What sub £5k car will rise in value in next 5 years...

[zebedee]

if there is one, or at least hold its value reasonably well (and yes I know there is no real way of knowing, but where would you bet your money?)

Or asked another way, what used beastie is currently woefully undervalued...

[DanDC5]

306 Rallye?

[Jimmy No Hands]

944 S2/Turbo

[Downton Mini]

Classic Mini's I know some are more the £5K now put the bassic ones such as the Mayfair, City etc

[mister.t]

Porsche 928
Range Rover Classic

not exactly a beast, but Audi A2

BMW E34 M5 - cost of entry must surely rise in the coming years.

Except, the running costs will likely exceed any gain in value over that time period. Plus I doubt it will rise to big values as most are regularly used and therefore high mileage.

Something more sensible off the top of my head could be a MK1 Golf GTi. I know a few already break that barrier.

Thought it would have been mentioned by now, but the E36 M3.

[SonicShadow]

Mk1 MR2's have already started to go up. I dont know how mch they will continue to rise though.

[PaperCut]

156 GTA!

Possibly a late, low mileage 166 3.2 V6 Manual Ti - (ironically!)

[NadiR]

Saab 900 Turbo
DC2 Integra

[mk1matt]

Corrado VR6

[kambites]

It absolute terms, probably quite a few with inflation at its current rate.

In real terms, probably none.

[LordHaveMurci]

Fiat Coupe.

[SVX]

It's already happening to the very best spec/condition Mercedes-Benz W124 E-Class.

[Glover321]

what with fuel/tax costs rising:
lupo gti?

Good shout. Most of these mentioned would have already started going up if they were going to. People have been saying this about 944s and 928s forever, but they are still cheap (especially 928s).

[crocodile tears]

A well looked after DC2 will appreciate in a few years I believe

[Wild Rumpus]

Early, standard (or close to standard) Impreza Sti. The last of the nasty ones will be written off or scrapped in the next few years. These will then go the way of the Mini Cooper, Escort RS2000 etc - they all go through the "getting hammered by chavs" stage before they become accepted as classics. With a good competition record these have all the ingredients to get classic status.

I know this won't go down well .... a Audi TT mk1, Alfa 147 GTV, EK9 CTR, Jag XK coupes, mk1 Impreza Turbo 2000 are a few I think have potential
