Without a doubt, if you’re in to cars, Barrett Jackson is the place to be. Barrett Jackson Auctions are held in Palm Beach, Las Vegas and Scottsdale annually.
The second annual Las Vegas Auction is scheduled for October 7 – 10 is one of the most anticipated events of the year. After a slight warming up of the economy it will be interesting to see what car values will be. If some of the other Auction houses are a measure of the collector car market, this event is expected to mirror the auction prices paid in early 2008.
What a great place to see some very rare vintage Cobras that have been in hiding for over 40 years. Shelby’s of all types are scheduled to be on the auction block through out the auction and of course it wouldn’t be a Barrett Jackson without hundreds of stock and custom muscle cars.

We have territories that do much better than I expected and we have territories in which they should be doing much better, knowing a little about these markets, the fundamental difference in all cases is the individual developing the territory.

09/03/09: When to have my stock vehicle appraised
Late model stock vehicles for the most part can be valued using the Internet to see the asking price of similar vehicles and numerous value guides can give you a range of values.
Condition, mileage and options are the biggest factors in determining the value of your car. Most value guides say that only 5% of the vehicles available on the open market are actually in excellent condition but 95% of the ads claim the vehicle to be in excellent condition. When it comes to determining what it’s worth, it’s only worth what someone will pay for it.
If you have a rare optioned vehicle, customized or one that truly is in exceptional condition, you need to have you car professionally appraised and insured for the appraised amount. See some of out other Blogs on Agreed and Stated value insurance coverage.
