DeTomaso Mailing List: February 00, Message #106

Alrighty here's the votes for the best new car investment under 50K or
so.
I don't know if all these cars qualify for new cars around 50k,I didn't
check.
What really matters is this is the voice of the people and their free
choices,thanks vets.)
Thanks to all who responded,true fans of motor sport.
====================================================
Total responses-11 out of almost 400.
this tells me what?
 That over 300 people drew a blank when trying to think of a new car
that would go up in value.
IMHO,either a car is so good that no matter how many miles it has it is
still good
 or
it has little or no miles which makes it a freak and any car that isn't
driven for 20 years qualifies.
Without further ado,here are the results so far,

Cars with more than one vote-

1.Mustang Cobra-3 votes

2.tied at 2 votes-
  Audi TT
  BMW Z3
  Chevrolet Corvette/C5
  Dodge Viper 
  Miata(two of them)
  A kick ass restored Pantera(these are guys that answer first,read
instructions     later;)

3.A to Z-
  SS Camaro  
  Delorean
  Dodge Prowler
  Supercharged 85 Stang
  Porsche Boxer
  Shelby America

Still keeping score,feel free to respond anytime,enjoy every day!
