HI All, Interesting to hear about the new kits that may be coming to market. I did wonder what the effect of that may be on our existing ones? Change the resale value? Raise awareness at least?
I have built two (and a half) Kits. But I wondered who would buy and build them? I personally used my 2+2 that I built as a regular car and commuted in it since 2001. And then the coupe also when finished off. We have now retired and we do not need 2 (or 3) regular cars anymore. I plan to keep mine on the road and use them at this point. I also have a very impractical Blackjack Avion for fine days. I note that the trend in Kits is for the more outrageous and impractical kits to keep their value and more practical ones to behave like production cars and devalue. I have certainly been offered as much as it cost to build for my Avion and I think with a bit of effort I could get a some more. It has been a sore topic of discussion just how little Q’s seem to be worth secondhand. Certainly a lot less than their non-rusting practicality. I did for a while consider selling all three of my kits and building one other as a replacement. In the end I decided that cars are not the place to put any money in retirement and I would spend on other things and keep what I had serviceable with slow-time rebuilds, using SORN to keep costs down.
