This is why I buy the clapped out cars, as long as it ain't rotted they can be fixed up on the cheap while you drive them. I've seen quite a few of my old cars resold with bs stories at super inflated prices. One of my old coupes was being passed around as a low mileage cream puff, the damn thing had the whole left side (fender, door and quater) replaced in the 90s before I even picked it up for 3k in the early 2000s but the carfax showed clean and less the 50k mileage I sold it for around what I had into it after 3 or 4 years. The last time I saw it pop up for sale it had a mid 20k price with a semi decent respray and a fresh undercoating, too many flippers into these cars any more if you don't know what to look for.I bought a 26 000 mile 93 vert last year, paid it 25k.
I didn't enjoy it at all, was scared to drive it and add miles, was scared that someone would skratch it or get into an accident because then the original paint wouldn't be original anymore and there goes my investment. I was even paranoid to when my kids sat in the back seat, I didn't want them to dirty the carpet ect.. lol.
That being said, i sold it last month and am now looking for a foxbody i can drive every day and enjoy, I want to add a nice sounding exhaust and some wide wheels! I couldn't do all this on my stock 93 vert cause it would depreciate.

For the right car and price, I can exterminate some critters.might sell the one with space herps,make an offer?
There's two sides of the Spectrum here. I have a couple very very modified foxes that I have the same concerns with. I'm listening for every possible mechanical issue and blowing it out of proportion, before I realize what it is. When they need custom/high-end aftermarket parts, they're expensive, and when I need help, it takes forever and the quality is never up to par, even by apparently reputable shops. I love the cars, truly, and they are amazing drivers, but there is a Goldilocks zone here. Foxes are meant to be driven, and they're meant to be modified to some degree. More than all of that though, they're meant to be enjoyed!I bought a 26 000 mile 93 vert last year, paid it 25k.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Karma is a bitch though, these fools will eat their own crap soon enough.I'm seeing cars sit for years at that price, most are cars that where stripped of performance parts and made to look stock again or polished turds. The amount of fake unmolested cars or straight up hack jobs I've looked at with crazy asking price over the past few years is laughable. a sub 20k mile bubble car is a very different thing then a cleaned up driver quality car unless its posted on Facebook lol. I've seen a bunch of decent driver quality cars move fast in the 5--9k range recently that you would typically see with stupid asking prices in the Foxbody groups where all the flippers hang out. I just saw a clapped out coupe with some janky rot repair and the crustiest high milage f150 coyote I've ever seen swaped in asking well over 25k. Wasnt shocked it was a local flipper who bought it, I'm sure he will tack 10k on to his asking price in a few months of beating on it, people are paying stupid money on swap cars even when its a hack job and if you question the price your one of the poors or a hater lmfao. The only thing that really happened is the scummy classic car flippers have moved into the later model markets.
These numbers are being driven by nostalgia and speculation. The people buying these aren't drag racing or street racing anybody, especially not a Camry driver.Yeah market will cool off once enough of these people buy these mustangs then get slapped by a v6 camry on the highway easy.
LOL... Let me show you my first 3 cars and ask you if you wouldn't want them TODAY.... My 69 corvette convertible was my 4th but I have no pictures of it..That's just how it is, guys. Those 40-70 year-olds that have spent careers piling up the money start reminiscing about cars they've liked. The guys I know who have always done well had the phase of the latest and greatest corvette/mustang/take-your-pick, and then they realize that they always wanted that one car they had a passion for... Those cars are the ones that pop in value, and when the generation dies off, they drop in value, though never back to their original prices. You see it when you go to the Coucourse d'Elegance car shows. We'll start to watch the 50s-60s cars start to come back down slightly while the 80-90s ramp up.
I do think that the 60s was a special era that will likely persist a little longer in the car markets, though. The 70s and early 80s, maybe not as much. But I have a hunch, the 90s and especially 2000s will ramp up considerably.
Maybe we should start a list of special cars that are still of reasonable value that are low production and may end up being the best investments in the decade to come. My vote:
- 95-99 Saleen S351
- 95 Cobra R
- Gen 3 Supra (unmolested)
- Gen 3 RX7
- AWD/turbo DSM cars (not sure if rare enough)
- Gen II GTS & ACR fixed roof Vipers?
