Whats going to happen at 25 yrs?

[87we410877]

What do you all think is going to happen withthe values of these cars at the 25 year mark? I would assume they are going to go up significantly. Any other opinions?

 

[gpadilla1071]

I believe they will go up big time!! Especially if the new movie of the fast and the furious comes out!! :biggrin:

Worthless as there will not be any oil left. Hope I am wrong and still here.

+2 worthless! Unless you figure out how to convert one over to alternative power. I'm guessing we will be shifting from oil to fuel cells and electric. We are already being out bidded on the worlds current oil supplies by the emerging industrial countries like China and India. What gas that will be available will be so high in price that gas powered vehicles will be a novelty. Assume the price of gas is like your 401K. Instead of doubling every 7 years it will double every 2 or 3 years after 2015-2020. Plus you have to consider the carbon footprint deal. It's already going downhill. Chainsaws and lawnmowers with cats are common today. I've said it a million times. Cars are a bad investment. Just drive and enjoy them while you can. Who cares about their price.

Edit: I thought you wrote in 25 years. Not when they are 25YO. Still worthless bad investments. Movies are only 2 hours. As soon as F&F4 hits DVD than nobody will give a chit on what a GN is.

Ha Haaa! I sure hope you're not right BuickGn!

You have to remember that 25-30 years ago they said we would be out of oil in 25 or 30 years....And there is still a bunch of oil out there. I can't think of the future being doom and gloom.

As for values, they will continue to rise in value as long as there are people out there that love our cars.....I'm betting there will be.

Maybe i'll just get rid of one.

I remember back in the late 70's they said all you would be to get is 87 unleaded gas, then Sunoco stopped selling Sunoco 260. It scared the crap out of me and I sold my MINT 1967 RS/SS 350 Camaro. What an idiot still regret it today. I think 25 years from now the turbo Buicks will be very collectible as the ricers of today will remember getting slapped around by a turbo Buick and create a market much like the 60's muscle cars are going thru now. Roadrunners fetching 40~50K back in the 70's nobody wanted them.
Gas guzzler,rattle trap rusty peices of crap.

I think you turbo six guys are screwed...they're gonna go WAY down in due time....





So....I got, uh....2k..cash money. Who wants to get rid of they're stage II's? Better get the money while I'm still willing to pay, fellahs!

As the fuel prices rise, the TRs will rise in value as the big block V8 will be way too expensive to drive. My girlfriend wants us to get a 454SS Chevelle, but I told her the truth that it would cost $10 in gas for her to make a round trip to Starbuck's..... Now my 20 miles a gallon for a turbo 6 doesnt sound as bad

Muscle car V8 drivers will have to switch to the Turbo 6 as fuel prices rise if they want to drive something cool, so our TRs will be in high demand and price.

 

[79TurboCutlass]

I think that all g-bodies and b-bodies for that matter are going to go up in value. They are the last of the full frame rear wheel drives to come from GM. The last of the muscle cars. Especially with the astronomical, unobtainable(atleast for me) prices the cars from the 60's & 70's are bringing in, or people think they can get.(thanks to Barrett Jackson). I see these cars having the same status.

Ever heard of ethanol. I think you southern y'alls call it shine:biggrin:

 

["Turbo-T"]

I think the value will only go up since they're the last of the RWD cars that had any decent power to them.

As for big blocks being too expensive to drive....that's merely an opinion and while not as fuel efficient as a turbo 6, the big blocks were what mainly defined the muscle car craze, and most muscle car owners don't drive their cars daily anyways, so filling up $40 for 2 good cruises on the weekend sort of makes up for that.

This coming from the owner of both a turbo Buick and a big block Chevelle.

Not to change the subject but are you a dreamer...what 401K funds are you looking at in the future that will double every 2-3 years...yeah right......the way my 401K has been going I'll be working until I'm 100 and I don't see it getting much better in the future...if you have an inside tips please pass it on...I'd love to retire at 90...

LMAO your fu**in shot. So thats the new toy huh? Try gettin a real turbo regal insted of that spray painted wireing disaster before you talk about the values. HAHAHA.

Gimme a call, i dont know if i'll have time this weekend for that exhaust. I got 4 tests on monday. I'll see tho.

 

[galoush]

You know i expected something fresh out of you like this , i think im going to go out and play frisbie with my CARBON FIBER ....soooo light .....hood that wears the spray paint you mention . Ill call you , That exhaust is going on one way or another assuming it not brutaly cold .

 

[Pablo]

I think the jump in value from the fast and furious using a GNX will be minor relative to the jump in theft.

Oh, and we are going to have oil for as long as any of us will live and then some. Possibly for forever.
Prices go up because there is no competition, self imposed limited production, and high demand. As competing energies appear like Ethanol, bio-diesels, electric etc... the price of gasoline will stabilize and likely decrease.

As of right now my 401k has a 24.8% return for the year. Figure that in, and in 3 years its almost doubled exactly. I've been averaging right around 25% for the last 3 years at least.
