That's another story ... I believe C-mas Contour was his Contour, decorated like a C-mas tree. Lights, wreaths and all. Packrat: I keep hearing about Moser Gill but searching reveals no such topic. (Perhaps it's because the search feature has been reset after a year.) Where is this topic?!!!!!!

"A car is not an inventment" I wonder what kind of genius this person is...they just had on TV that a car is one of the best things to invest in, once they hit 20 years old, they go up an average on 10% each year...now I know why I love cars so much

a car is a fixed asset. it depreciates. fixed assets are clearly defined separately from investments in accounting and reporting. therefore cars are not investments.

Don't believe everything you see on TV... cars are about the worst investment you can make, because as Kim said, they're depreciating assets. You want fun?? Buy a car. You want an investment? Buy some real estate or savings bonds.

Then I'd like to know why my neighbors, and my friends dad's classic cars are worth ALOT of money today? Friends dad has classic Camaros, Corvettes, even a classic Ferarri. The cars are worth more than their whole house put together. My neighbor has classic Fords (Im surprised they have lasted this long) 1963 Galaxie 500, 1913-ish Ford Model something pickup, 1952 Ford Customline, 1964 Chevy Impala, and again, cars alone are worth more than his house. If you say cars are not an investment, you're a moron. Cars go up in value as they get older, more rare. Even if they arent worth as much as youd like, it's a car. A part of your personality. Cars are very important to me. My moms BMW is ALWAYS spotless, inside and out, same goes for my Mystique and my 6000. I put my life, and most of my spare time into these and, I know, my 6000 will be worth ALOT of money when it gets older. All-wheeled drive S/Es are very rare. Only a TOTAL of 1400 AWD 6000s made from 1988 to 1990. The 1988s are worth about 20K right now, because there were only 140 AWD STEs made in 1988. Cars ARE an investment, you put money into them, you get money out. You just have to TAKE CAR of your car, so it lasts long enough to be worth the money
