JWC Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 1990 Reatta conv. went for $4900 over the weekend, not sure of the miles but it was a real nice looking car. They didn't have alot to say about the Reatta, slamed it a little but not too bad, so for those of us HOPING our cars will shoot up in value my opinoin is they won't, sorry this is only my opinion from watching some of the other cars that didn't do well when they first came out.

padgett Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 This one ? Looks a lot like the foundling - 16way/CD. No milage or VIN. Looks like a nice driver put cannot see much of seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest steveskyhawk Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Cars similar to this have sold for three times as much in Hemmings. One auction in the rust belt does not determine all prices. I predict that by the middle of 2013 Reatta prices will skyrocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCReatta Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Somebody got a deal. That looks like a very nice car. Regardless of the milage. If the milage is under 100,000, it's worth at least twice someone paid for it. If someone put a new top on, then about 3 times that price. I think once AACA starts allowing Reattas the prices will start going up. So between 2013 and 2017 Reatta prices will double if not triple.

handmedownreatta Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 for those of us HOPING our cars will shoot up in value my opinoin is they won't, sorry this is only my opinion from watching some of the other cars that didn't do well when they first came out. the reatta doesn't seem to appeal to collectors.

NCReatta Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 the reatta doesn't seem to appeal to collectors.Not yet. Once it hits AACA age, it'll go wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 There are two ways the prices could skyrocket and collectibility is only one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Yaros Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Saw that ride auctioned, and did note the price. My response, Reattas share the same fate as Allantes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest steveskyhawk Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 If a Reatta owner believes his car will never be worth anything chances are he is probably correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWC Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 It doesn't matter if I believe my cars will increase in value the fact is they are not a wide spread collectible car, they are only to us and I would not buy in hope of the value going up, I enjoy my Reattas. So believe if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blue72beetle Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Looks identical to mine, except mine has just a bit more wear and tear. And I'll say I paid less than that for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMJAnew Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 As one who tends to buy - not sell. I hope they remain a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
padgett Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hope you have a lot of space. I have the same problem & am out. Even with six vehicles indoors (inc 21 ft Vixen) I really need to dispose of at least one, either the Fiero or the Black 'vert - really three 'verts for a single person is just silly.Maybe both, my current date prefers her Jeep to my "small" cars (interesting that her Jeep and my Reattae are the same length, width, and weight, major difference is that the Jeep is a foot taller) & am now thinking about a GMC "Terrain", Acadia/Enclave are just too heavy).

JWC Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 Padgett we have a total of 8 cars (not all Reatta's) I have enough room to store them all inside and we are still thinking about adding on to our garage to fit more..........just in case, if you have room for a car lift you can store 2 cars in the same space, just put one up and the other under.

padgett Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Problem is that I live in a mid scale neighborhood with sidewalks and covenants (about a mile from Universal Studios). Was hard enough to get approvals for what I had (back garage had to become a "garage-workshop" to comply with code). Would have room for one more if I just throw out all of the junque (mostly NOS junk though).Have looked into lifts several times but anything that could lift the 6,300 lb Vixen is either too big or unaffordable.

Guest steveskyhawk Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 The best storage/workshop deal in the country is renting a small aircraft hangar. I have an old 172 with Reattas parked under its wings. Plenty of room for parts and a workbench, table shelves etc. Best thing is that it is less than a mile from my house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
