Umm, except the cars the average joe buys depreciate in value, while the supercars the rich buy usually apreciate in value, kind of like art, so wouldn't it make more sense that panel gaps are more important for that market?
Does having tighter panel gaps help with the resale value for the average joes?
- shuckles 4y agoThis isn’t true. Your average super car does not appreciate in value when you consider factors like maintenance and the fact that you have to buy a bunch of other garbage to even be put on the delivery list for a desirable car’s production. For example, actually buying a top spec 911 isn’t feasible if you don’t have a good relationship with your dealer. Notwithstanding the fact that the market for super cars is nothing like the market for Teslas or 5ers.
- nluken 4y agoSupercars absolutely depreciate in value minus select limited releases (which holds true for non-supercars as well). Look at standard Lamborghini Gallardos, Ferrari F430s/458s, and Aston Martins of any model and you will see that some of these cars are worth less than half what their original buyers paid for them.
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoFair point, that was a bad example on my end. Edited. But my point stands, that panel gap as a benchmark alone is no measure of quality or any other metric.
