The truth of the matter is that a huge percentage of cars and trucks are a depreciating asset. Picking the models that are actually beating the odds and gaining in value has always been a risk like most investments. It is true that Land Cruisers as a whole are an appreciating asset, right now. A little investigation into the classic and collectible car market will show that this market is volatile and follows both the economy and the whims of the consumer. Even muscle cars took a huge hit in the 90s and early 00s.

I do agree that there is money to be made, right now, buying and selling LCs. How long this will last is anyone's guess. Like any other investment, there is risk involved. Without risk a profit is unlikely. This may well be a case of "make hay while the sun shines" or it could run for years to come. We just do not know. Personally I'd take the risk and see if I could keep the 40, at least for the short term.
 
I found that listing a while back and posted about it in the 45 section. Some purist found a lot of problems with it but I'm a fan. I really like what he's done.

Laura and I talked about my dilemma. She suggested I sell the 45LV and the 40 and get an 80. After a lot of deliberation, I just can't bring myself to sell the 40 so I'll be selling the 45LV after Logan's Run. :(

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
 
So if you sell the LV, can you keep the 40 and get an 80?
If you get the 80 now you will have it all ready for Kate when she starts driving, ask Eric;)

Wait, wait, wait!

Just hold on a second there!

In my head that wasn't supposed to happen until I had built up my LC fund again. Then I would hand you a stack of bills. You'd hand me keys and we'd both drive away through a rainbow's arch with silly grins on our faces.
 
BIG DISLIKE>....

Sell the 40 and keep the LV.....

And if you do that the 40 could come back "home" to Rice. :D

On the other hand Natalie thinks the LV looks really cool.
She said "you should get it".
I said, "we have no place to keep it".
Then she really blew me away with "Then let's buy another house"
 
Seems like she just called "check mate"... U took her queen but she may have won the match.

It's a win/win technically, but those will be some awfully big checks to write all at once

Oh yeah, she's a keeper :princess:
 
This is very sad to hear, David. I know this is a tough decision for you, but I'm glad you are doing right by the family. On a brighter note, it sounds like we might be keeping the girl in the family, so to speak.
