Inspired by this thread. If you could, what car would you "invest" in today in hopes of it appreciating in the future? It doesn't have to be a 'yota.

I'd say the Prius.

 

[BLUEMEANIE]

the first year of the Prius or the Insight ...or a first year Mini (the new one)

this is an interesting topic....I dont think that any cars will be like the 1930-1970's cars where people buy them to restore them and can sell them all done up and make a living off of it, just because of the added cost of customizing any newer vehicles.

350z, RX8, or WRX.

.....well I have the first year prius....that's mean mine will be collector car?????


and I got a 83 corolla s/w with only 69xxxkm on it, will that be collector item too???

1993 Honda Civic Si hatch. You know some old gino is gonna want one to re-live his youth in 20 years.

MKIV Supra TT, FD3S RX7, LanEVO

I'd get an Evo VI, the whole company is going downhill even Chrysler don't want them!

RX-8 is also not bad since nobody buys them, unlikely to see a real coupe version.

I would have to invest in a 1998 Supra TT 6-speed and Prolly a last Gen RX-7

my 1990 Lexus ES250...honestly, how many of them do you see running around all the time???

cars as an investment.......

keep dreaming....might as well burn money......

 

[2wickedtoyz]

i don't think any of these newwer cars will stand up to the older ones cause they use alot of technology that can be easily damaged unlike the classic cars. also there isn't a strong brother hood following import as there are for american.

but if i had to say i would say a gen 3-3.5 cam, 2nd gen mr2, supraTT,last rwd celica, gt4, rwd rolla.

I'm not seeing too much that would go classic at this point. Perhaps an 05 Mustang GT given the complete overhaul of the frame may fit a niche, but were talking 30 years until they start to have a chance of reclaiming their initial price. Making a profit...40 or more years, and it has to be museum quality...

The impala ss based off the caprice chassis has some chance however among the muscle crowd.
