Demand for cars from the sixties and seventies remains high (question of the month)
The tastes and preferences of classic car buyers have changed, you can read everywhere. Young cars are now more in demand. Is that really true? We wanted to find out from Zwischengas readers and asked them to name the year of manufacture of their next classic car in a " question of the month" .
Around 260 readers took part in the small survey and 28.8% of them are not planning to buy another/another classic in the foreseeable future. That still leaves 70.8% who have a purchase in mind in the near future (0.4% could not answer anything).
Of these 70.8%, 16.0% (absolute) prefer a car built between 1970 and 1979 and 15.2% a car built between 1960 and 1969. 31.2% or around 44% of potential buyers are therefore looking for a classic from the sixties or seventies.
This is followed by 11.3% of vehicles built between 1980 and 1989 and 10.9% of younger cars built between 1990 and 1999.
As many as 7.8% are pre-war classics (up to 1939), while a further 7.4% are post-war classics (built between 1940 and 1959).
By contrast, only 2.3% of Zwischengas readers want to buy very young cars (built in 2000 or later).
Two conclusions can be drawn, namely that there is still a considerable desire to buy classic cars and that cars from the sixties and seventies are most in demand. However, one must be aware that the statistical relevance of this small survey should not be overestimated.
Here is a graphic representation of the results:
The next "question of the month" has already been posed: Do you drive classic/youngtimers yourself?
And of course you can still read all the previous evaluations of the questions of the week and the monthin the corresponding topic channel, as we have already exceeded the number of 250 such surveys.
