This is in response to the posting below by Amphi-seeker Tom: Suggest you
see the Club Classifieds at
http://www.amphicar.com/ads.htm , especially the
link there to Mike Israel's "Amphicar Buyers FAQ". There are normally at
least one or two Amphicars for sale in the Classifieds, though we did go for
a couple-few days recently with none for sale (Hey, it's the end of the
sailing season, so what do you expect?...All the good ones are busy in the
water!), but last night I added a brand new ad to the Classifieds for what
sounds like i could be a REALLY REALLY nice one, with a few scanned picures
to follow as soon as I get the shots in the mail. At $32,500 it's a little
pricier than most, sure, but you get what you pay for most times (And this
one's only got 620 miles on the clock...That's no typo).
Bottom line: Anyone expecting to get a "do-able" Amphi nowadays for lunch
money is living in a dream world and is just wasting their and everyone
else's time. Nowadays you can expect to pay at least $12,000 for any Amphi
that can get back out of the water without the help of a crane or dredger.
With that said, the Amphi market is a bit like that for motorcycles in that
prices do tend to dip a bit and selection broaden considerably in the winter
months.
