Cars to buy now and keep (whilst prices are sensible)
Discussion
Okay, so the classic car boom has put most desirable stuff from the 80s and 90s out of reach for many....so I was wondering what cars you would buy and keep which are available at reasonable prices. The sort of stuff that you can't buy any more.
For me, a late E90 straight six 325/330i has got to be worth a punt...also an Accord Type R or Civic Type R with a n/a engine....and of course any pre 4 cyl turbo engine Boxster or Cayman!!- tiny hot hatches such as the Clio 182 won't be done again and are VERY cheap at the moment.... What else?

Another week, yet another value appreciation thread.
You won't make money on many cars at this level when you account for running costs.
I sold my 205 GTI in 2005 for £1000. If I hung onto it all these years, mileage woild be nearing 200k and insurance alone probably best part of £5k.
Ahh, I perhaps didn't phrase the OP carefully enough. Its not a thread about which cars are going to go up in value, more a thread about which cars (the sort that you wont be able to buy any more) are worth buying whilst they are cheap to drive and enjoy....if they go up in value that's just a bonus....You won't make money on many cars at this level when you account for running costs.
