The NextGen Guide to Car Collecting : How to Buy, Sell, Live With and Love a Collectible Car

This book offers a concise history of car collecting to present day, guidance on car buying and living the car-collector life, and an overview of collector cars with a focus on cars built from the 1970s through the 1990s while also touching on more contemporary cars. Chapters highlight Japanese, American, and European cars, particularly those models that have experienced the greatest growth in collector interest over the past decade. The NextGen Guide to Car Collecting explores the many ways the Internet and social media have changed the classic car marketplace. You’ll learn how to buy a classic car online without suffering buyer’s remorse, as well as the four critical keys to a happy collector-vehicle relationship: possessing discretionary cash for the initial purchase; obtaining a thorough knowledge of the car and its ownership; the critical pre-purchase inspection; and access to a workspace.
