Like when a house is from $419K to $439K, why the 20K difference, are they chucking in dental or steak knives?
Basically, what a house can get is what somebody wants it enough to pay. Two years ago I made an offer of more than I thought a fair price could be on a place I liked and somebody topped me by $20K. Funnily enough, I later bought a larger and more practical house on a similar size large block nearby for $55K less than my offer on the first one...
Cars are the same. It can go anywhere if you find a keen collector. In 1983 I bought a car for $60k and sold it in 1987 for $86K. Admittedly it was an uncommon Porsche model. Generally however cars go down and fast,
(I wish I still owned the 1969 Bathurst model Monaro HK 327 I had from 1969 to 1975 though - to sell now.)
