I mean honestly, its probably the owners car...

yeah right. There are thousands of people as talented as them... They just played the right fiddles.

Their money isn’t off their talent, its off a team of people who orient the right image, placement, messages.... They are just the figureheads... like a CEO!

I don’t want to say they don’t have talent, but Taylor Swift…

I am deathly afraid to buy a car from a plant once closures are announced.

All you good employees leave for other jobs. The rest of the employees know they can’t even get fired, so have zero incentive not to do an absolutely awful job. They are probably drunk because they know unemployment is a stone throw away, or…

It could at least be a fun game!

Here’s one for $19,987. A little high mileage for a collector, but I do love yellow cars..

Actually we did some very minor things to it, put in maybe 10-15k at most.

They seriously had it listed at 400k, and it was worth that much, but they weren’t getting traction. I’m not totally sure besides the fact it needed to get cleaned up a bit. The owner died and it was in possession of his heirs. We low balled it…

Most of the US is the same way.

My parents are canadians and I don’t notice any difference between filling up in US and canada except in Canada it costs way more...

I already have no qualms about cutting off teslas in traffic because I know they will stop for me and not hit me.

How long until we just walk in front of cars because we know they will stop?

Well, if it takes 5 cars because each one burns down within 200k miles, getting replaced by insurance... does that count or not?

I picked the 430/360 because they are cheap and easy to repair on the fly. IE- most repairs can even be done by Maserati dealerships, and parts aren’t hard to come by. In addition, they are proven to get into the 100s without too much trouble, which makes it a stretch but a stretch within reason. 

458's start getting…

Risk is a sliding scale.
CDs- Very Low Risk, Very Low Return
S&P 500- low risk, low return
Individual stocks- Higher risk, higher return potential
Buying companies- Very high risk, Very High return.

I’m not sure where buying cars as an asset falls. If you know the market well enough your personal risk is less than the…

I don’t mind the F1. I don’t totally get the hate. As long as its in sport mode and you shift it yourself..

I mean I’d rather have a stick, but the F1 is not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. 

A lot of these guys have been doing it 40+ years and make millions. They don’t just have 5-15 vehicles, they have 5-15 of EACH of the vehicles they collect in massive warehouses.

The problem with the S&P 500 fund is its boring and you dont get to drive it.

I can’t call any investing strategy “dumb” that generates…

I’m torn.

I’m in the trading circles, and a lot of those guys buy cars for investing.

But they don’t buy A viper and sit on it 10 years.

They buy 15 vipers when they hit $22k, and then sell 5 of them when they hit 30k, 5 more when they hit 35k, 3 more at 40k, and they sit on one.

That also means there’s one or two they…

I’m one of those guys who has paid over msrp to get a new car the day it drops.

No regrets either... but if there’s enough of us out there, they won’t discount for you!

Affordable Cars that will likely appreciate soon:

-Manual Transmission Maserati Coupes and Spyders
-Tesla Roadsters
-V12 Jaguar XJs
-80s Camaros and Pontiacs
-C3/C4 Corvettes


But honestly the best thing you can do instead of worrying about appreciation, is buy cheap. You go buy a good quality Bentley Continental GTS for…

Ferrari 360 or 430.

I sure as heck don’t think it would ever make it, but I would get an incredible amount of joy in trying... and it might be the first time mileage appreciated the value of a car like that too. 

How do they make money? They have to be stealing your info or something right? I’m always disturbed by companies who spend millions of dollars to give you something “free”.

In 2008, the SAR dropped to only 13.2m new cars. That was a huge drop- don’t get me wrong, but there were still 13.2m new cars sold, compared to the 16.7m sold the years previous.

So yes, there is a decline in new car sales, but the “hit” on new cars is disproportionately towards the high end of the market, as new…

I’m an analyst for the industry as well and actually work for one of the largest players. This is my job too :) Of course every analyst has their own opinions, but in my opinion, I think the sedanapocalypse is actually at its peak. I think the sedan death plague will decline, but the exit of the market for companies…
