Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

They call it investment, I call it speculation. Has nothing to do with passion.

[Lord_Kratos]

Obviously none of them worth more than 300 000€
Exslusivity, brand, history, design, Power and popularity makes price much higher for no reason

Are we supposed to add up the sales prices of all these vehicles to reach the $256 million you promised for a single car?

[trwsandford]

The silly money paid for these cars is proof that some people are closer to the money printing faucet than others.

130 + millions $ for a car. I am speechless.

[joachimriegel]

My favorite super car is clearly the FERRARI 250 GTO ... but veeery closeee to the no1 winner of most expensive auction sold cars ... MERCEDES 300 SLR UHLENHAUT ... both of these vintage hyper sport cars haven't lost any of their unique phantastic aesthetic charisma during the whole last 6 decades

My sad story is I seen one of the 300 SL Gullwing cp. in a used car lot. I pulled in and when a salesman came I asked him how much, he told me he would take a $1000.00 and my XK140 drophead cp in trade. No I didn't take the deal. I was lucky to have two nickels to rub together to make a dime.
