>>27658553>"properly stored">"22 years of dust"
why are corvette owners like this
>buy car for 83k inflation adjusted dollars>do nothing with it>sell 22 years later at a 50% lossi'm disgusted, those better be 240 comments telling her she's an enormous fag
>>27658578>It's an auto Oh even more worthless
>>27658553>clearly hasn't even been touched in 22 yearsHaha holy shit. Imagine being so retarded that you don't realize you are indirectly admitting your car is going to have a shitload of issues.
>>27658581The majority of C4 and newer Corvettes are auto(obviously not including manual only ZR1s and Z06s).
>>27658590Dear lord that is immaculate. >never seen rainBut actually true.
>>27658553Did he miss a zero? Just 40k sounds stupid, especially if you adjust original price for inflation.
>>27658558In his (only) defense, dust like that is easily washed off. Like theres no chance of paint or clearcoat damage. >>27658553Its mostly corvette owners because it was the attainable "super car" for boomers. As they get into their 40's an onward, a simple car loan could get you a corvette so long as you didn't have a boat, RV, vacation house, timeshare, heloc, and 12 other loans before it. It was easy to get as a middle class level boomer. He's clearly higher income with the viper, likely also with fewer than 10,000 miles because tying up $100k in cars you never drive is what they could afford to do. Theres a dude near me that begun a resto mod of a squarebody, his sale photo is a gallardo next to it in his 2 car garage. His house 15 years ago was probably $300k, today $800k. Its just what idiots with weird obsessions do; I have 4 guns I bought last year I still haven't shot. I don't know why I bought them. Its like increasing your horse is the dopamine hit, not the item itself.
>>27658598This pic is probably more appropriate. You just have to look at the garage around the car they're selling. This specific listing, he already took photos outside in a well lit area of the rear, why include this photo then?My theories are: -Is it an uninsulated messy shack? Means they fix the bare minimum to keep the car moving, but want top dollar because the car can move inside the garage. -Is their garage an immaculate palace to 1 or maybe 2 cars? They get more pleasure of owning that thing, and looking at it instead of driving it, repairing it, or modifying it. -Does it look like a normal dude's garage with stuff in storage, charcoal, kids toys, and the wife's minivan? He just enjoys driving the car but is focusing on real life before fun toys as he grows up.
Doesn't seem that hard to understand, have you heard of model car collectors?>>27658595Seems reasonable, maybe slightly too reasonable but it's not like clean C5s are in short supply, rare doesn't always mean desirable. Still, I would have asked $47,425 for the story.
>>27658595she and no.
>>27658578I would actually somewhat kinda maybe consider buying it if it wasn't automatic.
>>27658631As would anyone else looking at older vettes..who the fuck wants a slushbox.Autos are for retards who buy them new and keep them for 3 years before moving to the next flavor of the month car
>>27658588There's a boomer lives near me in Oz, has a ZR1 from the 80s or 90s, IDK, with delivery miles only.
>>27658553fuck me i want that viper
>>27658586They started it, ran fuel stabilizer and it has hand prints indicating it has been touched
>>27658645i want you.
>>27658598$3k bike lol
>>27658598god that's such an ugly color and those rice tail lights don't really do it any help
>>27658635>>27658631>>27658581You can’t afford it.
>>27658553Link pls
>>27658553I'd buy it for $30k right now. Would pay $35k if it were manual.
>>27658581>>27658631>>27658635>I WOULDA WANTED IT IF IT WEREN'T AUTO!LMFAO
>boomers are retarded news at 11
>>27658742>Found in the "Low Miles No Miles" public Facebook group.>use search function within group "corvette"first post. not hard to find.
>>27658553The premium its gonna cost for no mileage is not worth it. It's not rare enough to just keep like that and you'll feel stupid driving it ruining the main gimmick.This car is literally worthless
>>27658578Damn that's a clean interior. Shame it's kinda fugly
>>27658781bro is personally insulted no one wants his auto shit boxSad
>>27658553I too would drive a Viper over a Corvette.
>>27658980this is the sort of cope where you tell a chick she's ugly after she rejects you
>>27658737Ooo an auto shitbox, how I’ll be crying myself to sleep!You’ll be ready cash in hand though right, you’re not poor right? Prove to me that you’re not poor and go buy that boomer’s regret
>>27658647i wonder how many people know how fucked the engine will be from running it without actually driving it long enough to burn out moisture
>>27658574>>27658627>sheIt's a boomer. He had his wife list the car for him since she is a 15 year veteran FarmVille whale and he is too proud of never learning to use a "comfuser" to start now
So why did it just sit and was never driven?You think he bought it and then realised he hated driving it? Or was it all some boomer plot to flip it in 20 years for profit but ultimately failed?
