Even the $68,000 Integra Type R... OK lets see I was there $25,000 to roll one in 1997, and that is a low ball price. That is $40,000 today just because of inflation. The stock market is 4x the value and many stocks pay dividens that could have been reinested so say $130K to $150K today. but yeah lucky guy that sold his Type R... cause there were people putting 3x that into Zr1s and Grand Nationals... and these cars are not sell ing for 1/2 million today. I show a 1995 ZR1 to have an averge retail value of $25,000.... LOL, I remember bumping into a lady at McDs with a then new ZR1, she said that she brought it for something close to 100K as an investment and it would be worth a fortune later (well not if you are driving it lady)..... right, should could of rolled a beat house in Austin with decent property now worth 1.2 million and have been renting it out to UT students for $2000 a month for the entire time. |
Yeah but a car can be ENJOYED at least
Never know if you'll be around to enjoy those retirement funds.
Not that I'm suggesting AGAINST investing.. just to balance it with a life now and a life later. Personally I would never buy a car as an investment.. even though I've had 2 Integra Type-R's and still have one of them.....
