Well, I guess we now know why you buy your cars. Freudian slip there? I already said why I get the cars I do, and now you've said why you get yours.

Celt....I can tell your wits are exhausted by your last post. You can have the last word. Please...edify me. Leave me with something truly profound.

PACETTR

Let's take what you just said point by (lame )point.....

A.) If you were smart enough to buy a Boss 429 in 69 or 70, you would have a VERY valuable car today.You would have enjoyed it all this time ,sell it now and put 2 kids thru college. If this sounds idiotic to you, I guess you don't get it and never will."Period".

B.)There were 993 GT 500 KR's made. If you buy a limited production high performance car , keep it long enough and keep it nice...the value will go up. The value depends on a number of things, even the ecomony,but you will be able to sell it for a multiple of what you paid for it. Most cars are just used up and smashed...a few cars are ok investments over time. Like I said ,limited production and high performance are good bets. I bought a KR convertible from a guy who needed college money in 1978 for $4500.I sold it last year for $105,000.Yeah, idiotic, huh? Guess I'm am idiot

C.)I'm merely pointing out to you and others an obvious fact :not everything you do to a car will be widely accepted as tasteful and value enhancing. Most of this junk does just the opposite and makes your wallet a lot thinner. If you like it ,good for you. Don't expect everybody else to. I hope you like it a lot ,because you won't get that money back. Am I berating your decision? Not really.It's a free country and a free economy. Somebody is going to make money, somebody is going to spend money ,others will waste money. Which category do you want to be in?? I've chosen mine .

Buying a NEW car as an investment (other than an ultra rare performance car, which the NEW GT500 wil not be) is a crap shoot at best. Buying an ultra rare performance car CAN be a good investment (i.e. your KR Vert), but as a whole, it is best to buy a car to ENJOY, which celtic has obviously done, and for that... There is absolutely NO way (that I know of) to predict future value of cars, making those who bought Boss's for investments very lucky gamblers.

As for someone who would spew nothing but negativity toward someone else's car... :notnice:

Didn't your mother teach you "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all"?



Edit...I kind of like all the quotes
