Would you pay £175,000.00 for the Ghostbusters Car?

ECTO-1 GHOSTBUSTERS 1959 CADILLAC ambulance STAY PUFT

I think you mean, would you pay that much for that Ghostbusters car?

That’s not the original. Not even the right model.

No, I wouldn’t. That’s nearly $300,000.

Yeah, I wouldn’t either… way too much for my blood… and I’m already noticing some inaccuracies… however, if it was given to me, I wouldn’t complain… LOL!

We’ve been commenting about this in the UK as some of us know the seller. There is no way he is going to get that price for it. However it is a nice looking Ecto.

Bare in mind that the £175k is the starting bid so he is expecting to get more for it. No chance.

No way well he get that, plus it has a crack window, and its been like it for years,she is a beauty tho :slight_smile:

I’d kill for an Ecto just like anyone else but I’d never in my life pay that much for one. I’ve heard the Ecto from Universal Orlando sold smaller than that…

but I’d honestly kill for the giant inflatable Stay Puft it comes with.. I’ve seen them recently online for advertising. I remember Sony using it to promote the game… I’ve been dying to know how much it costs to buy one or rent one. My franchise is doing a small convention in about a year and would be amazing to have with us.

If I had that kinda money I’d buy a house. And even if I had a house I still wouldn’t spend that kinda money on a car.

Looks like it was just a ploy to get publicity and see if he got any offers. From what I kind make out there was no intention to sell. I could be wrong but that’s just how the article on BBC News reads to me.

Yeah, I read the same, he was just trying to get attention…

The BBC article, for those who are curious:

Own one and it’ll try to kill you. Trust me on that one.

Based on Homan’s 2010 attempt to sell it for £60,000 to £70,000 I would say there’s no reasonable expectation to now start asking triple digits, let alone THAT high. You’re probably right that this is just a publicity ploy. I wonder if I should try to out-■■■■■■ him by contacting those same press sources and telling them mine is for sale for only a half million. ( I would but I have to try to sleep at night with a clear conscience. )

My prediction: If he ever sells it the thing will go for £40k-£50k and that’s factoring in how rare it is to even have one outside of North America or Australia. Even with that considered, I can’t see it going for any higher.

Oh I agree. The furthest I’ll ever go is an Ecto conversation on a modern car like many have done. I read the “owning an Ecto” page a lot and realize how it really is… if I had an old caddy, especially as an Ecto I wouldn’t allow it to go anywhere ever other than conventions and car shows

That is a no way for me.
