Cars that will hold their value?

[htrowsoc]

I'll start with the M3 CSL, these have settled between £30k and as much as £60k! They were £58k when new (before options)

[J4CKO]

I bought my 350Z a year and a bit ago and it still seems to be worth what I paid for it or a bit more.

[Marc p]

I think the big 90's Japanese stuff is a fairly safe bit now, such as:

Supra
Skyline GTR
RX7
Evo 6
Classic Impreza's

[Speed Badger]

One of these...

[cerb4.5lee]

The TVR Sagaris and BMW 1M are both doing well and it doesn't look like changing much.

[Alex]

Boxster/Cayman GTS.

When the range goes 4-pot turbo, the "last of the NA 6 cylinder cars" (as they will come to be known) will become valuable.

[AlexHat]

Lotus Elise S1 or Exige S1

[RWD cossie wil]

911 996 GT2, GT3, Turbo
BMW CSL
Escort Cosworth
Lancia Delta integrale
BMW E34 & E39 M5
Ferarri 355

Anything reasonably analogue and intersting will be a pretty good bet IMHO.

[Roundozo]

BMW Z4 Coupe & BMW Z4 M Coupe.

very low numbers in the country and running the last of the straight 6 N/A engines.

Interesting, Mrs has one of these, also 2007 - the revised 313 engine.

GT trim and 18months back we paid around £10k with 54k on the clock, from a Nissan Main Dealer with 12months warranty.

Now, with just over 60k on it, we seem to stand to lose very little. There are actually very few with the desirable 313 engine on autotrader.

Cheered me right up

E46 M3 CS with BMW Manual Gearbox
The best E46 M3 with Manual and the award winning S54. Helped by CSL prices to some extent.
The ultimate expression of NA straight 6 / Manual by BMW IMO

E46 M3 CSL
F355 Manual
575M Manual
Clio V6
Focus RS MkI, MkII
997.2 Carrera GTS Manual
TVR Sagaris
996 GT3 RS, GT2
993 C2S, Turbo Manual
997.2 GT3 RS
968 ClubSport
E39 M5
Z3 M Coupe S54
Z8

Suppose 205 1.9 and 1.6 GTI values are holding strong

[thelawnet]

Any £1k car.

Infact these are due to appriciate any minute!

[Redlake27]

I'm puzzled by the Panda 100HP. I bought one three years ago and the depreciation has been miniscule so far. I wouldn't ever see it appreciating like the Integra,Elise and Focus RS models mentioned above....but it seems like it's going to be a very slow depreciator.

I'm intrigued by quirky French stuff.Aventimes and C6s seem to be near the bottom of their depreciation curves and are interesting and rare enough to become sought after in the future.

[austinsmirk]

Not quite cars but any Vw t25, t4,t5.
Due to obsessive Vw fans and ability to convert to campers etc.

And they're actually rather good/useful

[Mermaid]

Lupo GTi
Cayman R
Old Mercs
Old Alfas.... in fact most "Old things" but not Marinas, Allegros & most BL stuff

Need it with the yearly tax costs on that! I've a 54 plate 350z with GT trim in Red (bought with 35k on now at 75k) so reasonably rare, saw a "modded" silver imported 03 plate at a dealer for 8k which is exactly what I paid for mine 4 years ago and it's condition sure wasn't great so think they're holding their value at the moment, certainly any valuations I've had/done have always put it around what I paid for it.

[medieval]

Probably anything over 25 years if the mot exemption date proposal comes to fruition