I think they did a "his and hers" sportscar purchase on his insistence and she just refused to drive the fucking thing after purchase. Women WILL do this no matter how die hard passionate you are about your hobby and excited to share it. Just let it be.
What happens to rubber things after being stored for 20 years?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/111660764082
>>27658553poor car :(
>>27658578>AutomaticLmao nothing to see here guys
>>27658553Doesn't rubber rot anyway?
>>27659089>https://www.ebay.com/itm/111660764082yes.
>>27658553I have guns I bought and haven't shot or shot very little just for collection purposes to own and look at it mostly. I can't imagine doing that with a car, cars are expensive so if I buy it I'm driving it. More likely the dude refurbished it and dropped the mileage.
>>27659089>NO TIRE KICKERS BECAUSE THEY'RE BRITTLE
>>27658578>845 miles>seats already fuckedamerican build quality
>>27659145Aged leather is a feature
>>27659070Would make sense. He's got a viper in the shot, could've been his car, the matching-color vette was hers (hence an automatic) and she never used it.
Impressive very nice now let's see the cylinder walls
>>27658595Boomers don't understand inflationMy boomer dad also just has a million euros sitting in a savings account. I try to tell him this costs him about € 80k a year in inflation but he simply ignores this fact and refuses to do anything with it
>>27659089Yes, all the fuel lines, gaskets and seals will be ruined. Tires are easily replaced but replacing every single rubber part in the engine bay is a huge pain in the ass
>>27659242jfc. I don't know the options in europoor land but we have money market funds offering 5.5% last time I checked
>>27659245I know, he knows and he invested about 50k one time so that's hardly making a dent into his inflation costs
>>27658608 ONE WORD.GOD. BLESS.
>>27658553>properly stored>regular startsso it's seen cold starts and cold shutdowns its entire lifethat engine is fucking RAPED
>>27658553>>27658578>Blue with red interior Christ no wonder they only built 3 of the fucking things
>>27658608I have a theory that some boomers remember that times as kids seeing fairly rare cars being sold cheap and so wanted to do something similar. I think it would have been cool if I had enough space and money to keep one of these cars or any car almost brand new. Imagine keeping the last charger stored just to look at it and sit in it, you could have another one that you drive daily.>>27658553I heard a story of someone getting a fairly normal car in the 70's and not being able to drive it so it had about 1000 miles on it. It ended up only selling for a few thousand in about 2015 or so. All that work keeping it good and the family just flogs it off. The only problem with these is that they still make corvettes, if it was a chevy caprice I think it would be worth a bundle.
>>27659070There's a MILF who lives near me who rips around in an arctic silver 996 Carrera 4S, rain, shine, or snow
>>27659145>22 year old leather is slightly wrinkly omg its so trash!!!!Grow up.
>>27658553boomgroidery.
>>27658737data miner do not reply
>>27658553For starts, anything rubber needs replacing, including those 20 year old tires, all the fluids need to be replaced, "regular" starts lol.. Just because it was never washed dosen't mean the paint isn't fucked now. Fucking boomers man.
>>27658553Would be 300k today if the money was instead put into the SP500
>>27659575After taxes about $220k He'd be able to buy a new corvette! oh boy!
>>27658591>bachman autoI used to work with them lol
>>27659330Cars are depreciating assets. Even these awesome classic body styles and restorations aren't worth all that much after inflation. Boomers are retarded and invest heavily in shit that makes them negative money, news at 6.
>>27658598>increasing your horseWhat?
>>27659667Boomers keep doing it so SOMEBODY is having success with these "Ran when parked, collectible vehicle only 30k over original MSRP" specials.
>>27658700That's gay. Almost as gay as owning a corvette.
>>27658578>Auto>844 mi but seats have clear ass degradation to them>Dumbass claims perfectly stored but hasn't bothered to wipe any of the dust>Check engine light possibly due to retard not changing fluids>40kJesus fucking Christ all of you were correct. Boomers are fucking stupid. God forbid I don't do shit like this in the future.
what is the point of buying a cool car and putting it in your garage and then not washing it at all?like do you not give a shit about this car at all?if I did something lunatic as this, I'd at least wash it sometimes and maybe clean up my fucking garage every once in a while
If you have any enemies it's fun to put up a listing for some highly sought after car/item on these groups with a cheap but realistic price with their phone number
>>27659083Reminds me of my dad's silver shadow. Parked it up for 20 odd years, and he insisted the tyres were still good and didn't need replacing because he only put 200 miles on them before parking it. You could see the dry rot between the tread.
