I'm young so therefore that makes me nieve? what a laff. Yes, i collected cards, and i was the one smart enuf to get rid of the card when its value reached its peak, and some are still growing in value. Yes, i agree that some, lose value over time, You can either sell at the first sign of loss which would be the smart thing to do, or you can wait and hope something comes out related, and maybe a boost in price will come along with it. Example, new baseball player, rookie card isnt worth s*** unless he's very good, or until he retires. No im not gonna go out and buy a plate to stick on my car and show production number. But, all im saying its its nice to know, and if ya car happens to be a lower production number, in years to come, it'll be more valuable to some ppl than it will be to others, and just becuz you lost out 7 bucks on a baseballs/comic card or whatever it was, doesn't mean that everything drops in value, oh and you do realize that ur car drops in value the second they hand you over the keys? but with our cars being only 1750 in production compared to thousand and thousands made for other types of cars. Value will decrease when you drive off yes, but increase over time, not by drastic ammounts, but if you went to sell in lets say 3 years, you'd definately be able to get every cent you paid for it. Oh, and its not set in stone, that the 2003.5 are DEFINATELY comming out, just like its not set in stone that they are gonna make a mazdaspeed series for every mazda out. like protege 5 mazda 6 miata. Yes, you may see one or two, but there prototypes. I only foresee mazda making the 03.5 is the 03 were a HUGE enuf sucess that they feel they could mass produce with 4 new colors. to be honost has anyone looked at the car, its ugly. the grounds effects and the wings on the back are so ugly, makes the car look like its a saftey flotation devise rather than ground effects. the whole agressive look is poofed in the 03.5, but hey its all opinion, you buy a car for yourself, not becuz of what other ppl are gonna say and think about it, cuz when it comes down to it. its your car, you baught it for your enjoyment. Oh, and its not a big deal to some ppl i agree'd with you on that factor, I just think its kinda cool, and if ya are a collector its another thing you can ad to your list of mods, my car was 1518 off the production line, thats not saying alot i prolly wouldn't bother, but if i was in top 50 running through a car show or something if i had a board listening my mod's id definately put something like
03 mazdaspeed protege
spicy orange mica
Production Number 10
some ppl think stuff like that is cool. You don't, its not a big deal, collectors, go for rareness in whatever it is, id rather be able to say i was production number 15 of 1750, than to say im 1518 of 1750. a lower number is gonna be alot harder to find then one in the thousands. Just, like the Eclipse in the Orange color. Thats an extremely rare car, and to find the gsx version of that its even more rare, if i found one, id definately try to fork out the cash for it. its like going into a old ladies garage and finding a classic thats just been sitting there for the past 30 - 40 - even 50 years.
There is really nothing more to say here, you dont agree w/ me i dont agree w/ you. No, point in trying to prove eachother wrong, it'll just keep a cycle going. Anyways, take care.
