[MBZ] I don't get this

Guy buys a new Ferrari on 2001 for $176k, drives it 1000 miles in 18 
years, sits in a "private collection," now selling it.


Cars like that need to be driven not parked in a garage.

Re: [MBZ] I don't get this

2019-02-06 Thread Clay Monroe via Mercedes
There was discussion of this in a recent Sports Car Market mag (12/18) about 
investment vs. enjoyment of supercars.  My take away was that a real car lover 
drives his vehicle and extracts maximum enjoyment in use of the tool, with the 
tool will just plop down a stack of cash and store away the investment until he 
tires of having it around, or acquired it for the sole purpose of flipping it 
for a quick buck.  There are many example of flippers who paid at the peak of 
the market and now being stuck with something with diminished valuation because 
the poor car keeps being shopped around to auction after auction with no sales, 
and either came off BaT or ends up on BaT.
