These are not practical Nissans nor economical Toyotas. These are exceptional cars which tug at the heart produced from the very short marriage between two dissimilar car companies each with its unique contribution.
Each day there are fewer. Basic economics states when the demand goes up or is constant and the supply diminishes the values go up. What am I missing?
This may sound hypocritical or self serving from someone with a car offered to the market (but now I doing it secretly on this site only so far) but my reason for selling has nothing to do with future or present value.
Go for it.
If I had the secure storage space I would buy almost every one I could find with under 20,000. The bet beats 1.8% CD's or newer gauranteed to depreciate cars.
My car is very special. It will be special for as long as I own it, which will be until I can't drive it or dont know I own it. That doesn't make it valuable or worth buying it at a price that most people won't or can't pay. Someday I think it truly will be a collectors car and hence more valuable. Im with you, if I had a bigger garage and more money I'd buy a bunch more of these great cars (although it would need to be an SRT ROADSTER). All most of us are saying is it will need to be someone like you or I to command that price, not your average joe. I too hope someone out there will go for this at a the price, but based on the market odds aren't high, at least not in a quick sale. Im off looking at cars again....
