Are VXR8s now appreciating in value?

[AndyLB]

A couple of years ago I'm sure VXR8s had come down to the 12-13k mark - now there doesnt seem to be any under 15k.

Is their scarcity and desirability causing them to start appreciating already, despite being so new?

Yes, they were hit too hard in depreciation in 2010-2012 so they have bounced back since 2012/2013. also as the E3 was nearly 50k new in 2012 not the £37k the E1 was in 2007 they looked too cheap plus demand has increased. they shouldn't increase anymore but continue with slow depreciation

loads of cars are appreciating at silly rates at the minute, its as if we may be heading for another bubble.

As the country again starts on the feel-good path (note I didn't say wealthy), people will be looking for performance cars again. Enough haven't been registered over the last six years to feed that demand, so prices will rise. The low points previously mentioned have always been from the autumn, so I would be reluctant to says prices are on the rise until we can compare the last 1/4 of the year against previous years.

Even fairly safe performance and luxury cars were haemoraging money in the last part of 2008, which saw them lose 20% of their value in 3 months. It only takes a bit of bad news.....

yep in 2008 you could pick up many AMv8s for sub 40 even some sub 30k (but probably with huge outstanding finance the sellers had no intention of clearing once you bought their car)

these still seem relatively cheap.....prices in the mid 30's to early 40's......many around...lots of supply....questionable demand..............i think any performance car where supply is limited is doing well at the moment.

yes! Capri prices are going mental. I just hope my flat sale goes through soon so I can get an 840 or 50is!

Don't think my 'ro has depreciated in the year i've had it, certainly makes the road tax an easier pill to swallow!
