[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH uses Bring a Trailer. I don't know much about it, but he is stalking a car he had 30 years ago that he wants to just buy and sit in for nostalgic purposes (SMH)

We have a older 911 and the annual cost of maintenance (even tho we drive it less than1000 miles per year) is $2500. It's like money we would spend on a vacation (with nothing tangibleto show for it) so we view it like that. It makes my DH happy. My DH wants another one, so he jokes that he is going to buy me a "matching car", even though it's just his rationalization for another car to sit in the garage (that we don't have room for).

OP - maybe your husband is just rationalizing that it is your car, because otherwise it would make no sense to own it. I would just cut your losses and give the friend the 10% commission. If they do all of the work it's probably worth it.

Owning cars like this doesn't make sense from a strictly financial standpoint, but there are other benefits.

Besides, better to have DH focused on a hobby where he's surround by middle-aged married guys, right?

At least that was one of the justifications I used when we put down a $10k deposit last week on a $120k car.[/quote]

if you can afford to properly maintain them, classic European sports cars are great investments. OP does not actually have a collectors car though, they have a mass-produced suv- I'm guessing a cayenne or G Wagon which both match OPs purchase price [/quote]
