The Best Supercar Collection I Couldn’t Buy

  • From January to February 2018 I pursued an incredible Supercar Collection. Flying to California twice, spending hundreds of hours researching cars and days negotiating a deal. A Porsche 959, Jaguar XJ220, BMW M1, Bugatti EB110GT and many more... Here is my depressing story of what happened.

    Had this happen to me so many times over the years selling exotic cars here in the Austin area for a decade. It really is gut wrenching to work with a client, build a relationship, come to an agreement then at the last minute they pull out for no real logical reason

    Im just gonna go ahead and say, despite situations like this, you definitely have what i personally would consider a dream job. How amazing it would be to pay your bills in this manner. Wow i think i love you

    That's a rough deal after shaking a mans hand but he must of been torn himself on what they meant to him, gut instinct doesn't just tell you when you're hungry...
    Great stories John it would be good to hear more, a personal favourite of mine is from Vinwiki about the Miura that went to John Todt and I'd really like to hear you elaborate more on that one and anything else.
    Stay safe folks 🙏

    Hey dude, very cool of you to be able to talk about the deals that didn't happen, or things that you might consider to be failures on your way to success. Love all the videos and keep the content coming! Cheers

    Great story with a great collection of cars. Unfortunate that the deal fell apart but I’m sure it left capital available to go on to buy some other really special cars.

    There are 3 aspects of contract law: offer, acceptance & compensation.
    You made an offer, the seller accepted it. You can sue for breech of contract to recover some of your costs.
    Ask me how I know.

    Don't get me wrong ; I have a passion for cars (otherways "I'll would look not into your channel") You sir Temerian can read a telephone book and make it sound like a poem . Thanks to your efforts on you tube (i steal with my eyes) i was able to now own a humble Porsche Boxster 986 2.5 1999 . Quite similar story's and chase for a less budget car with the same passion .

    I had a cousin do me that same way! I really l9ved her and never seen her leaving me but up and out of the blue she left me and used the classic saying, "it's not you, it's me" then2 weeks later I found out she had been seeing my brother for over a month and that they were gonna get married in the spring! It hurt me really bad, and I've not talked to either of them since then, which was 3 years ago! She ended up not marrying my brother; she left him also! Like I said, I haven't talked to her since, and I told my dad I will never call her mom or step mom so he can forget it!

    Hey, Your'e a nice guy John, that guy sounded like a snake and probably used you to ascertain the value of his collection so he could embark on a gradual sell off one by one.

    • @jseriesjay
      @jseriesjay 3 роки тому +2

      Joke's on him since he paid the auction houses' commission/brokering fees for selling with them, and they hammered for even less than what John offered. I feel that's the cost of hesitation in the automotive world since cars of that magnitude have no set price point. At least he made a better margin than selling something like a resto-modded Chevelle at Mecum.

    Same old story: he sees financial trouble or need funding, tries to sell the collection to be able to keep his lavish lifestyle, then for whatever reason the problem is gone and they cancel the deal. They don't give a fuck for the time and money you wasted because they are that kind of people
