WEBVTT - At The Money: Building A Car Collection

0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcasts, radio news.

0:00:19.400 --> 0:00:25.360
<v Speaker 2>Are you passionate about cars? Are you interested in collecting, rebuilding, racing,

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:28.840
<v Speaker 2>or showing them? Have you ever considered having more cars

0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:32.240
<v Speaker 2>than you could reasonably drive in a given week or month?

0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:37.880
<v Speaker 2>Classic cars have been appreciating rapidly, and if my emails

0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 2>or anything to go by, quite a few of you

0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:43.680
<v Speaker 2>have caught the fever. If you've ever wondered what it's

0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 2>like to build and own a car collection, well then

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 2>I have the perfect guest for you. Hannah Elliott is

0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 2>the supercar reviewer for Bloomberg. She's been covering cars, the

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 2>auto industry, and exploring car culture for over fifteen years.

0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 2>She also drives in nineteen seventy five Rolls Royce Silver Shadow.

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.880
<v Speaker 2>So Hannah, let's start broadly. How does a person who's

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 2>passionate about cars find themselves with a collection. Is this

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:15.680
<v Speaker 2>an ill advised idea?

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 3>That's a great question. I think the quick answer is no,

0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:25.679
<v Speaker 3>it's not an ill advised idea. If you like cars

0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 3>and you want to have joy in your life, buy

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:32.160
<v Speaker 3>an old car, buy a vintage car. It's fun. Now.

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:36.200
<v Speaker 3>If you are hoping to that this is going to

0:01:36.400 --> 0:01:39.560
<v Speaker 3>bring you a lot of money along time down the road.

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 3>Probably not the best investment class, but there are a

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:45.960
<v Speaker 3>lot of other values that you get from owning old

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 3>cars that aren't just about the money.

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.800
<v Speaker 2>So, since you brought up the money, what separates a

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:56.720
<v Speaker 2>passion project from an asset class for the average car

0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:59.680
<v Speaker 2>guy or car gal? Is this a hobby or is

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:00.520
<v Speaker 2>this an investment?

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.919
<v Speaker 3>For the average person, this is a hobby for sure.

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 3>There are a lot of expenses associated with owning old

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 3>cars on top of the initial purchase price that you know.

0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 3>Of course, you've got to think about storage, You've got

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:16.239
<v Speaker 3>to think about insurance, you've got to think about maintenance, repairs, gas. Obviously,

0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 3>there are lots of things that are going to come up.

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.120
<v Speaker 3>I think it's important to think of it as a relationship.

0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 3>This is a give and take thing. There may be

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 3>a little bit of dysfunction. It's not just going to

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.919
<v Speaker 3>be you know, right off into the sunset and you

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 3>pay upfront and you never pay again. For most people, yes,

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 3>it's a hobby. It costs money, but you have a

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 3>lot of fun.

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 2>So where does one begin. Do you go with the

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 2>models that excite you, or do you try and pick

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 2>those cars that are going to appreciate over time.

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 3>For somebody just getting involved in owning old cars, I

0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:54.240
<v Speaker 3>would really strongly recommend you buy things that you genuinely like.

0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:58.960
<v Speaker 3>Buy things that genuinely excite you. Sometimes, if you're really lucky,

0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 3>maybe those things will retain their value. Maybe they will

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.800
<v Speaker 3>even gain value over years if you hold something for

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.960
<v Speaker 3>a long time. But here's the thing. If you buy

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 3>something that you really like, even if it loses a

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:12.920
<v Speaker 3>bit of value over the years, you still get the

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:17.800
<v Speaker 3>value of owning something that you genuinely like. Whereas if

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 3>you buy something simply because you think it might gain value,

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 3>if it loses value, you're kind of out because you

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 3>didn't necessarily like it and you didn't make a lot

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 3>of money on it, So it's kind of a lose lose.

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 3>At least, if you buy something you like, you know

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:32.960
<v Speaker 3>you will enjoy it, and if you make a little

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 3>money on top to even better.

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk budgets. What do you need to become a

0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 2>hobbyist and what are some of the costs that you

0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:42.600
<v Speaker 2>should budget going forward.

