[QUOTE="nmp1, post: 15607731, member: 162682"] TK1299 I completely agree about Gen X coming of age and seeking these cars. I’m unfortunately a millennial but I have the mindset and work ethic of a Gen X. I was very fortunate and made good financial decisions that allowed me to get my two dream cars at a relatively young age. I was concerned about the values going up and didn’t want to miss the boat. Conventional thinking is a 20-year timeframe for the values start trending up but the 00R has been slowly creeping up since I started really watching them in about 2010. Back then dealers were asking high 30’s for clean low mileage cars. Goose I think you nailed it with fun over investments. I think 99% of “rare” cars are a bad idea as an investment only. When you figure how long you will likely have to hold onto a car to turn a decent profit compared to other avenues of financial growth, it’s just not worth it unless you’re buying a rare supercar that only the rich can afford anyway. And on top of that you have too factor in insurance, registration if it’s on the road, maintenance and repairs, housing it, and hope nothing unexpected happens. I see the values slowing going up on both my cars and I don’t drive them a lot while reserve my miles for nice days and meaningful times. I don’t expect to make money but I don’t think I will lose much either. I think there are 2 main factors that are holding the R’s back in value. 1 there are so many clean original cars that are completely or very near being completely stock 2 you can always find one for sale, especially the 95 and 00. If you only saw one for sale occasionally I think the values would be different but at any given time you can find at least one for sale somewhere as these cars seem to change hands a lot for such a lot production car.
