whats so funny? leaving the japenese car when i dunk 20k+ in it, and cant Sell it for 12K b/c you never get your money out of the car?
and down the road if i keep it the price will keep going up, Unlike the supra, it'll keep going down.
If you want to buy something and have it grow in value then a car (any car) is not - I'll say this again NOT - the correct path. Buy a house, get some property, buy gold or diamonds but do not try to convince yourself that dumping any amount of money into a car is going to make it appreciate. You will NEVER get that money back out of a car unless you are REALLY lucky and find someone really stupid.
Don't believe me?
Take a look on ebay. Ending on Feb 11 is a 67 Mustang Fastback. The seller has already lowered his reserve and the current bidding is at $68,100. Buy it now is only $82,500.
That seems great doesn't it (considering the car brand new was <$10,000.
Read the body of the listing.
"We have over $100,000 in the car at this point SEE list ( I have all reciepts and pictures to back up every thing written."
Hmmm... Even if he got the full buy it now price that still looks like a loss to me.
Don't get me wrong. I love old classic Mustangs - restored. If this choice makes you happy then do it.
But do NOT try to convince us that the reason you are dumping the Supra and going to a Mustang is because the Mustang will appreciate in value.