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:46.360
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I would like to say there is a vintage

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 3>car for every price point. You can buy an old

0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 3>Porsche now I'm not going to say an air cooled

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 3>nine to eleven. But you can buy an old Porsche

0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 3>from a swap meet in Pomona, California for eight grand

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 3>ten grand. It's gonna need some work, but you know,

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 3>I buy old rolls choices. I have bought them for

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:12.240
<v Speaker 3>ten grand. Now that maintenance costs a little bit more

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 3>on that, and we can talk about that, but I

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:17.039
<v Speaker 3>just want to illustrate there is an entry price point

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:21.919
<v Speaker 3>for every budget, of course, and I would say I

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 3>don't think there's necessarily a correlation between spending a lot

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.240
<v Speaker 3>of money and having a lot more fun on a

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.840
<v Speaker 3>car that's perfect, and spending less money and you're gonna

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 3>have less fun and the car's gonna need a lot

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.400
<v Speaker 3>of work. There's not necessarily a correlation. You can spend

0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.920
<v Speaker 3>a lot of money on something and it's not great

0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 3>to drive and it requires a lot more maintenance. Obviously,

0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:45.719
<v Speaker 3>registering a car is a one time thing. Insuring a car,

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.040
<v Speaker 3>there are many vintage cars insurers like Haggerty for instance,

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 3>that have pretty great insurance policies, and you can even

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.920
<v Speaker 3>get less expensive insurance policies on classics if you don't

0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 3>because you don't drive them as much because they're not

0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 3>daily drivers. So it's worth going with a insurance provider

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 3>that specializes in classic cars that will charge you less.

0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.680
<v Speaker 2>When people used to ask me for suggestions for a

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:13.120
<v Speaker 2>fun car to start with, I used to say, hey,

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:16.400
<v Speaker 2>check out the Honda S two thousand convertible stick shift,

0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 2>ton of fun. But those have been appreciating, So now

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:24.000
<v Speaker 2>the answer I give people is find a well sorted

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 2>out Mazda Miyada, also with a convertible, a stick shift.

0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.880
<v Speaker 2>So much fun for so little money, and you could

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:32.840
<v Speaker 2>go from there if you want.

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.359
<v Speaker 3>You know what, As you said, Mazda Miyada, I was

0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:41.719
<v Speaker 3>typing Mazda Miata, so we are completely tracking. You're so right.

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:45.560
<v Speaker 3>It's it's such a fun car. Parts are readily available.

0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 3>It's very predictable. You know, it's not gonna need a

0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:52.560
<v Speaker 3>lot of maintenance. You can get a manual and I'm

0:05:52.600 --> 0:05:55.520
<v Speaker 3>looking right now on Haggardy's price values. You can get

0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 3>one and driving condition for eighty one hundred dollars.

0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.719
<v Speaker 2>That's amazing. You get a nice one for ten twelve

0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars. They're very reliable, they're very tossible. It's just

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:09.000
<v Speaker 2>a beautifully balanced car. And they have some history. That's

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:13.960
<v Speaker 2>the car that sort of brought back the resurgence in convertibles.

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.640
<v Speaker 2>So the other question I wanted to ask is how

0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:20.800
<v Speaker 2>important is it to have a theme or a focus

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:25.039
<v Speaker 2>for your interest or collection. And I ask that knowing

0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 2>your husband specifically collects air cooled nine to elevens from

0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 2>the sixties and seventies. Some people have a broad assortment,

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.799
<v Speaker 2>like Jay Leno, But for the average person thinking about

0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 2>adding a car or two, where.

0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.760
<v Speaker 3>Do they go? You know, it's nice to have a

0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:46.480
<v Speaker 3>theme or a focus because it creates efficiencies. For instance,

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:50.600
<v Speaker 3>if you have a great mechanic who works on your Mercedes,

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:54.520
<v Speaker 3>he'll be able to take on more Mercedes vehicles, Whereas

0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:58.039
<v Speaker 3>if you bring him something else a Miata, for instance,

0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 3>there may not be as much of It's kind of

0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.040
<v Speaker 3>nice to have a specialist. You know, I've also got

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.320
<v Speaker 3>a seventy seven C three Corvette. You know that car

0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:08.960
<v Speaker 3>goes to one guy, The rolls Royces go to another guy,

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 3>the Porsches go to another guy. So when you do

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:14.760
<v Speaker 3>have a theme, it creates more efficiencies. You can send

0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 3>them all to the same person to work on him.

