11 year old car....
35k miles...
40 grand....
think about it, just think about it. cars DEPRECIATE in value, not increase. especially after 11 years. they also depreciate the minute you drive it off the lot. This one drove 35,000 miles off the lot. if you're willing to spend double of what it actually is worth, that's pretty crazy, and stupid.

in most cases, this is true. However, if a car becomes a collector's car, it can go up in value. The MKIV supra became somewhat of a collector's car after F&F and it's value skyrocketed. since then, the value has probably stayed about the same if not gone up since then.

If you were to buy this car for 40K, own it for few years, driving it only a few thousand miles a year, and leave it unmolested, it would probably be worth close to the same when you go to resell it, and somebody else will be willing to drop a huge sum of money for it. A car is worth what someone is willing to pay for it...
