Collectibles

Anyone think the GT will become a a collectible eventually? Similar to how the rx-7 and 240sx gained high demand late in its life.

I doubt it, but I expect in the long run its rarity will result in holding resale value better than the rest of the F30 family.

Yup, I see better resale value but I don't really see an increase in value. Not everyone wants a GT.

Great points. Looking to upgrade to something bigger and was debating on keeping the f34 for my kids when they start driving (10+yrs)

Lol it would have to be at least another 15 years for it to maaaaybe gain any collectible value.

BNTLY · 08-11-2020, 09:54 PM

I was thinking like 25+years from now.

It’s got a few things going for it:
1. It’s discontinued
2. Rare (not popular)
3. I have it in Midnight Blue (not common)

But you guys are right, it’s a stretch at the least.

Unlikely but just in case I’ll offer mine up for the first $100k. Rare all in Motley Fool buy!

Highly doubtful. as it wasn't limited production or highly sought after to begin with. It may retain slightly better resale value for the niche crowd... just because the owners are usually more mature, take better/regular care of the cars and don't mod the heck out of them. Most of the GTs stay closer to stock than any other F3x I'd assume.
