Most collectible cars didn't sell well from the start.
The market was "BOOMING" in 04, 05, 06, 07 and the first part of 08---I could sell any car to anyone---banks were giving away money. The sales rate for new cars in 2007 was over 16 million---the highest ever---NOT a market that was falling apart!!! And get this---the dealers during record sales could not sell a Crossfire!!! Please look it up!!! Now---we are just over 10 million pushing 11 million sales rate for new cars.

As for your statement "Most collectible cars didn't sell well from the start" is just wrong---please give examples---Vegaslaw did and so have I---there must be a 'I got to have it" factor which makes sales the first time and the second and the third---not the "mark down" car that the Crossfire was off the lot new.
