I remember i bought 5 because I was doing a turbo swap, and I kept thinking it was an engine harness or an ecu, so I bought shells to take parts from. Eventually, my dad got mad, and I scrapped them all not wanting to argue with him. I regret it
you forgot the ford gt
seems like a lot of cost to keep and maintain several of these cars for over 20 years in hope they go up just to resell
My parents had a 1977 Toyota Celica in the early 2000's, I loved that car to bits but we were running out of space and my dad decided to sell it for less then $500. They asked me if I wanted it and I should of said yes.
my biggest mistake was being 3 years old in 2008 and not buying a house
i want an RX7 but fuck me they're expensive
I bput a talon fpr 2000, it was all wheel drive rurned up the turbo and made about 8,000 before i blew it up and bought another. I could of bought 270 zs for 2,000, , Rx8s for 2000, so many good cars, ahhhhhh
I was so stupid I passed up a 300zx twin turbo for 7000, had 60,000 miles and was cherry. I got a 5,000$ wrangler and got mad chick's, but the sports cars they sell now there all under 10,000 more around 5 or 7 thousand back in early 2000s
I'm happy that I bought my 1988 300zx Turbo in 2004 for $750 with a blown head gasket with 120k on the odometer. 😆
I mean
First you buy the car
Then you gotta maintain it cost money a car just sitting for years we see how that goes.
Then you gotta have a good parking space costs money
Then you gotta have insurance cost money
Then if you drive it alot the value goes down.
I allways say we can all have regrets I have many car regrets too but the value of cars for me isnt in $ it is in the joy I get out of each car for as long as I drive it take care of it and love it. And let say you make a profit of 10k or 20k after many years you will just spend it on other car projects and loose it all. 😉
I bought a 1990 rx7 (convertible, not turbo) in 1997. I had it 17 years. Almost no problems. Wish I still had it. not so fast, lousy mpg. Mazda slogan at the time "it just feels right." it sure did. balanced, great brake feels. I moved out of the US for wife's work, otherwise I would still be driving my rx7.
I have loved RX-7's but then Gen 2's have won my heart over more recently than the Gen 3's
Great video I once saw a Silver Aston Martin DB5 for sale in a Friday Free adds 25 years ago for £5000. Now they sell for close to a million.
The MKIV.:R32. Only a few of these super VWs were imported into the USA in 2004. The only R32s that had 6spd manual transmission. You can make a ton of money if you have a low mileage mint condition model.
the us cringe car culture and it´s consequences
Donut loves to exaggerate pricing on cars. Those care were never 2k. Clickbait as usual. Unsubing.
I wished I bought a FC when I had the chance
What a blast from the past when Justin pulled out the DuPont Registry. Use to get it every month!
Miata
You can thank LS guys for keeping the FCs alive while all the purists rotary guys were focusing on the FD.
I actually bought that FC RX-7. I was 19 at the time and it was about 5000 bucks for an 88 Turbo2.
It took 6 months for the engine to blow.
I had a blast in that short time!
All you kids kind of forget that every year there’s less and less of the cars available. That’s why they cost more. There’s only so many that survived 35+ years. Plus inflation. In 30 years you’ll all be complaining you didn’t buy X car today when it was “cheap”.
