Hagerty 10-year prediction for DeLorean

[DMC1890]

I just saw this in my Hagerty newsletter (https://www.hagerty.com/articles-vid...24/predictions) predicting 10-year prices of 50-65K.

My bet is they will do better than that.

50-65K is now reality just 5 years in. (2017-2022)

True enough. I remember seeing this thread.

Straight from the article: "Because the Gen-Xers who grew up with such television landmarks as Magnum P.I. and movies like Back to the Future are going to hit their peak earning years in the next decade, and you know what they’re going to want."

To me, that translates into higher demand, which could drive the prices higher.

This is me, so when I bought my car in 2013, I figured the cars would at least hold value throughout my generation's curve, but what I didn't count on was the strong interest from Millennials. Now with the possible re-emergence of the car and brand, who knows where it will lead for our car's value in the future.

I know this, I have seen the marque's elevation in spectator opinion just since I owned the car. Part of that is a noticeable increase in the quality of the fleet at car shows, and that is partially a function of the increase in the car's value.

All good things IMO.

Funny how a lot of people determined the reason for the increase in value is the movie. I think the movie definitely makes the car more “known”, but I don’t think it influences buying the car. I like this car because of the styling, doors, SS skin and engine placement. (In that order) The movie had no effect on me buying the car. Being more “known” is almost a detriment to me. But I did buy the car to drive. I suppose people that buy for a collection or investment have different motivations.

Are Yellow Camaro’s going to sell in the future as kids growing up watching transformers age?

I also bought my D without the movie aspect affecting my purchase. When the cars were announced, I said "Someday I will own one". I was lucky to get mine for 15 K before the value shot up. Don't think I would have bought the car at today's prices.

The movie does make most people know it's a DeLorean and they love getting a photo with the car.

Well, I don't know. What I do know is that I love the 1969 Camaro, and when I heard GM was retro-styling the 5th generation after the '69, I wanted one. The appearance of the car on the 2007 Transformers movie sealed the color that I wanted.






Apparently this 2010 Camaro SS Transformers edition makes #4 on this list:

The car already gets compliments, but I mostly enjoy driving it.

Based on what?

I'll be absolutely floored if they hit 50k.
