I talked with a lot of sellers, made good offers etc, one bloke said "I agree its crashed, but most people with high dollar classics dont need the money".
A fair point and the exact attitude i came up against multiple times.

Yes so you need to find the seller that is holding on for no good reason, a bloke selling one of multiple cars sitting in the shed probably doesnt care much.

Cars are the start, it will be interesting to see where this all goes but people for the moment seem to be hanging on. I dont know how in some cases.

^This all day long^
Most of the enthusiasts I know don't spend any time worrying about the perceived value of their cars, they own them outright and are just busy enjoying them for what they are, a piece of nostalgia and escapism.

For me parts have slowed down alot. I had a stocktake and clearout recently. I listed up a heap of hard to find Cortina GT stuff at cheap prices (I'm happy to help out others with projects)
I haven't had a single bite on things that would have flown out the door a couple of years ago. I'm also noticing alot of other bits sitting online for weeks or until the ads presumably expire.

All I know is that whatever decision I take (buy or sell), the market goes in the opposite direction 😂

Cheers Adrian
