Car brahs, what cars could potentially be considered an investment?

[PenorBrahNoHomo]

I'm thinking like classic or vintage cars that would only be driven at the weekend, maybe take on a track now and then, and could increase in value.

One of my mates has a M3 E46 and another an old boxster both of which I think have appreciated over a few years. Any other cars like this?

[Kev1972]

Just saw an early 90s mr2 at auction. Seems like any car will start to appreciate if you store it for 30 years. Buddy of mine has a bone stock 70s pinto, people love it. Granted you could rent out a garage for $200 a month so you're losing a lot in storage fees over 30-40 years.

[OhhhhMan]

lol at thinking cars are an investment

[Ironmanlet]

Cars are not investments man.

In for other answers as I am not educated in finances, but I do expect this to be the overwhelming conclusion.

[Wyzz]

You don’t buy a car for investment reasons.

You buy a car to get you from point A to point B as comfortably and efficient as possible

Yeah I know, but it is possible for a car to increase in value

Unless your rich as fuk. Like can drop 500k+ on a car rich and then just store it for 20 more years your not gonna make anything. This is extreme i know but thats my point.

Market is too flooded with everything and none of it is very cool. Not cool as in its gonna double in value over 20 years anyways.

Inb4
Bbbut my new corvette.

[basedcap]

you can't really predict which cars will get vintage status and be worth more in the future

but generally some porsches will at least hold their value pretty well

OK whatever, forget I said 'investment'. I'm not looking to make money, I'm looking for a toy that could appreciate in value

[DontbeSwak]

Koenigseggs and paganis are appreciating, look into those

[PSVita]

MK4 Golf R32.

[Krackerjacked]

Ford GT

lol honestly anything remotely desirable that they didn’t make a ton of is a safe bet.

[XcelerateNYC]

MKIV supra.

From Kevs perspective, you have to buy a car and store it for over 30 years, or buy a car that has been stored for 30 years for a high price already.

You could have taken that money and invested it in other ways to make way more return over 30 years.

Buying a car that old doesn’t make sense because you will be paying a lot for it, to sell it for a similar price.

Idk man. I guess it is worth researching. That is free. I just don’t see it being worth it. (Again, uneducated on the topic).

Cobra kit car. Can be as cheap as $30,000 to build on upwards of closer to $100,000. Build it to your liking using high performance parts. Most here could never own an original...but this way you can build it as you please without desecrating a classic. There’s a whole subculture for these cars. They’ll retain their value and may even appreciate. You can come out on top if you do a lot of the work yourself...especially the paint and body.

If you can get your hands on an s209 that will be it. Good luck finding one though. You’ll love the way it drives, drives better then most super cars, from Japan and only 200 made in the world. Comes with custom badging, hand made car in Japan + comes with a signature authentic paper

Cars are not investments man.

A guy I work with bought a 1980's Ford Sierra Cosworth, a few year later it doubled in value, probably worth £40 000 now. Even my old Rover has gone up in value quite a bit in the past 5 years. Get good condition cars that are a bit more stylish and rarer than the norm and they can be an investment.

Watches will retain their value much better than vehicles. They make for a better investment, although it needs to be said that luxuries aren't investments at all.

You are better off buying an affordable vehicle and putting everything else that would have gone into buying an expensive car towards stocks or better yet, land.

[Jasonw1178]

The cost of storage and maintenance will negate any gains you recieve. Even if you do make a little, the money could have gone anywhere else and made more.

I came in here to post this exact thing. If you're looking for odd physical investments, watches are your best bet.

Otherwise physical precious metals and land.

Politics too. Cars n politics are not your cup of tea.

If you've got the funds, the Lamborghini Urus. Wait lists are years long to get one and people are buying them, putting 15k miles on them, and then selling them for more than what they paid for them. Orders another one, rinse and repeat.

Here’s the thing though...people spend their whole lives investing and not ‘living’ until they’re late 60s and 70s+. You can’t take it with you and you aren’t promised tomorrow. If you have family and want a nest egg for them, fine. But if not, why not just enjoy (within reason) what life has to offer? I’m not saying go in debt. I remember hearing of this story of a millionaire who was so frugal that he lived like a homeless man. He didn’t spend any money and nothing ever changed as he got older. His house looked like a pigsty. He never traveled or anything...nothing that would cost money. How much life did this man lose out on, and for what? To be the richest man in the graveyard? Nah...I say spend within reason on things you’ll enjoy. If material things aren’t your cup of tea then maybe experiences. Travel whenever the world opens back up. But I wouldn’t constantly throw my loose change in some investment that, in itself, may carry some risk.

Buy GME instead

Agree, that’s why I got the sti s209. I get to tare up the mountains/roads, take my huskies places and it’s worth the same as brand new working on 2 years later.


Had a trackhawk n hellcat that both lost nearly 10,000$ each year in value

You had one of these???



😳....bet that one was fun though.

[ezra76]

Classic cars but they won't go up very quickly from where they are at now. They'll hold their value though.

Probably think of it a lot more as a hobby/entertainment than an investment though.

[Krackerjacked]

Funnily enough Tacoma’s, Wranglers, FJ Cruisers and Raptors all hold their value extremely well.
My first FJ was a 2010 that I paid 22 for then sold to a dealership 6ish months later for 24,5
The 07-09s don’t hold their value quite as well though.

[Olympia2018]

������....bet that one was fun though.

Yup but mine was red n had sunroof, it was a lot of fun. But after going really fast straight I learned something way more fun


Going fast around turns. S209>track hawk/hellcat or the M4


I literally haven’t driven my m4 in a month lmao. About to go wash it now drop the roof n go workout actually though


If you want a collector car trust me get your hands on an s209 put 5-7k in mods (flex fuel, exhaust Access port) and thank me later.


500 HP all wheel drive 6 speed that literally drives better then most supercars at 250k range


Only cons is cheap radio cause of lightweight but you can always upgrade that.

[mr.left hook]

get a classic Chevy Impala, Nova, Camaro ,Chevelle if you can find one cheap

2 of my Buddies have 68 Camaros worth around 50- 70k
