I bought a lovely 07 Z4 3ltr Si for a very fair £7,500. I’m pretty sure I could sell this this on for more when I get bored. Good demand for these on forums from people wanting to buy.
Fun fact, a Z4 is the only car i have ever "made money" on... (£250 if i remember correctly)

Do we think there will be any love for the MK1 TT roadster ? we have had ours 8 years and its on 56k, it was on 49k when we got it ... i'm trying to decide if we move it on and get a better investment car, well i say investment, something we could use and make a few ££'s on.
No. Coupe possibly (but unlikely) but can't see the roadster being collectible.m

What does everyone tghink about the early Aston V8 Vantage manual? I have one in 2007 flavour which I bought a while back from a friend at a rock bottom price (well, I swapped it for my tricked up Defender). I was thinking of selling it as I am about to have a kid, but it doesn't need to be sold - it will just get used relatively rarely. Storage and maintenance isn't a problem.
Keep or get rid? They are pretty and the design is ageing well, and Aston have done a Ferrari and gone upmarket/expensive. Relatively common, but a lovely thing to drive and be in, and definitely to look at...
Choice is really keep it and buy something cheap as a family London runabout, or sell and get something a bit fruitier for family duties - some sort of RS/AMG V8 estate.

I would keep - you aren't going to lose money on it...Keep or get rid? They are pretty and the design is ageing well, and Aston have done a Ferrari and gone upmarket/expensive. Relatively common, but a lovely thing to drive and be in, and definitely to look at...

Just read 11pages of this and the obvious are mentioned over and over again...
I didn't see the 200sx s14a / S13 / S15 mentioned at all. Compared to the gtts these are surely a better shout and with some mild mods can make for some serious giant slaying...
As for investment value with the whole drift scene, plus ratiety in manuals I can't see these being a bad bet in fine fettle at all...
Ps yes I am based 😀

Forgot to say mine is a coupe. For the money it’s amazing.
Based on a forum member's research the UK got less than 2,500 3 litre Coupes, so they are fairly thin on the ground too. I bought one in June 2014, but fell a bit out of love with it when the electric water pump died in December 2015. Early in 2016 I replied to a post on a forum from someone looking for one and agreed to sell it - for a bit more than I paid for it (But not enough to cover the new water pump)!
Anyway I took it for one last drive and realised I had made a big mistake!
So the next 2 days were spent finding a replacement - which I still have!
It's never going to rocket upwards in value, but they don't seem to be dropping so that's good enough for me!
A Z4M Coupe might be a good prospect for appreciation - they seem to be going up already. And look at what Z3M Coupes fetch now!
