Unless I had money to burn I would not be inclined to blow 80 large on some pile of metal that has a depreciation curve similar to the flightpath of a brick thrown out of an airplane at altitude.
My step father had a nice conversation with a jeweler about the high cost of Swiss watches. My stepfather asked if the jeweler could explain how a small object like a watch could have a price comparable to a new Mercedes-Benz S- class. The jeweler smiled and said "ofcourse the watch is very expensive..........however let us consider what that S- class is worth in 5 years versus the watch". My stepdad ofcourse knew that would be the answer but it goes to show you really how overpriced alot of these cars really are when you consider how quickly the majority of them lose value .
