Perception is a funny thing when it comes to cars. Most people don't pay a lot of attention to them and only know what they have seen on window stickers in showrooms. My mom had a really skewed idea of what various cars were worth.
I took a rich lady friend to a Porsche gathering at Santa Monica airport a couple of years ago and she was looking at the cars the way that she looks at something right before she buys it. We practically had to hold her back, it was hilarious. They were collectible cars, rgruppe hotrods, gumdrop colors, etc. Lots of eye candy.
