Well good thing some idiot paid that on top of the MSRP. Now his car is still worth $37,995. Congrats buddy. Didn't really spell it out, but I saw the iPhone price cut as depreciated value. Apple got their moneys worth out of consumers on June 29th 2007. Lose half their value huh? Well good thing some idiot paid that on top of the MSRP. Now his car is still worth $37,995.

The cars just aren't made to last that long with that many electronic / "disposable" parts in them. I'm thinking of the difference between an older car that uses a carburetor with no electronics whatsoever and a newer car that requires a 20+ pin connector just to find out basic information. Dunno, this could be completely wrong due to my limited knowledge of cars, but I don't think you'll see many newer cars come back in thirty years as classics. Besides, 99% of cars lose half their value the minute you leave the lot. Mmm... iPhone crappiness. It’s hard to say what will become a classic these days.
