Cars aren't investments, they are expenses if you plan on actually driving it.
Investors buy rare cars, stick them in storage for 5 years and then sell them at a profit.
LOL@ a Murcelago being a piece of shit...it's a 200 mph exotic.
Do you have 80K.....CASH to drop on a car ?
there are some people who look at exotics as investments...those that do, stay away from Lambos and Maseratis---they depreciate like a rock. Lambo because it has no real racing history, and because it has a "image problem"---it's the marque for douchebags. Lambo's top man (Mr. Winklemann) has acknowledge this.
Maseratis---well a 2007 Quattroporte tends to go for 127k, when new, a few yr ago you can pick one up for
27k...that is 100k in depreciation. Far more than a Lexus/Beemer/Porsche of the same age. A Lexus is better investment than a Maserati? That's sad.
Some investors do. But, the market is fickle, sometimes a hard run car will garner more than a pristine one. Or one that had that "rusted patina" on it. Depends on the rarity, make and model.
Babyboomers have driven the market up for numbers matching Muscle Cars. And the new "it" cars are e30 BMWs and pristine last gen Supras. Two cars are different spectrums, but prices are spiking for them.
People who have money to throw around and bought a Murci when new, probably have multiple other cars. And when tired of the car, got rid of it, and when the Aventador came out, got that. It's always the newest...
It's not a piece of shit, I was saying only in terms of investment or depreciation.
A car that was 200k+, now worth about 50-80?
And who knows where Pudz lives, and where the car came from.
No, I don't have 80k to drop on a car.
But, I find it funny to assume that just because we see some dude in a high price exotic, that he "has the money", particularly when it's here today, gone tomorrow.
Like a guy who deals with these cars said to me, "We can get you into the car...whether or not you can keep it is one thing."
