Lots of great thoughts from you guys ! Adding to the resale value or marketability of my home is not really a concern, as i plan to be here for as long as possible. I don't really have any other interest or hobbies. So i believe i would regret selling the cars more than spending the money to build ? I tend to over think everything ,especially financial stuff. As said ,We don't know where the collector car thing will be in 10/15 years from now? but i'm not sure i really care ? Having everything under one roof would just make what i love to do even that much more enjoyable. Probably just not the best time to be building because of the cost that's for sure...

Yes you would regret selling your cars. You can't unring a bell. Seems to me like you already know what you want to do. I do understand that cars are just stuff, but sometimes they are irreplaceable.

Grimpy, if you are thinking about keeping your cars, and you can afford building, then just do it and build. There is litterally no down side to building onto your place.

At this time I have 4 cars. I have 2 car garage at house, so 1 there, and own rental stuff where my single unit will hold 6 plus work space. I like having options and I doing what I want with my stuff.

Go for it buildon. You won't regret it. Now selling off and downsizing?? I can see regrets and seen it happen before.

I think you'll find when everything is at home, you tend to appreciate the cars even more. One of the things I enjoy most about my building at home (aside from having my cars in one spot), is the things I have collected for memorabilia.

In short, it's my happy place. You cannot put a price on that
