Well I like my cars and make no shakes at hiding the fact that I follow the Porsche marquee.
Now yes I'm not stupid - honest ! I know there is a huge difference between a Porsche and a Peugeot, but I'm not comparing engines or badges, I'm comparing BEAUTY as we have seen recently on the " curves topic " !
There is no denying that the design of the RCZ ( all of them ) is beauty in masculine and feminine quantity, hence why so many women drive the cars.
I have said before, what we once considered just plain ol cars of the early eighties, are fetching high prices for clean examples, and that's whats left now cos of people not different to us who cherish their cars and others who use for daily transport etc. It's mainly the good ones which are and will continue to be maintained, that will demand high prices.
Look at cars which are just plain ugly yet demand high prices because no-one bought them and consequently are now rare. It takes the wealthy to take an interest and sit on in his / her collection and others follow. We are lucky not only do we have a beautiful car that has proved itself to be worthy of all the accolades it has picked up since it's launch, there is the added bonus of the racing R developed by Peugeot Sport. Read what the Peugeot CEO is saying in a recent statement and he mentions going head to head with the likes of Porsche with another Sport derived Pug.
And that may be the car to temp RCZ ers to change - if it isn't 7 figures !
But and I think this will be true, there will always be a diehard group of owners who keep their car just because they like it and don't care what it's resale value is.
Just remember if we bought RCZ's for investment we should have bought gold bars or sovereigns , but Peugeot did us all a favour when they chopped the Z.
