Another Auto Art Mach thread - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

doubleg · 11-03-2011, 12:19 PM

I FINALLY found an 03 TR Auto Art Mach1, and had to pay a pretty decent price for it to because of the rarity of it. One of these days I will find the white one I really want (even though I have a TR 03), but anyway....

This is where I need your guys opinions... Should I put it back on Ebay, and if I should what would be a good price? Im sure I could probably make a couple bucks off of it because of the rarity, or....

Should I go with my original plan of.. showing my car (maybe once or twice a year at the local church car shows) while keeping it and setting it on the shaker for that little extra touch. - One problem with that is im almost afraid someone would steal it if I wasnt sitting there watching the car all the time. Things like that have happened before to people I know, so im kind of leary.

I can always use the extra money though as well. So im kind of torn.
What do you guys think?

Thanks

Signed? No it just new in the box.

lol my bad man, I thought you mean a real car. I know some guys have found signatures of their cars. The guy I got my car from gave me a large diecast TR model.

Well you didn't say you got a deal on it, so gotta figure is the money you could make worth your time and effort. Personally I always thought having a model copy of the car you actually own, on or in the car, could best be described as... cute. I never understood it.

Us Northern Mach owners need to play with our Di-cast Mach's to get us through the winter.

I just saw that Sears.com had the TRs for $59.00... After I paid $90. Sucks.

No way.. They have been out of circulation for years. Can you post up the link?

These are rare? I have one collecting dust in the box in my garage shelf somewhere.

Yep the TR, Oxford White, and Azure Blue ones are. All the other colors can be obtained pretty easily. If you have a white or a blue one and want to part with it, let me know. I would like to have either color.

Thanks

The only upside to our winter is the chance to tear the cars apart and make it faster for spring.

Azure Blue is only one price: expensive. The white and red can be found cheap or expensive. I've seen the red go for as cheap as $45 afew months ago, or $175 about a year or so ago. Same with the white. Seen them sell for cheap, and one guy on this site paid like $230 for his white one a month or so ago.

rcode99 · 11-03-2011, 08:32 PM

You are right. Sears no longer has the red. I recently paid $150 for a used, not quite perfect Azure Blue. The guy I bought the Mach from still has a new one in the box but he won't part with it.
