end.
I have bought a DAF YA 126 as an investment, but mainly because I took a look at it and was in love.
As an investment, it was intended that when I would sell it it would be more valuable and that is how I still think.
Knowing the prices that were asked, I knowingly chose to buy it for the asked price (without arguing it) that was €25k.
Currently I won't sell it for less than €200k -€300k that I think is its real value.
I have other classic cars and usually I buy with an eye on the future and the possible profit. If not sold by me it will be by my son or grandson and it has to be something that increases in value. As an example, I bought a rebuilt Defender 9 seats when the prices were around €20k to €40k and the month after prices jumped and have been high since then. You can't buy it now (with 9 seats and rebuilt as this one) for less than €120k and I had plenty of random guys in the street wanting to buy and making offers. Another example is a Ford Taunus 17M (P5) that I bought for €700 and is now sold at €15K to 25k.
I think the owners of DAF YA 126 are giving away the cars and I can't understand why it is?!!!
If this remains at current prices, I will probably end up buying a few more, but it blows my mind, really!...
The DAF YA 126 is a rare classic car. They are almost 70 years old and they were what one could consider a limited edition (model by model and year by year). Some models are less than 600 units!
It is a car that has plenty seats and pays no yearly tax (as a classic), doesn't require a seat-belt and is driven with normal driving licences.
It is sexy as hell. It is rare.
How is it possible that you guys are losing millions, selling it at the current prices??!! Really unbelievable! It is the price of a TV set or less in case of some units...
Sorry for my outburst but that is my question:
- How are the owners of the DAF YA 126 giving the cars away? Don't they like money?
Thanks and cheers from Portugal!
