Some banks are actively promoting them as good investments

“For customers with more than 1 million euros in liquid assets, a classic car can be an attractive addition to their portfolio in terms of yield and value stability,” Jens Berner, vintage car expert at !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! s asset management unit, said in an interview. “After the financial crisis, requests for alternative investments such as art, wine or classic cars had risen sharply.”  

Basically its just being lumped into “real” property investment

And then they’ll go park them in port tariff exclusion zones or whatever they’re called and not even pay any taxes on them... just like art.

Man I hate that kinda shit.

The investment grade cars were never going to be within the reach of average people but this moves the entire market further up so that even cars that aren’t all that special are unaffordable.

Remember, a German bank also said that Germany would win the 2018 World Cup and we all know how that went...

Yes, they’re all worth a shit load of money now, but look at the muscle car movement - a lot of them tumbled in value after the big market crash. Let’s just buy what we like and enjoy it, says the guy who wishes his Miata would be worth $100,000 someday...
