WTF? Why is it that every low mileage FD nowadays is an Auto? Those "Investers" back in the 90's were dumbasses.

When the FD came out there were lots of magazine articles talking about its future collectibility. I suspect a lot of non collectors got giddy reading these articles and thought that they would make a killing on it. No real collector would buy a manual if an automatic were available, particularly for a performance car like the FD.

This 'investment' looks particularly bad when you consider that NASDAQ was at 200 back in 1993 and the DOW was at 3000 or so.

See, that is a real collectible if you could come up with the money.
