the problem is that the collector market has made a drastic move towards longer term speculating recently.
what is the current diffeence in value between the handful of sub-20k mile 2002 firehawks that are around and the absolute last one made with 4500 miles on it? not much right now because it is only 5 years old so 4500 miles isn't a very amazing number yet and everyone who is interested in investing knows that the car will change hands 5 more times before it is worth the 35k the guy wants.
if it is a 15+ year old car, 35k is an easy number to get. 5 years old, not so much. maybe the guy will find his sucker, or maybe he will get smart and turn his short term investment around for the 25-27k he shoudl be able to get for it quickly, then move on to the next money making venture.
