V4junkie Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Not necessarily, but but it adds to cost and shows a level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that people are willing to pay a premium for. So in this case, yes.I'll throw it back at you though:A Honda Civic isn't handbuilt, makes 100hp/liter and will probably last 10x longer than the M3's or the AMG, does that mean it's superior?To the 1mil MB? In value yes. This is apples to oranges. People will pay, that's the bottom line. I wouldn't but other people will. People buy HD, I don't get it, but that doesn't stop them from moving a TON (each) of bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kip Drordy Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 It's more along the lines of why people buy Bimota motorcycles. They're basically a Ducati, trellis frame, Ohlins suspension, Marchesini wheels etc. But, they're handbuilt, only 2/day. And they fetch $200k+. For what?It's the same reason the Mona Lisa is worth a billion dollars or whatever but you can get the copy for $5.Just because you would rather spend your money elsewhere doesn't make it junk.

V4junkie Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 I like the Bimota comparison better tooimHo I just don't like buying something so someone will go "Oooh that's a _(Insert brand name here)_!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V4junkie Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Oh and BTW I won the argument because I owned your rep I'm off to ride, there are valid points in here. I'll spread it around and give some back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustinkz1000 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Even if i had tons of fucking money laying around....i wouldn't buy a car with a million$ price tag. 500-800k would be my limit. I love Lambo's and Ferrari's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
