Da Hapa you are correct, silver WAS available in 90. What I should have said was that only red, white and blue were available when the car was introduced in June 89. Silver became available in the spring of 90 so silver was available during the last 3-4 months of the 90 MODEL year.

 

Every performance car I have purchased over the last 30 years came with assurances that the car will hold it's value well. While I certainly did not expect them to actually appreciate in value, I was hoping their depreciation would be limited. No such luck. Some depreciated more than the average for similarly priced cars, some less; but they all depreciated. I'm sure the Stook is no different.

 

But those vehicles weren't produced in quantities of 8000s per year. Most of the "hot" variants were in the few hundreds or low thousands. There sure weren't many thousands of Pantera's, and there weren't that many Z28s in the early years. The vanilla, volume corvettes of the period quoted aren't particularly valuble (compared with savings bond interest over the same period), but the rare HiPo versions are worth much more. All the stooks are the same. They aren't going to be worth anything more in 20-30 years than an early 911 is worth proportionally today, which is to say, "not much, and expensive to maintain".

Cool! I'll be looking forward to a 4L/V8 RWD Legend in 2003. Good move, and necessary for the segment, but years late.

It's like switching a dead pet. LOL

 

Geez, I didn't even know this was a limited production car!!! Until after I bought it, then I read it here.

I bought it because it's a great sports car for the money.

I've always thought that limited production meant under 1000-2000 total, worldwide, ever, fini, no more, seeya, been there, all gone... BTW, if they only made 1000 or less worlwide this board wouldnt exist...So be happy the legacy continues

As far as I know, the ONLY Japanese car that was ever a worthy collector car, even to this day, was the Toyota GT2000.

 

They will be worth about half their original value in 10 years (see 1990's NSX's); and they will be worth their original price (not value because of the dollar value in 20 years) in 20 years (see 308 Ferrari's); but they will never be worth what a 1969 Pontiac Trans Am Convertible is worth!



See http://bargainnews.com/BNO/photo_nd.cfm?Sh...D1969&Uq=3&SV=0 They are asking $259,000 for this one and there is one in Indiana that was $225,000

 

If you ever sell one of those, I'll buy it off of you for $1.00.