>>27658553Lmao fuck these boomers.
>>27659777These cars have to be cursed, no one ever drives them. The mechanics hate them and lose money working on them. The selling price is always simultaneously too high for a project car but too low for anyone to make any money.
>>27659693I think I meant increasing your horde, or hoard was probably the right spelling.
>>27659575>meme stocksno thanks
>>27659667>Cars are depreciating assets.In general yes and sadly we can't predict the ones that will appreciate for the most part but some classics appreciate like crazy. Rarely worth keeping a lifetime but it's true that once upon a time the 60s Impalas went for like $800.
>>27659242My dad wanted me to recommend him a new tv for 300, I asked him when was the last time he actually bought a new TV himself and he said the 90s; even then apparently he spent more than 300 on it. He doesn't get that when he pays bottom tier prices on everything it's "not as good as it used to be" because he isn't paying as much as he used to
>>27658647Don't matter, there's oxidation in the top of the cylinders that will cause knock city pretty fucking quickly, also lots of plastic and rubber is worn to shit. No one should fucking buy that thing because very soon it will cost another 11k to fix everything.
>>27658558That shit washes right off. It's the cars that have been religiously buffed, for twenty years, that have no life left in the paint.
>>27658553>$40000 = $22,937 in 2002 dollars.The value of that car halved just sitting in his garage. Stuffing that $47k in a mattress would have preformed marginally better.Its actually kind of unfortunate. A lot of guys in the 90s and 00s were buying cars and storing them like that thinking it they would have a high value car on there hands some day that they could just roll out to Barrett Jackson action or a car show. The problem is the supply of these 90s/00s cars out strips the demand from younger generations.
>>27660479Probably dudes thinking they were getting the new version of 1960s classics not realizing everyone growing up in the early 2000s would want JDM legend cars or BMW/Mercs from when they were made solidly. A truck motor in a car stereotyped for being owned by rich douches isn't what anyone is excited for now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THfkDEetQdw
>>27660479You're such an idiot. Stop looking at it from a boomer's perspective of investing and inflation. He's listing it for $40k because it has no miles on it and boomers love corvettes. This has been listed for over a year, its one of the least desirable corvettes and has known glass jaws like the crossfire injection. Its just what boomers do. See my post above of having that attainable "super car" feeling their parents had specifically for corvettes.
>>27660504I run across this listing all the time.
>>27658578>He preserved an automatic. Boomers truly are fucking retarded.
>>27658627lol looks like a bird shit on the engine
>>27659699>he thinks that's an actual check engine lightYou're a fucking retard.
>>27662969You in DFW? And yeah, he's relisted all of his corvettes for well over a year, now just realize each month its $5 per listing. Now realize how many people would rather pay craigslist probably hundreds of dollars instead of just taking a couple thousand less on offers. But that corvette is probably a $16-20k model given its overall condition. Its weird seeing collectors value their own cars and just being wrong because one time they saw a similar car go on auction for that much.
>>27658553>regular startsLiterally more wear as if you beat on the motor all day
>>27659699>>Check engine lightThis anon has never started a car.
>>27658553>keeping an automatic non z06 c5 and thinking it'll gain valuekek>cold starting it and not driving it, thinking that's good for iteven more kek>>27658737>>27658781oh boy the automatic transmission fans are here. You guys realize a C5 has one of the shitty old automatics from the 90s, not a new 10 speed with lightning fast shifts and 800ftlb torque capacity, right?>>27659318this
>>27663218>800ftlb torque capacitthat's it?with how much these spammers hype them up, I thought it'd be at least 1000ft-lbs
>>27664959A 10R80 (mustang/camaro/F150 10 speed) actually is rated at 800Nm, an 8HP90 (hellcat 8 speed) is rated at 900Nm. Both will handle substantially more at least on a temporary basis judging by how many stupid fast forced induction mustangs and modded hellcats run around with stock transmissions.
>>27664983nm /= ftlbsAnd at those power levels the clutches get absolutely roasted and have to be rebuilt regularly or everything gets real slippy and you can't put the power down anymore.
>>27665024>nm /= ftlbsyeah, that's why I specifically wrote the unit, you stupid fucker
>>27665029You always write the unit you nigger. Always.The conversation went>they can only handle 800ft-lbs?>yeah they are rated to 800nms.800mn<800ft-lbsSo no, they aren't rated to handle even 800ft-lbs.
