Damn I want that.

I thought these old Benz disintegrated, and parts are all discontinued :pokerface:

Of course parts are discontinued... it's a 1975 lol

They discontinue anything more than 10... MAYBE 15 years old

The "good" news is Benz, BMW and Porshe will fire up the molds and remake you any parts you want for a small sum of thousand and thousands and thousands and thousand and thousands of dollars.

Those old cars always have such dedicated groups that find ways around things or someone makes an aftermarket solution... or you just trade in wrecked cars salvaging parts.

It's not for everyone, but it can be a lot of fun.

Dajiban anyone?

"If I had money" are the four words that have kept me from living my best life since T-Rex roamed the earth.

Come get a hug tonight

Pretty much what I say all the time, if I had stupid money....

If I had stupid money an aircraft hangar wouldn't be enough space to keep all my stupid cars.

you're secretly rich aren't you? :accepted::accepted::accepted:

Well it's a pretty good secrete cuz even i dont know about it.

I was looking at new hangers. They aren’t that big. Lol!

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I've got a running mental list of weird stuff I'd love to build for the hell of it. Like a 20b Corvette.

interesting take on where the used car market is headed:

i doubt it. As long as people are still waiting 3-5 months for a corolla, the used car market will stay inflated.

I don’t doubt the number of people lining up with $$$ to burn for rare or luxury or 3rd/4th/5th vehicles they collect or feel nostalgic about is drying up, which is the primary audience for most cars appearing on BAT and, to a lesser extent, carsandbids… but I agree the regular used car market isn’t going to be dropping off in the near future.

What about all the stupid aircraft you would also have in that hanger?

cars in the $10k-$30k category will likely stay inflated as those cars are necessities. People buying luxury / enthusiast cars will likely drop as interest rates keep climbing. Will be interesting to see in the next few months as we go into winter

the sub 50k stuff, "regular cars" are slowly starting to age on inventory.

it may pick up in september when the new GST kicks in for the new 100k+ stuff.

I drove by Westwood Honda, their lot is packed with used cars. The inventory is there, and by now a lot of people that can wait will wait some more.

they're very quick yet finnicky.

$1000 away from being a street monster.

I would rather not jump into another expensive hell hole that are aircraft :lol

similar to real estate, seller's are the last to realize that the market has turned
