I can't comment on Rob's situation as I don't know the story there. The cars I've seen for sale were not full optioned and considering the rather narrow market (less than 600 cars purchased in 12 years) you can't expect to find a buyer next week.

I looked at a lot of cars for almost a year, never finding the "right" one. When I came to the realization that I probably never will, I ordered a new one. What it would have cost me to update any used car I saw to the build I wanted would have cost me more that what I paid for a new one. (if it was even possible)

Kirkham still has yet to raise their prices like Backdraft and Superformance but it's comming. I won't disagree that current economic conditions are resulting in "Toy dumping" but I'm not in that situation myself.

When it comes to the Kirkham you may have a dozen people in the world that: A - Want your build and B - Have the money.
