the floor is higher miles, a little more worn, might need a little attention. not a salvage car, but not a perfect one.
I can see possibly 75k for a worn 360 but I can’t ever see a 355 touching 45k ever again unless it’s really beat.
we'll see, my point was just saying there is room to go down, but I doubt we'll hit those floors either.
They could..if the government makes it difficult or inconvenient to own one. Personally I'm not seeing a very bright future beyond our kids. Many are just not interested in the cars..or driving for that matter.. Lots of big collections are being sold off because the families want nothing to do with it. When you grow up around cars..they are not speacial anymore. Some may have sentimental value.
I do agree with a good portion of this post. I think the gear head type kids are almost nonexistent. In the 90’s I was full swing into the Fast and Furious life well before the movie ever came out. Kids today never modify and build motors or have interest in it.
I dunno about the over any Ferrari part (and they are part Ferrari, after all)…but they’re pretty awesome cars. One showed up at a C&C last year near me. It got some attention for sure, and of course most people had no idea what it was.
That car is very generational, and appeals more to the rally crowd. I don't think it's as popular in "normal" circles as it is with car guys. There is one local to me that occasionally makes an appearance. To be honest, it doesn't really attract that much attention over any other vintage exotic..
I agree with that; if you know what it is, you know what it is. Around other vintage exotics, I imagine it wouldn't stand out so much, but at the "normal" C&C I was at it people just didn't know what it was. Plus I'm in NH, in a sea of cars at a C&C there's only a handful of exotic cars.
I have a work mate that just purchased a new Telsa Model 3 for his Wife. Told him to wake up to himself. We live in Outback Australia, 2000kms from the nearest Telsa dealership where he purchased the car from. They have promised him warranty and customer support etc, but we will see how that goes lol.
I would love a car to drive me to work and back home again. It is very possible that it would rekindle my love for driving, if I only got to do recreationally. Fighting traffic is stressful and exhausting. It does have a pretty big effect on you.
Not trying to hijack the value thread, but I have to disagree and give you a ray of hope. I teach HS English and Social Studies. I’m also the faculty moderator of the auto shop club. We meet every other week and I have 28 students on the roster. There are teenagers who want to know how to work on cars.
I hope you are right. Being a mechanic myself for 30 years or so. I see plenty of kids THINKING they want to work on cars. Once they actually work in a real world shop, working on real world cars..they are very quick to leave the Industry and never look back. Out of those 28 kids..I would bet maybe 2 see it through as an actual career choice. It's a really crappy job.
