Not that pile of shit. They make like 20,000 Hurricans.
There are only like 4000 diablos and even less countachs.
Rare + manual + V12 is what gets you money.
An automatic Murcilago is like 400k, a manual is like 1.2million

>>50253785
i would say absolutely not.

fuel is going to become very expensive and supply will become increasingly unreliable.

its likely frivolous uses of fuel such as cars like this will just be banned altogether.

move to a non-faggot state.
Soon all blue states will be no gas, no guns, no babies, no meat
Red states will be the opposite and have freedom

Get a Porsche 996 instead

>>50253785
They are expensive to maintain and rich people don't buy used unless it's a classic car.

996 owner here , can confirm.

>Is buying a used Lambo and keeping it im storage a good investment?
Short answer: no.
Long answer:

A diablo or older *maybe*, but no. Anything else, hell no. Generally speaking, cars that on the surface seem to appreciate over long periods of time rarely perform better than actual investments (equities), and usually don't even catch up to inflation. There are exceptions of course, but they're usually in the 7-8 figure range. Also, unlike traditional financial investments they're not divisible, they're highly illiquid, and custody is a real issue even if you don't drive them (flood/fire/theft risk).

If you want a lambo because you want a lambo, the fact that they don't depreciate much (in nominal terms at least) is a nice perk that can help you justify the purchase, but that doesn't mean they're even close to being "good investments".

hedge against inflation?

>>50253785
nope. it will definitely appreciate in value! unfortunately however it will take a decade to get even a +50% return.

if you can afford it , YES.
basically ANY car that was made in smaller numbers and by a pretigious brand fro mthe 1950s-1970s (ferrari/lambo/aston/mercedes/alfa romeo) have skyrocketed in price.

Mainly due to collectors. Its basically become a similar thing as the ART world except its better (for a buyer) because a car has way more serial numbers and background data to verify its authentic as opposed to one off paintings from the 1500s.

also with the rise of EV cars and zoomers/younger gens not working on or caring too much about sports cars (since they cant afford) they will only increase in price.

Again, even if they did work as a hedge against inflation (which is debatable), you're talking about a 6-7 figure, *non divisible* investment with a considerable carry cost (fire/flood/theft insurance + storage) and a very illiquid market. If your net worth is not several multiples of the price of a 6-7 fig lambo, you'd be parking (see what I did there?) a considerable amount of your capital in a convoluted hedge, that has no real benefits over traditional stores of value (metals).

Seriously, if you're a regular person, metals are a comparable (if not outright better) inflation hedge, with the added bonus that they're traded in much smaller price units and in a very liquid market (so you can rebalance your hedge easily to keep it within a certain % of your overall portfolio). Much easier and cheaper to store, transport and trade.

The only way a lambo as a hedge against inflation makes any sense is if your networth is 9-10 figs. In that case, a 7 figure car is a small percentage of your networth so the non-divisibility of each individual car doesn't matter, you can afford to buy several of those cars so you can capture a relevant fraction of the supply, and the carry cost can be distributed among many cars (lease a large warehouse somewhere and store a bunch of cars covered under one policy).

fpbp

to find a car that appreciates from here, you need to find a model that didn't get produced in large volumes, get the 'best spec', at the bottom of it's depreciation curve.

Flat earth theories aside, the UK government actually has a document titled "the ten point plan - towards a green industrial revolution" which basically says, yeah.... its habbening.

>>50253785
No, lambos are glorified money sinks
Vintage cars and fine art sure are as good as gold if you can store it

> fine art sure

My grandma had a small sketch from Picasso, but they sold it for little money in the 1980s. It prob would fetch half a mill or mill now.

>>50255300
Yeah, for sure!
Art is still the real NFTs

I bought a diablo last year, I'm expecting them to pump in a similar manner to the countach which did a 6x in a few years. But I also bought it because I love them, not because I want to make money on it. I'll probably never sell it desu

>>50255628
How are the maintenance costs? I am thinking about a murci soon.

bought a countach a couple years ago for $100k and sold it recently for almost $700k at the top of the market
