I recently paid 2.5 times more for a car than the current market value but it was 98% original with tons of extra NOS parts and paperwork. I always wanted one and since I had the money why not buy it. Something else to consider, some of us would not think much of shelling out over $90k for a loaded 1 ton dually to pull our campers/trailers/boats and an occasional load of rocks yet we hold back on a $50k Chevelle or Camaro because its more than market value. The dually gets a major butt kicking on depeciation and we think nothing of it but still can't come to terms paying a little more than market value on a car that will more than likely appreciate. If it doesn't, who cares? We bought it to drive and enjoy. I lost over $10k on my 54 Belair when I sold it to my brother but I had a ton of fun with it.
