Market commentary

Sold by RM in Arizona a year ago for $110,000, maybe it looked better under the bright Arizona sunshine or in the optimism of the young year's first auctions. It brought what it is worth here in Ft. Lauderdale with 60 more miles on its odometer than it had fourteen months ago, an expensive car to own.