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 3>You can swap parts. That's also a nice efficiency. Also,

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:26.560
<v Speaker 3>you can get involved more deeply in the local culture

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.360
<v Speaker 3>of whatever that make is, which is really fun because

0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:32.720
<v Speaker 3>when you start talking to other people who own similar makes,

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.240
<v Speaker 3>or even if you're just going to say all British

0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:39.800
<v Speaker 3>cars or all you know Alfa Romeos for instance, you

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:43.040
<v Speaker 3>kind of it's fun to get involved in a culture

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.360
<v Speaker 3>that focuses on that thing. You talk to old timers

0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.640
<v Speaker 3>who have a wealth of knowledge who can give you tips,

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 3>You start to learn who the trusted mechanics are. It

0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:56.400
<v Speaker 3>just makes it easier. So I do really like the

0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.960
<v Speaker 3>idea of having a particular theme to it.

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.600
<v Speaker 2>So you men earlier the local car community or the

0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 2>enthusiast community. How important is it to get involved with

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:10.480
<v Speaker 2>your local bing MW or mead or Porsche club in

0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:11.280
<v Speaker 2>your neighborhood.

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 3>It's important. I think it's a nice value added thing

0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:18.400
<v Speaker 3>to get involved with other like minded enthusiasts in your

0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:23.560
<v Speaker 3>era I think area. I think you know that is

0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:27.000
<v Speaker 3>some of those clubs can be really picky, of course,

0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:28.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm thinking of Rolls Royce people.

0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:29.400
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:32.400
<v Speaker 3>I sort of deliberately avoid some of the Rolls Royce

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:36.560
<v Speaker 3>clubs in Los Angeles because those guys are They know

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 3>their stuff, which is great and not great. They I

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:42.720
<v Speaker 3>don't drive mint conditioned cars, so you know, they certainly

0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:46.319
<v Speaker 3>are friendly. But they also can tell me everything that's

0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:50.480
<v Speaker 3>wrong with the car. So you know, I tried. It's useful,

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:54.200
<v Speaker 3>it's useful. The broader answer is yes, of course, get involved.

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.880
<v Speaker 3>The more people you have around you, Hey, at some

0:08:56.960 --> 0:08:59.320
<v Speaker 3>point you're going to break down, you need to phone

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 3>a friend, and triple A is great, but you know,

0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 3>you just want people around you who are a network,

0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:08.520
<v Speaker 3>a support network. They'll lead you to again, the right mechanic,

0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:10.840
<v Speaker 3>the right place to find a part. Maybe you end

0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:13.800
<v Speaker 3>up getting a second car, and the same theme. They're

0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:16.560
<v Speaker 3>gonna they're going to know who wants to trade, who

0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.400
<v Speaker 3>wants who can you know, lead you down a path

0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.120
<v Speaker 3>deeper down the rabbit hole of whatever your drug of

0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:22.680
<v Speaker 3>choice is.

0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:26.600
<v Speaker 2>And you mentioned garages, but there are other options for

0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.760
<v Speaker 2>storing a car. It's not just your own garage. What

0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:31.400
<v Speaker 2>are some of the other storage car clubs.

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.680
<v Speaker 3>Car clubs can be a little bit expensive, but again

0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:39.559
<v Speaker 3>it's an investment in the hobby. There are many car clubs.

0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.560
<v Speaker 3>I just know Manhattan and LA because that's where I live.

0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 3>But there are some great car clubs, of course, across

0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:48.760
<v Speaker 3>the south. In Arizona. Car clubs are great because again

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.120
<v Speaker 3>you pay a price per month for them to store

0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:54.000
<v Speaker 3>your car. Often they will also maintain the car for

0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:57.040
<v Speaker 3>you in house, which is a great benefit. And again

0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.880
<v Speaker 3>you get exposed to similar people, like minded enthusiasts who

0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:03.160
<v Speaker 3>are keeping their cars there. It's all, at the end

0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:06.640
<v Speaker 3>of the day, about building this community of people, friends,

0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 3>colleagues who enjoy what you enjoy.

