The middle of the market is strong, with prices up an average of 20%. Throw out the BJ high end TATA and BR SE sales, Pontiacs have finally realized their place in the marketplace. The upper end cars are off significantly, with only RM outpacing 2015 results. BJ has an uncanny ability to create high demand.

Well put Doug,

Not a bad investment today and gas prices down. Time to enjoy some fun again!

I disagree. If you're buying at BJ, it's a horrible investment.

The nature of an investment is to eventually sell for more than you bought.
There probably wasn't more than a very small handful out of the hundreds of cars there that would sell (outside of another BJ auction) for more than was purchased.

Missed the point of my post, but that's ok...

Talking about current cars not purchased recently.

Seems to me we were looking at the last hurrah. There is going to be a major correction coming. It will effect everyone. You can't live with a 20 Trillion debt. forever without consequences. When it happens these cars will be worthless during the episode and after the dust settles.

I agree. It's a good time to have or to sell, not a good time to buy.

It was nice to see the Ponchos do well and come into their own at BJ, but that just means that the prices are even further out of reach for the average joe.
