Gift Box Goodies?

[GUSTOPP2]

Quick question. I am looking at a GT350 to replace my PP2.. One I have found seems great except he does not have any of the Goodies that you get when you buy one. I instantly was bothered as with a car such as this I want all that stuff for personal reasons and for possible resale in the future. Would you care? Am I over thinking this or the value it is to me. I know it is a personal preference but curious what others think.

For me it’s not a big deal. The jury’s still out weather it will make much of a difference in resale value.
It may make a difference way down the road, I don’t think so in the near future.
When I’m driving my car I’m never thinking about the goodie box ;-)
Others will disagree I’m sure.

I’m with you. I got mine in the mail, took it out of the box to check it out, then put it right back in the box and into long term storage.

I’m treating it like a window sticker that accompanies a classic car. Is it cool that it was saved and still exists? Yeah! Is it important or does it make me enjoy the car more? Not really.

I wouldn’t sweat it. The car is what you’re paying for, not the goodie box with the FPC paperweight. You won’t regret the purchase!

Lol! Ok there is that part of me that says I don't give a rats ass either but damn. I hate fighting myself but I think wanting the goodies side is winning my head battle. And yes I am going to drive it drive it. Like 7k plus miles a year more than likely and THAT is the part of me that thinks even if it makes a difference it will only matter with low milage pristine investment grade GT350's.

Well nothing really as far as ownership but a nice piece to display on fireplace or office shelf. I don't know.

I think it is an important part of the car's history and flabbergasted by how many of these Owner's Supplement kits go missing or are sold for a few bucks on Ebay.

For me it's a part of the car's unique pedigree. I personally would want it. But I am a collector by nature. Original boxes, documentation complete me and help tons toward a sale if I'm the buyer.

Buy the car. Forget about the toys. The GT350 Owners' Supplement is a lot like the leather flying jacket to USAF pilots...Who cares? Now missing out on the FPRS GT350 Track Attack is a completely different issue.
