How I drive exotic cars without losing money. Most cars depreciate, but if you buy the right car at the right time, you can often sell for what you paid or even turn a profit. Here's some cars I've done with. First, my best example, my twenty eighteen nine eleven Tier. Paint to sample, brace racing green. Manual, bucket seats, carbon brakes. I just sold it for a 50 ks profit after twelve months, 1,700 miles. I regret selling it. My 2022 Lamborghini Huracan Evo. I spec'd best new from the factory and sold it for about what I paid for it three years later. Break even, no regrets. My nineteen ninety eight nine eleven Carrera S. September generation and last of the air cold cars. Blue interior, wide body, hardback seats, six speed. This one will continue to appreciate. I'm holding and enjoying. My 2016 Cayman Tier, six speed bucket seats, perfect driver's car. I purchased it for 98,000 and sold it for 102,000 after ten months and 1,500 miles. My 2010 Lotus Exige S260, less than 100 of these exist in North America. I bought it for 86,000 and sold for 81,200 after twenty four months and multiple track days. That's an average cost of about $200 a month to enjoy it. Yes, best, I know. There's still worst like gas, insurance, and maintenance. It's not to get rich. It's my way of enjoying cars without losing tons of depreciation. This doesn't work for all exotics though. Some just keep depreciating. I follow enthusiast sentiment, buy cars that are end of an era, limited, and good specs. Keep buying near the bottom of the depreciation curve, you can drive a dream car and preserve your money. I love cars, but I hate losing money. Win win.
