Takumi tax

Well at least we agree on that..

hey yea whats with type x lights being worth so much! i mean it probably cost nissan exactly the same amount of money to pour in the plastic to make type x or normal tail lights.. theres seriously nothing special about them! except making your car look newer.


YES! exactly! i really think people should be getting out there enjoying what they've got rather than leave it in the garage.. i mean that is another way of appreciating it, but im a strong believer in using what you have.

So true, I own a very rare (1 of 232) Honda Motorcycle, prices are ridiculous,

clutch cover $6000(atleast it's magnesium)
fuel tank $12000(aluminium)
radiators $6500 (for two!)
exhaust $4500
I shudder to think how much Honda would charge for the titanium conrods

Less Availability = Higher Value

pre 1960 VW's were so common up until about 15 yrs ago, prior to then you could pick up one for less than 500 bucks, but as they become thinner on the ground, the value essentially goes nothern,

ANY thing that was made in a small volume, or was made in a large volume but is now less common, is going to worth money,

this theory applies to anything

-Cars As above
-Watches, Vintage Breitling and Rolex now sell for 5 times the orig price
-Sneakers, Jordan 1's retailed for under 200 back in 84, now an original pair has been seen to be sold at excess of $1500

i could go on...................

but who cares, get over it, if you cant afford an ae86 just buy a KE70, they are the same arent they!

Is there a "Asakura Tax" because of the Fairlady 240Z in Wangan Midnight?? That cartoon started in the early 90's too, but people considered the S30 a classic long before that... it remains a nostalgic hero today along with other models, like the Hakosuka Skyline, TE27 Trueno and Levin, Datsun 510, Mazda R100, RX2, RX3.



The AE86 is already 25 years old and will be revered as highly if not more so than other cars of similar vintage.

[shinobi]

Its not an attitude its an opinion and im entitled to one..

[driftke70]