>>27665048You dumb fuck, I am not the anon who said 800ftlb. I replied and said it's in GOD DAMN NEWTON METERS YOU SHITBRAIN MORON FUCK YOU HAVE THE READING COMPREHENSION OF A HAITIAN WITH A TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY
>>27665048>yeah they are rated to 800nms.He didn't say that. He actually told you it's rated at less than 800lbft because if you did some simple math you'd realize that 800nm < 800lbft
>>27658567>gages
>>27658781>he wants a 4l60e corvette
>>27665053Are you retarded?How could anyone with a functioning brain possibly read through the reply chain and come to the conclusion that the issue in communication we are having is that I need to be be told that Nm stands for newton meters.I clearly know that it does in that I am have pointed out that a ft-lb is greater than a nm.You absolute simpleton.
>>27665058Damn bro, it's almost like you can't read.
>>27665071>I drive a corvette>b-but it has the 4l60e!>...I drive a corvette
>>27658578Spiderman color scheme
The joke is that even if it were a manual it still wouldn't be desirable. Jesus you guys are retarded.
Hi guise what's going on in this.... oh mai.
>>27659694Most don't. They watched Mecum/Barrett Jacokson auctions which filled them with the notion that any car that has sat in a barn for 40 years can be sold for six figures with just a spitshine. They will let their cars sit for a literal decade with a 'for sale' sign on it because they are adamant that some day somebody will come along willing to recognise their "hidden gem". >>27660060It's actually pretty easy to predict what will appreciate. Limited collectors edition of a mid range or luxury car? It'll appreciate. Super car? It'll appreciate.
>>27660479If he had picked some actual desirable options rather than the Spiderman Special he probably could've got some decent money for it in another 15-20 years.
"One of only 3 built"Translation: Only 2 other people thought this color scheme was a good idea.
Just saw this gem. in the last 18 years he's driven it 600 miles. I can't tell if thats his trophy wife or his daughter.
>>27665269>transmission shits out on the side of the road after a lifetime of taking 2-3 seconds for every shiftThe fact that there are 4l60e stans on 4chan is baffling
>>27667364Why the fuck would you restore a car like that and drive it just 600 miles? That’s like having a wife or a daughter that looks like that and never fucking them, just saving their pussy for the next chad in line.
>>27667364>does it come with the woman?

>>27658574Really?Do we need to flesh out this topic one more fucking time?A 22 Year Old vehicle that sat for 22 years DEPRECIATES LESS than one that was driven regularly.This Fantasyland of "it shouldn't depreciate at all" and rather "it should actually appreciate in value" is fucking Bollocks.Go Grift elsewhere.
>>27658995He already rejected you though
>>27675414>it should actually appreciate in value" is fucking Bollocks.For desired cars you're wrong. An all original 1970 Plymouth Barracuda will sell for at least 400x what it sold for in 1970. A random piece of shit car will plummet in value, then often just keep up with inflation. A Ford Pinto was a pile of shit in the 80s. Now in decent condition they're selling for 3x what they were new.
>>27675402
>>27675422>For desired cars you're wrong. An all original 1970 Plymouth Barracuda will sell for at least 400x what it sold for in 1970.That's a fair point, for which I forgot to include the caveat.The car in question here is not in the same category AT ALL.
>>27659060>boomer wife also wants a "weekend toy" to drive because Merv doesn't let Betty drive the Viper>buys wife a Corvette>she drives it and complains about trivial shit that makes her drive the car less>won't matter if they car sits there as clearly it's in a separate/second garage on the property so the Corvette isn't taking up unneeded space. >because it's a "special edition" they keep it so that it becomes effectively a fancy garden ornament to show off to his other boomer friends>likely deciding to sell now because Betty wants to turn the spare garage into an overly expensive AirBnB or some shit because her other wealthy boomer friends did the same. Women are retards, no matter the generation.
>>27675430>The car in question here is not in the same category AT ALL.Assuming you're talking about OPs corvette you're still only kinda wrong. Those corvettes are desired by people building race cars and boomers wanting to own an inexpensive corvette when they instead spent money on some other bullshit in their life. For that undriven example something in the 30s would seem reasonable to a cheapskate like me. You'd have to be silly to spend 40k on a corvette that old because ones with some miles on them are still ~$15-20k. Sometimes you have to throw belief and value propositions out the window. Kids had posters of that piece of junk on their bedroom wall, and 30-40 years later now that they have some money can live that dream of owning a poster car. Thats true for nearly every generation. Squarebodies are super popular (going up in price) now. 10 years ago you couldn't give them away. Easiest example are any year Ford Bronco. They were junk 30 years ago, they're junk today but that won't stop beaters from selling for $15k still.
