If you were to buy something now 'Bargain Basement' with a view to beating the system and getting ahead of the curve, what would you buy?

I remember our school caretaker's collection of Auto ste (Cortina Estate, Granada Estate) and we all laughed at him. These same cars are now changing hand for £4-6k - but were £300 when he had them.

Wondering whether to punt £600 on a nice 1994 Mondeo and keep it nice. Not to make money, but just to buy whilst they're still chips.

What do you think has bottomed out?

I'm not sure I agree. After all, who would have thought in 1999 that people would be queueing up to pay big money for a poverty spec Cortina Estate?

Perhaps I got this all wrong then.
