[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 145926, member: 1632"] Hi Peter, I have a bit more than a passing interest in cars and I can tell you that the market is strong. After initial hiccups at the beginning of the pandemic prices have been steady. In fact lesser makes and models have gained modest ground as they have been pulled along by upper market prices. What has taken a dip are projects. Buyers are interested in buying what is up and running ready to drive or show. The idea that you can buy an abandonded or partially finished project on the cheap, get it finished, and move it on for a profit is over. In the classic car world if you are doing a project you are doing it for the love of the vehicle. The cost of having it done negates you making profit. If you are doing it yourself and figure your time in, you are working for peanuts. Cars up for sale now have been around for awhile and have been cared for and sparingly used. I can only guess that people doing projects now are doing them because they want to have and use the car for an extended period of time, rather than flip it quickly. [/QUOTE]
