The Hazard of buying an Enthusiast Auto group Car (not an EAG hate thread)
From everything I have seen and read, EAG tends to sell excellent cars at a price premium. Regardless of the ire they tend to stir up when they scoop an enthusiast on a great deal and then mark it up, their are cars are generally great specimens with up to date maintenance and very good condition.
What I see as the hazard is for buyers that don't keep cars long (two years or less) or for someone that has to get out of a car for financial reasons, you will probably not recoup your money. A couple of cases in point are two cars listed in our for sale forum right now. Both were sold by EAG for around $18k+ within the last two years, both sellers started they're ads around the same price but have had to quickly reduce price (one almost $4k) to get any interest and are still not sold.
It seems to me if you want a beautiful needs nothing car and don't want to have to bother getting it up snuff, EAG can be a great thing, but while they command a premium when buying from them, that premium doesn't seem to carry over for the seller one or two years down the road. So unless your keeping it for the long haul - buyer beware!
