20 years ago, people thought the exact same thing about the Viper. But now the first ones are worth around half of what they were when they were new. Thats pretty good for a 20 year old car, don't get me wrong. But it hasn't gone up in value like people were expecting.
On top of that, those who buy a new car and store it, expecting it to go up in value need pay for insurance (even if it is just fire and theft) and usually storage fee's as well. Add it up over 20 years and a total investment
might work out to a 50% loss, if you're lucky. A real investment over the same time should at least double, probably triple your money.
