I feel like GT4 is a risky buy right now, out the door I'm 114K or 120K with full XPEL film. There are about 8 GT4's for sale in Canada right now between 140-160K, in the states there are cars trading hands @ MSRP. (Which means a number of sellers have sunk costs in taxes, protective film etc)
Do I even want this thing if I could end up in a position where I'm possibly losing money on it??????
FFFFFFFF UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

There is something fun about driving a sports car and then making money on it when you sell it.
If you have been lucky enough to experience this once you want to try and do it again.
My ITR may go up in value over time. I don't plan to ever sell it but a rising value makes maintenance costs seem insignificant.
The NSX is not a low mileage garage queen but odds are it will continue to appreciate.

Lol one thing Jason isn't is an investor when it comes to cars. Pretty sure he likes to have as good a time as any of us.
Then I dont see why this is even an issue (even less so a 5 page thread). It would be one thing to say: "oh well this thing has taken so long, and now there is other options out there for me which might be better".
But to just look at how prices havn't done the same thing as a 911 GT3 or something like this, and then decide not to buy it based on that, simply demonstrates that you didn't want it because it was going to lose its value.
From any bystander what was typed up above clearly shows that he is looking at not purchasing the car strictly from an investment standpoint.

I think he's a guy that doesn't know if he actually wants the car. Because you know, if i really wanted something, and it was going to drop, I wouldn't give a shit. If I kinda wanted something and prices were climbing I'd take a gamble. You gotta remember he's selling a fucking insane nsx to do this.
Jasonturbo is great at losing massive amounts of money on cars, but even though jasonturbo is a billionaire he's got to think of a risk/reward perspective. Realistically he's only going to own it for 2 months and spend 20k on a set of wheels for it, so I'd be questioning the value of doing that as well if I were him.

While I'm sure I will enjoy the Cayman, the reality is that I would prefer a 997 GT3 RS.
So while I'm happy to snap a GT4 up @ MSRP where a considerable margin exists for me, I am not so happy to pick it up if I risk losing money - I might as well just skip right to the buying a GT3 RS part. I was hoping to possibly use the GT4 as leverage in a trade for a GT3 RS or at a minimum, as a hedge against further appreciation in the 997 RS.
The GT4 is oodles of fun to drive, but it just lacks the presence of a 911 - I need that big fat ass in my life.

Too bad it isn't about flipping cars to lose money, I'm really good at that.

The days of GT4s for 20k-30 over MSRP are long gone.
Just like those guys selling their used 91 GT3s on RL for over sticker as well
I'm glad it's finally in a "buy" position rather than a "flip/speculator" position IMO. But that will obviously affect your decision if you're in the latter.
