Is it more difficult to sell a car than to buy one?

At the car discussion

The other day, my husband was talking with some people he met through his car hobby, and they had this conversation.

(Excluding economic problems) cars are more difficult and more troublesome to sell than to buy.

And.

Of course, when you buy a new car, you have to worry about which make, model, grade, and specifications to choose, and when you buy a used car, you often spend months staring at used car sales sites because you can't find the specifications you want.They have to make an even more difficult choice when it comes time to sell.

Because, you know, the next car you want, if you want it, you're going to have toI am unwilling to give up the car I have now, and I know I will regret it if I sell it, so I end up concluding that I can't sell it and have no choice but to increase the number of carsFrom.

I wonder if people who have hobbies such as watches and bags, as well as cars, feel that way. I wonder if people who like them are like that.When you buy something, you buy it with a lot of worry and persistence, so it's also difficult to let go of it.It may be.

I am the kind of person for whom one item is enough for most things, and I basically use one bag or purse for a long time and replace it when it falls apart.

About giving away your car.

To my husband.

It's a luxury that it's more difficult to sell, but it's true that I have a house now.911 GT3 Touring, 981 Boxster GTS, 911 (964C2)As for the "what ifs", I think I would regret it if I let any of them go. Personally, I wish they would keep the 981 Boxster GTS, because you can't get that sound in the latest Porsche anymore.

My husband would say.

Yes, it is. It is very difficult to sell any car. Among themI guess I won't be able to let go of my 981 Boxster GTS until the end of my life.
I'm not talking about what you can or can't afford financially.The problems of buying a car and the problems of selling a car are essentially different.I think.
When buying, it's a matter of 'now' - which one to buy, what specifications to choose, but when selling, is now the right time to sell? Will I regret selling this one in the future? Will the next model be better than this one? I think about the 'future'.
I am especially cautious about Porsche, because it may become a popular car in the future and be called a famous car. It is similar to buying and selling stocks.

He said.

There are many ways of thinking about it, but I guess there is a view that can be seen only when you visit that world. Still, the car hobby really is a very deep swamp these days.

    I don't worry about giving it away because I can always buy a car or model that will basically be updated (remodeled).
    On the other hand, if we sell models that can no longer be produced under current standards due to safety and emission control issues, we are prepared to never get them again. We have heard that overseas buyers are setting their sights on Japan. In fact, if they buy them, they will never come back to Japan.

      Indeed, it is more likely than not that you will no longer be able to afford the "last XX" models that have come out, rather than the cars that will come out in the future, and
      It takes a lot of courage to let go.

      I hear that many air-cooled Porsches and other vehicles in good condition have been bought overseas.
      It makes me think a lot.
