A slowing economy or recession will bring the secondary market down slightly, but that's it; many luxury buyers will be unaffected by even an economic depression, and they'll snap up the supply of those that are.
If anything, a recession will only raise prices of luxury goods, as the targeted buyers aren't people who need to work for a living.