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.080
<v Speaker 2>So you mentioned Haggarty and you mentioned bring a trailer.

0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:17.560
<v Speaker 2>What other resources should potential car collectors know about.

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:20.199
<v Speaker 3>The third one that comes to mind is K five hundred,

0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 3>which is an index that Simon Kitson runs out of England.

0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:29.240
<v Speaker 3>Very good on really high end. Now this is like

0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.880
<v Speaker 3>an advanced move K five hundred. You need a membership

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:38.280
<v Speaker 3>to subscribe, but again they have amazing data on values, trends, history,

0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:43.080
<v Speaker 3>They will have specific pedigrees and lineages of particular cars.

0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.440
<v Speaker 3>This is for the really high end stuff. But I

0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:48.240
<v Speaker 3>also look at K five hundred just as educational. They've

0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:51.840
<v Speaker 3>got they cover all of the auctions, they've got analysis,

0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:56.640
<v Speaker 3>they've got experts. Steve Wakefield is Simon Kitson's sort of

0:10:56.640 --> 0:10:59.600
<v Speaker 3>top analyst. Those guys are really great. They're out of England.

0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 3>I recommend it ever.

0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Play with auto Tempest as a web sole now. So

0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:06.760
<v Speaker 2>it's just a giant relational database that lets you search

0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:11.640
<v Speaker 2>for any year or group of years for any marquee

0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:14.920
<v Speaker 2>and specific car and specific variants, and then you can

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 2>refine that search for all. Right, show me just the convertibles.

0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.320
<v Speaker 2>I want to see, just the cars with the sticks.

0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Just show me this color and it really allows you

0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 2>to hone in and it pulls in stuff from tons

0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.320
<v Speaker 2>and tons of other celles Auto Tempests auto Tempests. So

0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 2>last question, let's talk about documentation. How important is it

0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:38.480
<v Speaker 2>to make sure that you're not only getting clear title,

0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.720
<v Speaker 2>but seeing the service history of any vehicle you're thinking

0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:42.480
<v Speaker 2>about purchasing.

0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 3>I think it's important. Obviously, you want to make sure

0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.680
<v Speaker 3>you see the title with the seller's name on the title.

0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.240
<v Speaker 3>For some older cars and race cars, a bill of

0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:54.240
<v Speaker 3>sale is also used. Some cars don't have titles if

0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.360
<v Speaker 3>they're really old, so a bill of sale is used.

0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.559
<v Speaker 3>If you're buying a car from Europe, that can be

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:03.040
<v Speaker 3>pretty complex to confirm. To transfer a bill of sale

0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:06.280
<v Speaker 3>into like an American style title, so you might want

0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:10.600
<v Speaker 3>to consult a professional about that. The more maintenance records

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:14.720
<v Speaker 3>the better. Obviously, the longer ownership span that a car

0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:18.000
<v Speaker 3>has by a single owner generally the better. You don't

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.640
<v Speaker 3>want a car that's been flipped, you know, every two years,

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.080
<v Speaker 3>because generally that car there's a reason it's being flipped

0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:28.000
<v Speaker 3>and it may not have been maintained so lovingly as

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.840
<v Speaker 3>someone who owned their special baby for twenty years. So

0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 3>the more records you can have, the better.

0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:36.679
<v Speaker 2>So to wrap up, there's a lot of common sense

0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:39.679
<v Speaker 2>involved in this. You don't need a ton of money.

0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.719
<v Speaker 2>You could start with just something very basic like a

0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:47.320
<v Speaker 2>Miata or an old sl but find the cars you

0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 2>really like, do your homework, get to know your local

0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:56.520
<v Speaker 2>enthusiast club or that particular BMW or Porsche club, and

0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:00.400
<v Speaker 2>learn from the experts how to make a good decision

0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:04.400
<v Speaker 2>with a car that will bring you pleasure and maybe

0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:06.520
<v Speaker 2>a little money for as long as you own it.

0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:15.920
