Those Corvettes will come with a large dose of depreciation. Plus it seems like the first year Corvettes always have problems. First year? Try every year (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I'll never forget the first time I heard a guy say his FRC roof flew off at a vett meet and someone replied "yeah, that happens" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) You are correct on the depreciation, they drop fast |

our local German collector-broker-exporter-expert says the current $$$ market is strictly interested in "original & numbers matching"
- all else is just a used car - -4 conversions simply can't compete in that collector (non-depreciation?) atmosphere - one might buy a $100K museum resto quality 914-6 and almost never drive it & maybe 10 yrs hence it will be worth original cost (or hopefully more) - so long as there is no economic recession and we aging -6 cult cognoscenti do not check out of the hobby - if we regularly drive it, the elements will take a toll but let's not forget the investment maintenance costs: $$ spent on pristine storage, trailer to transport, & collector-valu insurance etc imho any aircooled 911 is a 'way safer non-depreciation bet |

Perhaps all of it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) - one might buy a $100K museum resto quality 914-6 and almost never drive it & maybe 10 yrs hence it will be worth original cost (or hopefully more) - so long as there is no economic recession and we aging -6 cult cognoscenti do not check out of the hobby - if we regularly drive it, the elements will take a toll but let's not forget the investment maintenance costs: $$ spent on pristine storage, trailer to transport, & collector-valu insurance etc imho any aircooled 911 is a 'way safer non-depreciation bet It's a sad thing to consider the 914 market going this way, which sounds awfully 356 to me, but…I don't think it will go this way. The few original cars might, but they are few and my gut says that, just as there is a market for well-done 912 and 356 (and 911) hot rods, there will be a market for well-done 914 hot rods. These buyers tend to value the parts + labor + condition + time involved to build the car. It isn't 1:1, but it isn't 1:4 anymore, either. This market will almost by definition exclude the "safe advice" set. Which the 914 generally has for, what, 50 years? Mainly, I don't think there is "one market" for the 914 any more than I believe there is "one market" for early 911s or other Porsches. Just my two cents... |
