**Liquidity:** Converting luxury cars into cash is slow, and traditional finance providers do not accept cars as collateral.

**Barriers to Entry:** With unprecedented demand, limited supply, and some big car brands discontinuing popular models, it has become even more challenging to own a collectible car.

**Counterfeiting:** Authenticity is one of the most significant issues in the secondary car market, as there isn't a centralized ledger to check authenticity.

**Pricing Data & Benchmarking:** Prices of pre-owned cars are very opaque, and there is a lack of fair and transparent pricing mechanisms. The price of a vehicle can differ depending on the country, currency, seller, etc., making it difficult for collectors and prospective buyers to know the car's actual value.

**Unlocking Value:** Rare and collectible cars have high demand and resale value but often stay locked behind closed doors and sit idle.
