Buying Supercars as Investments? | FUEL FOR THOUGHT

Supercars have become an asset class, with many making their buying decisions based on investment potential. Join me for a Fuel For Thought on the topic and some opinions from my perspective about the future, my own cars and new models being released.

My Fuel For Thought, or FFT video series has always been an opportunity to share more from my experience of the automotive world and a common topic throughout my entire period working in the industry has surrounded the financial aspect of the supercar market. The last two decades have seen an unusual change in the norm when it comes to depreciation, or in some cases appreciation, of special and limited edition cars which may perhaps now be coming to an end.

From car flipping, to the rapid introduction of new models, let me share some of my own feelings about the investment market of cars in general and what it might mean going forwards with the simultaneous situations of a growing number of such cars being produced, along with potential restrictions for how they are even used.

Thanks for watching, Tim

Shmee is once again proving his best trait, being connected to his community. Keep it up, Tim

[Shmee]

It's been a while since my last FFT, but the series is back! A regular theme of questions throughout my time on YouTube has surrounded car flipping and investing in supercars, while we've been through a bizarre decade with values. Here are some of my thoughts!

Shmee just making life better for everyone in these tough times..


Love All the way from India

I feel like shmee spends more time with his cars than staying in his house .

[hugocornille]

So interesting, I didn't even realize it was 20min long

[teslaaddict]

Love how Shmee can just talk for 20 minutes with nearly one take!! Best in the industry right here

[Mr_Pickles_]

I really appreciate the in depth FFT on this topic. With all the restrictions being put into place, this video is important.

[dillons_cars]

Have to love the classic ''Hi guys, I'm Shmee''

[davidnicholson]

Non-unicorn supercars are like boats: sporadically great to own and experience, but ultimately a terrible financial decision.

[gregggraves]

Hey Tim. Such a joy to live vicariously through your channel.

[thomasthornton]

Good video. Tim you're more realistic than most people who are buying supercars

[TheCarGuysTV]

Chapter markers and manually placed adverts for the last week's Shmee videos. What a good idea.

Title: Fuel for thought, "Buying Supercars as investments."
Me: Sounds like bad fuel for those thoughts.

[dr.go-fast]

true car enthusiasts never sees a car as an investment....end of discussion!

[Billywoo]

Your personal opinion and perspective is of huge value Shmee. It is impartial and balanced, irrespective of what your are actually ‘holding’ at the time. This is why we keep coming back, in my humble opinion. Keep it going!

[MrSoundgoodizerz]

Love these videos! Some of your best content you do is you just sharing your knowledge with the fans

[mosanso]

It's a gamble when it comes to increasing in value of cars. A great deal is dependent on taste and social opinion

[thehayagale]

Shmee teaching better economics than my professor 😂




Love All the way from India

You have probably got one of the best YouTube car collections

I really appreciate how Shmee can talk for almost 20 minutes without jumpcuts, unlike other channels that can't even string 5 words together before a cut. Makes it so much more enjoyable to listen to.
