Preservation

As new cars become more and more expensive driven, inflationary pressures, it has a natural drag on the valuation of cars in the used market, as these cars are now offered at more attractive valuations. In addition, many collectors and enthusiasts value cars for their unique features, design, and craftsmanship that do not feature on newer models, which further adds to their desirability and potential for appreciation.
