    People buy cars that are 20 percent of their net worth?
    Probably lots do, all across the net worth spectrum.

    And that's not even counting all the people who have a negative net worth, which is pretty common.

    Exactly, it's gonna be the same with the new tax. People keep bringing up leasing/ "dealer options" etc, those have been tried and mostly failed in BC.
    Tried and failed?

    Let’s just say the guy in Vancouver who bought my C63 had 2 bill of sales.

    This is now a nation wide problem, the slice of the pie on the table to figure out better options is a whole lot bigger.

    It would actually be quite smart if that 20% is going toward the right car. Specially if your net worth is over $6,000,000.

    I'm not an expert, but something tells me that speculating on the 7 figure supercar market is volatile and - to an extent - illiquid.

    We need to know how it compares to real estate as an asset class. @Buster ?

    too speculative for me. Takes some luck.

    I'll pass

    I'm going to say that having a negative net worth, valued in US dollars in 2021 - Is not entirely bad.

    Liquidity of a movable object, requires that the borders be open. The main selling point of having a car is that its a movable asset. You have to bring buyers to a house, if that house is in an area that just had a 9.0 earthquake - you are SOL. Whereas if you have a car or yacht, you should be able to bring it to a buyer.

    But with border restrictions in place harder than 9/11 and maybe into the forseeable future: A mobile asset might definitely not be as liquid as previously thought. So yes, illiquid.

    The greater question is what is the value of mobility going into the future? As far as I can tell, it could be a 2 Horsepower electric car with AI brain delivering your groceries and pizza to your house for two copper cents worth of electricity. Which may make the traditional car quite a bit less valuable other than as a museum piece as art.

    This being beyond, I can imagine its a hard sell.

    Not really, can you name a hypercar that was over $1,000,000 MSRP that hasn’t appreciated in the last decade? I’m not sure there are any and if there are, it’s only a handful.

    Is that how you pick your stonks? Gone up for the last while, therefore it must continue?

    True.

    Looking at stocks that have gone up (or down) after not buying them at some point in the past is pointless.

    It might not be safe to assume that a combustion supercar dealership will actually be a thing in the future. Never thought I'd see the day a NHL player declare bankruptcy on $49 million either, but these are the times we live in.

    Can you sell a supercar on a newspaper ad? I'm thinking probably not.
