Oh come on. You are sitting here talking about appreciation and depreciation on something that isn’t even an investment. You could buy ANY car, ever made, take from the dealership and put in a garage. 20 years later, yah it will be worth money because it will be a “rare” find.

Matter of the fact is, $14K on a CRX is just dumb. UNLESS you are going to buy it for a small investment another 20 years from now and NOT drive it.

I have seen C5 vettes going for $15K so lets do some math:

Vette: (Benefits)

345HP/6-Speed/RWD/PW/PL/Airbags, I could go on and on and on

CRX: (Benefits)

Nostalgia?

I am not saying it is a unworthy vehicle. But to pay 14K for something like that you are going to put on the road is a joke.
