I Donated thefultonhow Posted November 5, 2012 I Donated Share Posted November 5, 2012 Spec.B is nothing special - bigger wheels, barely upgraded suspension, and a 6mt with an open diff and no DCCD Don't forget the ricer seats! In all seriousness, though, the Spec.B comes closest to qualifying because it's a limited-production special trim package. I still don't see it appreciating in value, though.

Max Capacity Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 92 Civic, Notice the chipped paint on the wiper arm... FAIL. About the legacy's, lets see I bought my 05 GT Wagon 5mt new for around $28,000.00 last year I put around $3000 into it, this year I put around $7,000 into it. Let alone all the $$$$'s I've put into it in the pervious 6 years. If I keep it another 5 or 6 years, your saying I should be able to get my money back....yea, right. I'm not holding my breath... 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

NSFW Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Speaking of Barrett-Jackson and depreciation... http://www.barrett-jackson.com/application/onlinesubmission/lotdetails.aspx?ln=638&aid=465 That's an Italian coupe with less than 4,000 miles on it, and it still sold for a fraction of the original price. There's no way that a mass-produced Japanese four-door is going to go up in value when cars that like are going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naylor Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I think the 04' STI (and 03' Evo) will be collector cars in the future. If you think about it, they are the 1st USDM Japanese "muscle cars" of their day. Because of that, I think they will be sought after by collectors in the future. Spec B? Maybe within the Subie community, but not really. In the grand scheme of things, the LGT is just another nice car with some balls, but that's about it. Collector car? I think not. I think you nailed on the sti and Evo...pristine low mileage examples should fetch a decent price many years from now. Unfortunately, the LGT won't. OP, seems like an honest question that could have stimulated a decent conversation. Instead it triggered unreasonable douche bag replies...too bad.

Unfortunately, the LGT won't. OP, seems like an honest question that could have stimulated a decent conversation. Instead it triggered unreasonable douche bag replies...too bad. Agreed. It was an honest question. When did I specifically say the LGT will be worth as much as a Supra in value? Never. Supra's have gone up in value over the years. They're discontinued. I was curious to see where the LGT would go. Half this forum is filled w/ childish members. LAGT, hands down. I don't understand why people can't act normal/mature on the internet. A majority of this forum is "too bad." This is honestly worse than Nasioc. ...& I thought the LGT was the "grown up" version of the Sti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosAngelesLGT Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Just ask yourself... Is Chip Foose's kid going to be restoring a 2005 LegacyGT in 35 years? I'm guessing no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosAngelesLGT Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Thats true. He also did a Ford Exploder too. (Season 1 Ep 7) And if you put the words SpiderPig, Chip Foose and Overhauling in the same post again I'm going to send you a bottle of scotch.

Chip Foose's talents seen on Overhauling would pale in comparison to the magical magic of the infamous SpiderPig...as seen on LGT.com Macallan 18 or 30 (if you're feeling generous)...i'll PM you my address ~Sucka-Duck~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Capacity Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hey, FWIW, we got about $6000 more for the yellow civic in my avatar then what I paid for it new in 1992. Problem is really didn't make any money on it. It had more in roll cage and suspension work then sane person would spend on a civic. It was NHRA 25.5 chassis. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Probably 30-35 yrs old. Sits on the internet all day talking sh*t to kids half his age to make himself feel better. Forums are supposed to be a reference/guide to help others. Instead, LAGT trashes any threads he can get at. It gets old after while. Do you really want to continue doing this for the rest of your life? What are you gunna have to say about yourself when you're 70 yrs old? So I sat on the computer my whole life talking sh*t to kids half my age to make myself feel better C'mon man nearly 7k posts?
