OVERVIEW:
According to investment index, over a ten-year period, up to the second quarter of 2018 super vehicles offered an ROI of 289%. These collective vehicles outperformed other alternative investments within this same period which includes; coins, jewelry, and watches.
But terribly despite this attractiveness, only an elite few have access into these markets.
Some of the barriers to entry into this market include:
- Restricted access: so many of these cars are not sold in open markets, some are only produced in limited small numbers and are only placed for those who are can purchase them. And to be eligible to own the vehicles, the prospective buyers much show a certain level of affluence and this is mostly displayed in the number of cars they own of the same brand or being a member of the vintage fan group.
- High capital requirement: it’s not surprising that cars like this have high initial pay price, and then once bought, they need to be insured, stored and maintained, incurring additional costs before a profit is even realized.
- Expertise: car expertise and knowledge are mostly required in assessing the value of this car. This is because when the vehicles are bought, they need to be inspected by an expert auto technician and having purchase documents verified.
- High transaction cost: the level of transaction costs is driven by either non-transparency and non-liquidity. For the purchase of any of the vehicle, the buyer needs due diligence in conducting verifications, and this is because of a lack of trust. Additionally, the cars are sold at auctions or through private sales which make them difficult to accurately ascertain the current and correct market value. Hence, hurting both buyers and seller,
- Limited diversification: these cars have to be purchased outrightly, even highly qualified buyers or investors cannot afford to own many collectible vehicles, and are thus highly risky.
