Can The Fisker Now Be Considered One Of The Worst Investments Ever?

The Fisker Karma, one of the most beautiful cars of the 21st century, can now be purchased for a 60% discount online.

Fisker Automotive has stopped production of its cars, fired three quarters of its workforce in April, and appears headed for bankruptcy.

The sticker price on the Karma is $102,000, but they are selling for a lot less on eBay.

There were 26 Fisker Karmas for sale on the site as of Tuesday afternoon, according to numbers provided to Business Insider by eBay Motors.

Well, I wouldn't recommend investing in cars. I usually like to keep my money in index funds.

With the bankruptcy of A123, it shows what happens when you have a single source supplier of your main component. Fisker had a great design, but it seemed to stop there with little thought into the what actually makes a sustainable business model. Elon Musk over at Tesla appears to have it right. I agree, I wouldn't want to be a Fisker "investor" right now as the batteries will have a limited lifespan, driven or not.
