I understand your point but in my considerable experience w/ used sports cars, there is not always a correlation between affluence of owner and vehicle condition. I know people with $$ coming out of their ears who can destroy any new car in a matter of months and blue-collar guys who worship their cars. There is a guy in my building who is an EMT. He has a relatively lowly E36 328i that he treats like it's a Ferrari or something. Just pristine and he throws WAY too much maintenance $$ at it.

Generally speaking, though, you'd be right.
