Dropped 500+ yesterday. Unemployment figures may come out today, so I expect another wild ride. Call me crazy, but I'd rather buy a nice collectable car or vacation property than stay in the market & watch it continue go south

[/ QUOTE ]I think that was true a few years ago Jude but anymore I think alot of people are buying nothing and just keeping some of their available play money close to home for an emergency. The average guy that has say $25,000 to spend on a car is probably all the money that person has. A few years ago that person would buy that car knowing that his job was fairly secure and he could make more money to replace that. Today if you are not really well off you are not going to plunk down $50-$60,000 on a car if you think that there is any family jeopardy in your future. Most people are certainly not going to go get a loan for that kind of money to buy a non necessary musclecar I don't believe. I assume dealers look at things different than collectors. I buy to keep! The average "Joe The Plummer" here is being hindered by lifes day to day problems and the economy and fear of not knowing whats around the corner. Take it from us we have 4 kids and helped send 3 to college and one to trade school. Its scary out there for the small fry like me. I am being more selective on what I am buying lately.
