It’s a cool car and all. But it’s already very pricey. $25k over that is nuts.

Hey, some guy just paid $90k for a 30 year old Bronco on BAT so maybe $25k over sticker on one of these isn’t THAT crazy.

True, but that's a tough comp. That site should be called BATshit Crazy based on some of the auctions.

So if I put these two statements together, I am supposed to pay 25K over MSRP, then not drive it for 30 years, then hope to auction it off to help my retirement? (if I'm even alive in 30 years )

SMH

If I owned that car no way in hell I'm not going to have a blast driving it

Yes, exactly. Put it in one of those bags in your garage. Pay insurance on it for 30 years. Then sell it for $50k or $100k more than you paid for it (!!) and brag online about how much money you made!!*

*completely ignoring the opportunity cost of what you would have made on that money over 30 years even at only 3% or 4% return.

You almost have to wonder which one is the bigger clown . . . .the clown who owns it and stores it for decades, or the clown who payed 90K for it.

Maybe they went to the same clown college
