It's a driver with 19,000 miles on it - 1400 of which were accumulated at HPDE events. My dealer is aware of my shenanigans.
I asked him what he'd give me for the GT350 in trade. He offered $2K more than I paid for it 3 1/2 years ago.
It would seem this scenario of the elevated values of used cars is a sign of the times, and perhaps not just due to it's own merits of collectability; but if one bought the car with thought that the value of the collectability was going to stay-off depreciation and lend this vehicle to recouping a greater sum of it's purchase cost when something else comes along (aka. a cheap-ride, at least monetarily
) ...........well, I would say, now's the time!
As far as a vehicle from the last decade or so and the value of collectability, along with the other subjects brought forth by others, there is also the subject of 'time'.
Generally, but with a few exceptions, there is a chronological timeline period required for a vehicle to migrate through it's stations of being; from a new car to a used one, then somewhere in this unpretentious state if it manages to survive relatively unscathed and then down the road somewhere in time the populus happens to acquire an interest, and if that fancy proves great enough to outstrip the availability, it may begin to ascend in value. All of this being obvious, but my point is 'time', the time it's going to take for all this to happen; and I think many individuals here might want to look in the mirror and ask yourself: how much more time do I have?
Then of course, whether your investment vehicle even manages to get to that point, as remember the powers to be have a plan for our future which does seem to include these vehicles!
