Has market value went up?

I track many cars of all makes just for fun, and here is the scoop.

When a car hits a certain dollar amount that makes it very very inexpensive and a steal (such as our 986 has in the past), then people catch on to that and flock to that model.

Sure enough, the supply dwindles and demand automatically goes up--->classic basic economics! This happens to Fords, Infinitis, Ferraris, etc. The most dramatic change that I have seen in any car is the NSX (I shouldn't have sold it!!!!!!!), the 2004 NSXT is selling for the same price now compared to when I sold it in 2005 (2005 was the lowest point of the car).

Here is another word of advice, once that car is back up on the price curve, it doesn't come back down, so snatch one up quick Jake!

The nsx, s2000, and old 911s are some of the most recent booms. My guess is that the s2k has very few stock examples left and those that are stock are worth a ton.

Yeah, have you checked out the prices for the cr edition s2000? Almost damn near the actual selling price with 25-40k miles!

basic price demand elasticity / substitution effect right there

i think that spring summer always creates more interest in convertibles,but i also think that boxsters are now coming up in $,s more$ and maybe pre 06 with replaceable ims will continue to rise in $ if in good shape.im going to hang on to mine as well as my 914.its not the money so much,but fear that it will get more and more expensive to get good examples in the near future.
