not an exotic but a collector's car??

shitbrownMcoupe · 05-22-2010, 02:15 AM

guys, the cars manufactured from 06 to 08, there are limited quantities. it's an aggressive yet classy car. do you think it will be like the 993?
what's your guess on the value of the car in say 10 years?

25000 USD?

that'd be nice! I drive a 07 Coupe, only seen one other one in my NE Georgia area.

My luck with cars, though, tends to run towards the other end. I paid $26K for my 07 with 11.5Kmiles..... I just hope I am not endlessly "under water" with her, though I plan on driving her for many years to come.

Maybe for a really low mile one put away, but not most. 10 years is too short a time frame anyway. The '80's classics are only now being considered something to keep. I say drive it or change it however you like, don't try to predict collector status. I have seen a lot of people try that at Barrett Jackson will limited run 80's or 90'a cars and fail badly.

I didn't buy the car for resale value, but sure would be nice to have and enjoy her for 10 years and still able to have the resale value at 25K.

If it is $25K in 2020, I wouldn't be too excited, as it will probably take $250K to be above the poverty level. You can't imagine what Quantitative Easing is going to do to
devaluing the World's currencies. Gas will probably be $25 gal.

That is if QE is actually occurring (or will occur) and can stay in effect if free markets are (allowed) to be in effect.

Got my brand new 2007 Z4M Roadster in Feb 2008 for CDN$59K on the road (all taxes, delivery, PDI, etc). Including premium package & bluetooth - CDN$20K off the list. So there were decent discounts available in Canada.
