Where does the smart money go?

[joysterm]

OK,  which one would pick if price was not a consideration?

I would pick the green 71...

I would too.

 

I have seen the tii in person, when it lived in Bremerton.

Small world.

This one, of course.

For lousy 129 Euro / US$167 who wouldn't?

I would pick the green one as well.  I looked at it this morning and for the money and time left on the bidding, it seems like a good buy.  Unless I missed something glaring out at me.

 

I know the guy who built the white one and it's a quality build.  He definitely did it right.  I know the engine bay isn't detailed out like the rest of the car but, he had different plans for it and things changed.  Also knowing everything he did to it, he's not going to be making huge profit off of it.  Looks great though.

Green one! And how is it the price is still that low with and ~2 hours left.

[Danz3]

Green one as well.

That's an interesting question because they are pretty different.  Almost as different as can be.  

 

My answer is based on the reality that I have a tii.  I have Siegelesque tendencies to want to buy more of them, but I don't know why.  What do you do with duplicates of the same car?  I've had that internal dialog.  

 

I love the green one (come on those wheels are brilliant) but I would take the white one simply because I don't have a 2002 Hot Rod.  I would constantly race Eurotrash on the streets of Cincy until we were both jailed.  (not really I drive like a Grandmother).  

 

So white one for me.  Decision doesn't have to do with what I think it would be worth some day; it's more about doing Danco-style peel outs at will.

Or... What about the super clean Bavaria? (shameless plug, it's my car!)

I already have a tii and my heart favors the green one.  However, I have always wanted a white 2002 hot rod with flares.  So, I'm with you, Scott:  the white one, dirty bay and all.  Besides, you, Jason, and I could race all over Cinti.

I guess the shipping costs outweighed the interest on this one

Green #1 for me, because it appears rust free and original.  The photos are great...looks like a car that get's driven a lot.  Second place- white because it would be fun to drive, but maybe not for the long haul.  Golf Tii is hard to pass up, but this one has been riden hard and put away wet.  Prior to inspecting pictures, my order was complete opposite- golf, white, green.   Long term investment-golf Tii #1

There's an argument for each one but as an investment and an appreciate asset, it's the 72 Tii hands down . Let's see where the price goes. ???
