appreciating

while browsing the classified section in today's paper, i came across an interesting proposition: someone is looking to sell a 3 year-old Lancer EX 1.5 at $56,800......???!!!!

is there something wrong..???? is the car worth that much now? if that's the case, maybe i could sell my car for $70,000..!!

unfortunately it's now a sell high and buy high situation........ any replacement i am getting will kill off my gain from the sale..... and i'll be back at square one....

reference: a civic FD2R costs $135,000 while the evo x and STi are out of reach......

when i bought my car 2 years ago, a FD2R was about $89,000...... how the world has changed in 24 months.......... OUCH..!!

on hindsight maybe i should have gone for a FD2R...
