Throttle House long term Car Value reviews

[VBhak]

The boys at Throttle House did an "extra" on car values, and listed current cars that will retain value in the future, and a few cars that they believe will lose value. Great to see they agree with typical consensus BW's will hold value (at the 09:30 mark in the video).

What is interesting is their data is showing values are flat, meaning, they aren't going to dip any further.

As long as we don’t see a near term “Golden Age of the V8” with manual transmissions.

What do people want? A Chevy small block V8.*

What is being supplied? Turbo inline 4s.

Who could measure profits by the shitload? The company that supplies affordable V8s to the market.

I'm dubious on the idea that we're going to abandon any sense of fuel conservation and environmentalism. We're in a bubble (hookers and blow) right now. Please, I'm not advocating for EV's or think we are the cause of Earth's natural heating and cooling cycles, but there is no way we are going to take a dramatic trajectory change in direction for what powers our vehicles.

There is going to be a new administration in a few years, which probably aligns with when product decisions made now would come to market. It would be a huge risk to invest in projects that are outliers on the 10 year trendline. I guess my point is, our current BW's could very well be the best of ICE and will indeed do very well value-wise.

If there is a post-internal combustion age, then the 5BW will almost definitely make the shortlist of 'Peak Internal Combustion Engine' cars. I am not going to worry about any theoretical change in administration or emissions policies in the future though, I'll be too busy driving the resale value out of mine to worry about it

I just got the latest issue of Car and Driver, and they had brief bit on the best American cars of all time. I don't know why it uploads sideways no matter how I rotate it, so you'll have to tilt your head... It's a short sentence. And props to the 4BW, too.

I'm going slightly off topic here, but the Celestiq is an unmitigated disaster. Middling range, middling performance, and 6,900 curb weight, all for a base price of $360k !! If you have the cash and actually bought one, you must have won Powerball because I can't think of a more foolish purchase at that price point. There is no way you had the skills/brains to earn that money. The Lucid Sapphire is over $100k less and is an exponentially a better car.

I know lots of reviews / people disagree but I find that car absolutely hideous. I would not drive it with a V8, V12, or a chauffeur and could buy it for 50$.
