Your right, and I'm having second thoughts on the Porsche, Although I know I'm going to be happy with it if I make the decision to buy it. I would love to have a 92+ 3 Series but just can't afford to buy it at the moment.
Everyone says save your money, ok I can save my money after I have a halfway decent car to drive, I'm not saying hondas aren't decent just the ones I would consider are at least 2500 (92-95 civic hatch or coupe) and the 94+ integras are upwards of 3500 and civics are just slow and somewhat uncomfortable. For me to build a civic like i had it would cost me at least 5 grand. For 5 grand I can have an 85.5-89' Porsche 944 in near perfect condition or possibly a 92' Bimmer.
One of my main points are a porsche and BMW have a much higher resale value and will become collector cars, hondas on the other hand, the econobox of the decade...is not going to be a collector car 20 years from now. I don't see a whole lot of people jumping all over 75' Honda civics, but I see plenty all over a 75' 911. Let's put some american cars in this discussion.
67 GTO....highly sought after car
Before you say its becasue it was only made for XX number of years. We'll move onto the..
60's mustangs...again highly sought after, these cars also aren't the cheapest rebuilders during the century, but if you look around for these 60s mustangs, even in poor condition they have a pretty high resale.
It's simple, If you plan on keeping a performance/luxury car they will end up becoming collecter's items and the money and time you spent enjoying it will eventually pay off.
With a honda (I'm not trying to hate) dropping a $3500 motor into a $2000 car and $1000/yr to maintain
Are you ever going to get your money back..probably no where near what you paid
Will you enjoy it for the time you have it...probably.
With a Porsche (just cause some of them are deemed unreliable by some people) pay $2000 for a car worth restoring and $3000 to restore it and $2000 a year to maintain
Are you ever going to get your money back...In a way..i say this because, look at the original pricetag on an older porsche, look at the price now...pretty close. this most likely are for ones in good condition, sure your going to spend plenty on maintaining but you'll get a bigger percentage back
Are you going to enjoy your performance car...probably (everyone has their own opinions)
I'm not trying to put anyone down here, these are my opinions and just that. I don't mind hearing anyone else's either.
I asked my uncle (had a BMW) how much it costed for his normal tune-ups, he said "if you haved to ask you can't afford it".
So I'm just not going to ask and hope for the best.
