Oh, no... I don't plan on selling the overwhelming majority.
I also don't plan on selling the overwhelming majority of my other assets, like stocks and bonds.
The cars appreciate faster and more than some of the index funds, bonds, or stocks - even against stocks that pay dividends.
They're a 'store of value', meaning they hold or increase in value. I have no plans to sell most of 'em, but they're just like any other investment to me in those regards.
I just usually think of investments as things that are planned to be sold off for a profit someday. If I have something I intend to keep and never sell, I don't care how much other people think it's worth
Oh, investments like this are awesome. I could easily take loans against them at like 1 or 2% while the cars actually increase at 7 to 13%. It's basically free money.
My house is also a store of value, though I have no expectations of selling it.
I suppose there is some way that you could exploit that appreciation over the interest but then you would have to find another car!
And my house value to me is basically in the fact of having a home to lay my head in, the monetary value that it holds will matter to my kids a lot more than me, after I am gone off this mortal coil
