Moving on, values aside, your now talking thirst for yeild!!?!?!?!

Last time I checked, my car didnt spit change out its *** while I was driving. If you want to talk about rates and yields cars are not analogous, at all. No one looking to buy something with yield turns to a freaking car dude. It may correlate on the basis of risk appetite for some but not most at this level, and certainly not a substitute for yield. The value of money goes down over time thats a fact, hard assets over time do well if its the right asset.

These dudes are rich. Its a toy and they would rather have a portion of their assets in a "store of value" thats tactile, and portable. Its not about the car continuing to appreciate at those levels. Some cars a true collectibles others get bid up like stupid 911 variants in a run up.

What collectible cars do you currently have?
that's not what I mean at all... the thirst for yield has pushed up asset prices, tangible assets prices, away from paper assets, everywhere... at the top end, and I think you agree with that... clearly you don't buy a CGT for yield, but the fact other assets you may own, like your home, possibly your gold, other rare cars, as well as any economic activity you maybe involved in that is indirectly linked to financial markets, which these days is everything, if all that has appreciated it makes it easier for people to afford the premium... it's the wealth affect at the top end... in 2009 CGTs corrected I think to about $300k, some slightly below, I think $275k was the lowest I saw... I bought mine in the low 3s and sold it in the low 4s, not because I didn't like it, on the contrary it was probably the best car I ever drove outside a track car, but because I felt bad driving it as much as I did... and I didn't want it sitting... anyway, collection includes mostly analog German and Italian cars and a couple of antique planes... if you're in the Bay Area pm me and drop by ...

I love when we get into managed micro-Econ discussions in regards to CGT.


"Investing" in cars basically means you are targeting a future price as an alternative investment. The only benefit of that is if you are willing to sell them eventually.

If you really want a yield or to make money in the car industry you have to be a dealer, not a collector. Collecting truly rare and special cars means you have to beat a lot of people to the punch, restore incredibly unique and special cars, and maintain them. The investment can be so high that it marginalizes your ROI.

ALTERNATIVELY- you can just make money working, and buy really cool cars, enjoy them, and then sell when you run out of space or can 1031 exchange into something better. And be happy and not troll Rennlist.

Any one that does not understand that the prices of cars are ultimately 100% manipulated by the collective dealer market - who represent the house in this game - should never be speculating in the market.

The house wins or loses but there is always another car ... this is not the case for "collectors" or other speculators.

So buy it to own it .. or stay out of it.

Well, it looks as if everyone is enjoying themselves. Off topic, does anyone know what color this CGT is? It appears to be the Pure orange car but I am not sure.

Also could be Rosso Scuderia, the painted spokes look to be a deep red.

Hard to tell from the pics but I think it's the Rosso Scuderia one. There is an orange one but I don't believe it had any paint on the wheels.

Rosso Scuderia. 1 of 1. It was for sale a few times in the past 3 years. I was offered the car in Jan 2014 asking $545,000. I think it had something like $70,000 in extras on it.

Thank you. I am compiling a PTS CGT list on VINwiki for those of you interested. So far I have W8MM's Signal yellow car, the Rosso Scuderia CG listed above, and the Arancio Borealis CGT.

$2500 for that paint... Back when paint to sample on Porsche's hypercar didn't start at $60k and go up from there like on 918. Porsche has gotten smart.. they realize wealth in the world has exploded and the sense of value in things has completely evaporated.
