OK, that's exactly the reaction you would have got from the Capri set 20 years ago, but now...............
Just saying
When I was younger a dose of the clap was rare in my town but sure wasn’t desirable

They'll never, ever have any value in the future.Old-Duckman wrote: ↑Thu Mar 26, 2020 10:41 am I like the line of thought that the 2.0 will be, let's say, an unusual find in future years and therefore desirable to collectors.

1. Modern cars comfortably out-last anything made pre-90s, so there'll be more of them around; when there's choice, people always want the one that's the rarest. Having owned quite a few classics, the "bottom spec" cars only become popular/desirable when there are none of the "higher spec" cars left, or there are none left at sensible prices.
2. The Z4 has a shared platform and so parts are easily accessible, BMW can keep the supply going as financially it's worth their while given the number of models those parts can/will fit.
3. Pursuant to #1, people will begin ditching traditional fossil-fuel cars in 8-10 years as the ban comes into place, and so the market will become flooded with "classic cars" and therefore potential purchaser will have a greater choice. They'll go for the rarer options first as they're more like to retain their value.
People buy a 1.6 Laser Capri as there are hardly any Tickfords left.
I agree with all you said, but I particularly liked your reference to a 1.6 Laser Capri!eddiemunster wrote: ↑Thu Mar 26, 2020 3:31 pm They'll never, ever have any value in the future.
