It is, however, a high result for a late-model 280C. And I think that this car fully deserves the result. Condition is off the charts and one of the best I have ever seen. Colors are superb. And the biggest issue, those darn bumpers, has been addressed.\n\nWhile the bidding strategy clearly could be discussed (kudos for putting a bid in based on what the car is worth to the high bidder), I call the result market correct. And relatively speaking, a total bargain in my opinion: Where else do you find such an elegant grand tourer with stellar design and bullet proof mechanicals? \n\n@Swallowed_Hook - If you find them in the same condition anywhere for $10k (Check out pricing in Europe to get a sense how popular they are), please buy me 5 ...", "likes": 8, "timestamp": 1602190103, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 5164484, "authorName": "Eastend87", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/eastend87/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Whoever thinks this is a $10k car does not understand the current market. $22k is a fair price for a near-perfect 280C (which is a model that is starting to come into its own).
