yeah, very true i think these days.. there is the tight-ass market.. who wants the image... then those that are willing to pay a bit more and end up owning the car for more than 6 months.
hard to sell an r33 these days, so many around, so many of different varieties, and so many low prices with people desperate sale to pay back debts, go overseas, etc.
That is why I sold my r33.. saw it coming a bit.. but i was lucky even then to get a good price.
Unfortunately, soon as you buy it, you're going to lose money.. people need to realise that. The "out of the showroom" applies a little to older cars in someways.. have to sometimes expect to take a $3 or $4k hit to price it for a reasonably quick sale, even if you only bought it 6 months ago.
