Best Porsche as Investment?

Indeed.

Its just like stocks and shares; Past performance is no guarantee of future success.

If I could really predict the future, I wouldnt need to buy an investment car, I could buy anything!!!

Oh well, back to the world of dreams....

A good return on a 40k car in a 'few years'? .......a 924CGTS maybe?

This boat is long gone, I believe Edmund Harris was asking well into 6 figures for his examples earlier this year.

SS7

Maybe just a CGT then?

My rules for a high value collectable car:

1. High profile, international Competition History
2. Looks fabulous
3. Drivable on the road
4. First or last of their type

Knew I should have kept the FRP!

I'm guessing you missed the up to 40 grand part?

You can't have everything

[agtlaw]

buy one of 340 1989 3.2 Club Sports; or
one of 1,858 mark 1 GT3s. preferably with Club Sport option.

LHD is potentially a better investment.

Why LHD?
Is this due to the relatively larger audience?

With the Euro situation i would probably challenge this

[keep it lit]

agree on this.. add Intergrale Evo.

Its seems to me that the GT3 meets these parameters - certainly the Porsches that have soared in value over the last 5 years have. My last tip based on these rules was the M3 E30 Evo Sport, and good examples are noe £40k and rising.

But I could be horribly wrong.

I know the Porsche marketing dept have killed it a bit lately with it's recent run of limited editions but I think any air cooled low mileage and low production numbers car should be OK. I have been offered profits on both my 930 LE and my 89 Speedster (and my Z1) so I can kind of back that statement up. As others has said, by the time you have had to out run a cars day to day costs it can be hard to make a profit on them but that said before you look at the opportunity costs of having money tied up in a car what about the lost opportunity costs of a nice drive on a Sunday or just the nice feeling that you get when you know that you have something beautiful in the garage? You only live once "I spent a lot of my money on booze, birds and fast cars... the rest I just squandered." George Best.

Well for me EVERY MILE IS SMILE

I did not think about will the car go up or down in value .

However maybe I bought mine at the right time five years ago.
I would not get one now, for the same price I paid then for it.

[CraigVmax]

your speedster above is just perfect in my eyes. I wish i'd bought the one I was pondering years ago instead of the 348GTS I bought

Ferrari 348 GTS

Hi Al,
how are you mate.


Don't sell them.You will find it very hard to replace the 911's People tend to keep the best in collections for a very long time.I still miss my LE

I always try to have a couple of classics, just trying to buy a mint 67 Mercedes 250 Se convertable that the man has owned for 40 years, not sure what it might be worth, anyone any idea?


Just a few i have sold over the last couple of years, best investment/toy was the 911 by far, and like AL said Something to put a smile on your face on a Sunday.

[911Al]

Hi Darren,
All good here thanks mate, hope you are good and that property deal went sweet,

That LE of yours was the nuts and looked as good underneath as it did on the inside and out somebody got a car for life there,


Cheers,
Al

I would beg to differ.

I am over-awed by the overwhelming strength of your argument.
Bert

Ha- I thought the same!!!

O/P - no offence meant to you but... It's a silly question. Mainly because - a.) no one here has a reliable crystal ball. b.) cars should never (other than the very very special or film/famous cars and your mates out with 40 grand) be seen as sound financial investments...... But.... To answer same said silly question- a 930 or a very dark horse.... Which he won't even spend his full purse on now.... A really really tidy 964 of any sort really, which I see lately starting to come into fashion.

But..... Who knows?

Al,

Please don't sell this car- take it from a man still "in mourning" for his recent silly decision...

A thing of beauty - its like a little bit of art isn't it?

[SEE YA]

I spoke to a dealer yesterday, he said hang on to your 930 they are going up and up. It does not matter be it a four or five both models are going upwards.
It makes me think I bought mine, at the right time five years ago


As I have said before EVERY MILE IS A SMILE

Yes I was wrong about the price of original 911S's.
Here's one for only ninety grand. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2894043.htm
