That’s a great car! My father in law got his CLK new in 2001, but not the AMG version that you got. It drove like a dream. Someone got a great deal.

To answer OP, no.

Yes. 98 Lexus LS. Doesn’t take much to be worth more than that but it’s comfortable, high quality and insanely reliable.

Cars a depreciating liability. Certain Rolex models if bought at MSRP, can be considered as an asset class.

When I bought my car a year 18 months back, it may have been slightly more expensive than my Daytona. Don’t think it is the case anymore.

Strange if you think about it

Depends on the car. If you bought a Toyota Rav4 Prime 18mos ago, unless you ran it to the ground, it's likely above new msrp price now. Crazy weird times we living in.

Definitely depends on the car. Mine is now worth $20-30k more than I paid for it after almost 1 year of use. It's insane.

Here’s a picture of my $30k BLRO in my $18k VW Touareg. I was lucky enough to only pay $9,700 for the watch though.

Yep, sporting an SD 43 in a 2009 Audi A6 estate (estimated value $15k for the car and $17k for the watch), but strange how the value for both continues to inch up.

Pretty much.
Have a decent nice truck 2011.
To save gas, I drive an old beater back and forth to work.

Never have to worry about dings.
A car is a car

A watch….. That’s a different story.

I don't own a car, so yes :)

The last car I owned was a 1998 Suzuki Kei in Japan. I paid 50,000 yen for that (about 400 usd), so yes my current watch is worth about..20-25x more than that? Do I win?
