Yeah... If I'm spending 4.7 mil on a car, it's gonna be on a Koenigsegg.
If I already had a Koenigsegg (and the ability to liquidate the assets), I might consider it. Right now, I shouldn't liquidate any more large sums of money for at least a couple of years.
You can do whatever the hell you want to do. Even if you did buy a car for that 18 million ridiculous dollars. You would still have the car, and it would still hold a whole whopping lot of value, though finding the right buyer has got to be a bit more difficult. Most people who can afford that car would want one built to their specs and be brand new. I can't imagine someone that can afford an 18 million dollar car buying many used vehicles, except for collecting old ones.
I have assets scattered all over the place with different maturity rates. So, while I can buy pretty much anything I damned well please, I still kinda need assets that generate additional wealth that's easily liquidated.
I suspect that 18 million dollar car will be worth 22 million before long - but, as you noted, liquidating that money isn't going to be easy. Sure, I may have made a 4 mil profit - but realizing that profit is gonna be a whole lot of work.
Alternatively, I could also use it to take loans against it. You can take loans against all sorts of stuff - including stocks and bonds.
And, yeah... There's no such thing as an ugly Koenigsegg. I quite literally would take any of them and be happy with them.
I'm sitting here jamming with Christopher right now, tell us a fun happy easy song to play
