People think they ain't selling. They definitely are.
It’s interesting that they are selling. Personally I don’t see the value in a 10 year old $80,000 FPV, it’s insane.

I look at my fleet and there is no way I’d pay what I would get for them now. I sold my FGXR6T immaculate for 20k almost 5 years ago now. I now have a G6ET in the same condition and same year and been offered 35k, it’s mental.

For me, if I was dropping 80k on a car, it’d be a mustang. I do not see cars as investments though. Rego, upkeep, insurance, the stress of owning a car increasing in value, worrying about driving it anywhere etc etc. I have much easier less stressful ways to make money.

I sold my old LS3 VE Clubsport for 32, 4 years ago. It was immaculate. It’s sold twice since, once for 55 and last week for 85. Some people have way too much money. It’s a crazy world right now, I’ll just keep enjoying the cars I have because if I sold them, I wouldn’t be buying anything like them again.

Surely this can’t continue
