They may not depreciate at the same rate as most cars, and in some cases they may actually be worth more than their purchase price at some point.

The transition from internal combustion engines (ICE) to electric vehicles (EV) is happening right before our eyes. Some automotive manufacturers are moving faster in this transition than others. Others are taking a more conservative approach. I believe this is the smarter play. So it’s wise for a company like Kia to slowly move from ICE to EV and in doing so this means introducing more hybrids and more plug-in hybrids. Hybrids are the middle ground between these two technologies.

Is the Aviator part of Lincoln's comeback story?
The handsome-looking ’36 Ford Tudor sedan you see on this page is owned by Darlene Hickman. Does that name ring a bell? If so, it may be because I did a story about her husband Jack’s 1960 Chevrolet on May 3, 2020. I hadn’t seen Jack or Darlene since I wrote that story. They came up to my TKCS-STL booth at the recent VFW Car Show in Collinsville, Illinois. Jack asked if I remembered him because I did that story on his Bel Air and of course I did remember him at that point. He informed me that Darlene now had a toy of her own, directing my attention to the car seen here. I had to go take a look at it and when I did, I was amazed to find, well, I was going to say mild custom, but it was far from that!
