Let's say a seller screens his buyers takes a $5k hit to sell to a young "enthusiast" just getting into the Porsche world, seller feels good about himself until a year and a half later when "enthusiast" sells car because he needs the money and could not turn down such a high offer from the "collector" enthusiasts excuse to seller is he was just married and had to pay bills. Now original seller feels like a schmuck for believing that nonsense about a "forever car"
I do not believe anything any more from buyers, just money, lesson learned.
Nobody can predict the future.
Buyers decided what happens to cars not sellers.
Yep. I think the biggest change since I was that kid with stars in his eye is the transparency. The internet and CL and EBay did that. I remember when I was 20 waiting for Friday for the new Auto Trader to be printed. Now it is a website updated in real time. And we can all review all sources for cars reselling in a way we couldn't before.
