SVX Value

Something akin to this happened in the late 1980's in collector car circles. A few major collector car dealers bought up most of the available "choice" cars, then took turns "bidding" on the cars with no actual sales taking place. Cars would be advertised as "valued at" a high figure, based on bids. This lasted only a short while because eventually they really wanted to sell their cars. The inflated collector car market took a dive and lots of poor, unsuspecting investors took a beating. Classic cars and collector cars can be good investments, but any "coming classic" is pure speculation. Your best bet is to drive and enjoy the SVX as long as you can keep it running and in safe driving condition. Seldom do we see a car that was a poor selling new car later become a collector car. It happens, but rarely.
