Simon Andersson from Piteå recently bought his first used Corvette from 1974.
- It is the sound that attracts above all, and I think they are delicious and unique compared to today's cars, he says.
Higher average price of sports cars
Used sports cars are also sold faster this year.
In June 2020, a sports car was sold for 9 days, compared with 25 days in June 2020. Andreas Strid is a car dealer in Stockholm and sees a clear "home holiday effect".
- Many people are at home instead of going abroad, instead of spending money on trips abroad or holiday homes, they think about how to work at home.
Marcus Johansson in Stockholm is one of those who has not spent money on trips abroad and he has decided to buy a sports car before the turn of the year.
- You have been home for a year and a half and have not been able to travel in the same way.
You test things that you have not done before, and somewhere you want to spend more money on yourself, says Marcus Johansson.
