Investment Cars

What would you say is the next car that is going to go stupid in price?

[CS Garth]

Impossible to answer without referencing all variable external factors.

Regardless the answer is Aston Martin Vanquish

[jontykint]

Probably one that you can't afford

[Terzo123]

If I had the money and storage space,

Z4M coupe
E46 M3
Vauxhall Monaro VXR
Puma Racing
A standard low mileage Impreza turbo 2000
P1 Impreza
Integra Type R
R32 Skyline ( These are already shooting up in value)

You will not lose a penny on any of the above. And there's plenty others

Ferrari F50.

Mercedes SL R107

Gullwings are £1m+ ...Increasing
Pagodas £100k+ ...Increasing

Natural order dictates good original R107s will be increasing too..

Next will be R129s

[Mr Tidy]

Seemingly anything I have enjoyed but sold some years ago!

Isn't the main driver of R32 price increases that they are now eligible to be imported into the USA as they are 25yrs old.

So, R33 and R34 will surely follow the same pattern in a few years time.

The boat has already sailed with the R107.

The R129 is a good shout though as there are still some good cars to be had at reasonable prices.

Select 80's/90's metal is a good place to put money at the moment, but as always, certain specialists will distort the market with crazy speculative valuations on cars.

How many of these in your garage? Aside from the R32, with US driven demand affecting supply all are representative of a bubble with no fundamentals. "Not loose a penny", boils my p*ss - especially with no skin in the game. Presumably with such surety you don't need an ISA or pension, or have you invested in a classic car EIS. Valuing cars and investing (at the serious end of the spectrum), references the macro outlook; aside from chavs buying these and smashing them to bits the risk reward profile here looks terrible (it's a punt).

If however you have a carpark full of such precious metal, I salute your investment cajonnes.

[Esceptico]

A pox on all you aholes buying cars as investments and driving prices out of reach of enthusiasts that just want to own and drive them. I hope the market collapses and you all lose lots of money.

Considering they were swapping hands at 50% above RRP with delivery mileage I think that boat has already sailed. I read a rumour that 80% of them have been flipped already

[Shakermaker]

Porsche 996.

Get one, and do some home spannering on it if you can, probably net you a few quid.

Based on no personal experience as I've never owned a Porsche, but online prices seem to indicate their quite low now, compared to other 911s.

[harmeet-y4oyq]

Audi RS2 although these also have started to move

Already happened. I wish I'd bought one at £10k a few years ago as they seem to start at £30K now.

True, I remember back in 2004 when the local dealer had one at £18k with only a few thousand on the clock
