Most owners think they have a $150,000 car in 2047. My guess is that half of those cars will have less than 50,000 miles on them and will have never been in the rain. They won't be rare, they'll still drive like new, and they will be affordable.
That's probably when I'll start thinking about looking to buy.
I'm glad you guys are out there who have the money to buy these things new. I've never paid more than two grand for a car in my life; I can't fathom spending the equivalent of two thirds of the value of my
house on one! Forty grand plus for a car... better you guys than me.
Of course that's easy for me to say, I have my '70 to enjoy... which sits comfy cozy under its blankie in my garage 350 days or so a year.
It does seem, though that the things sold as "collectibles" end up being not (you should see how many Beanie Babies are piled on my kids' beds); it's the normal, everyday things that get used, abused and chucked that end up rare.
