If the prices go up in 5 years and you sell it for $40000, you just made ten grand. Garage logic.
I agree that IF a guy buys a car and breaks even when selling, the cost of ownership was quite reasonable. It was not "free" as it costs monies to store and maintain, insure, etc. Still, the fun factor most certainly offsets those expenses.

On the other hand, if you think these cars will appreciate in the next five years, I have some really good deals available to you.

Not as much fun as owning an old car, but a guy can invest $30k and if done properly will have considerably more than $40k in five years.
