OP;


Sell! Do your cost benefit analysis, remember the principle of "Time value of Money"?

Post #4 "No and yes" = Is an oxymoron.


Def: Time value of money-Money in the present is worth more then the same sum of money to be received in the future.

Def: Oxymoron- A figure of speech in which apparently contradictory terms.


Many thanks,

Ray

In terms of how I figure it; "Time value," I went in knowing that it (my C7) would cost me $250,000.00, perhaps more in time value.

As a lifetime saver and investor, I realized the costs up front. Many ppl don't analyze this aspect of when they spend money. I always have.

Is it worth it to you (generic you) paying $250,000.00 for the time value of ownership of a C7 for say 10 years? If the answer is yes, then go ahead with it.

When I considered selling my 1.5 year old 1977 C3 L82, I considered the time value of keeping or selling it. The answer was to sell it. I've made literally hundreds of thousands of dollars over 40 years by investing the sale price into investments. The C3? It would be worth a laughable $20 K in todays dollars. I sold it for $9,300.00 and multiplued that money by 30X+.

Sell it or keep it.
