Thread: Cars to Buy NOW ?

    Cars to Buy NOW ?

    The Car Market is ****e !
    For Most "Play Cash" is in short Supply !
    Great Cars are Popping Up left&right !
    What is your idea of the Car to Buy NOW for Potential Upside over the next 10yrs?
    I know the Right answer is "The One you Love"
    And I know that the Word Car & Investment don't belong in the same Sentence

    But Just for Fun , What is your Opinion ?

    Me:76'-79' 930's @$25K to $35K (so long as they don't break while you own it)

    My Bets (Part 1). . .

    Ferrari 550 Maranello --- NOT the 575 --- big, beautiful, fast, plush, special front-engined V12 you can actually work on yourself

    Porsche 930 --- plain, no slopes, cabs, or boxed-rocker nonsense

    Porsche 996 GT3 --- hands-down, THE performance bargain for the money, a genuine hand-built factory special, with no electronic nonsense

    BMW e30 M3 --- the original, especially the Sport EVO and any Gr.A car

    Audi Ur-Quattro

    My Bets (Part 2). . .

    MBz '94-5 E320 Cabs --- the last of the over-engineered factory drop-tops

    Meyers Manx --- especially any factory- or documented period-built cars

    The S's (Esses) have gotten all the glory, but pick up the nice E's now......they are big bang for the buck. Really nice ones aren't given away, but will appreciate.....IMHO.....but I may be biased.

    It seems like "exotic cars" hit the lowest marks in the depreciation cycle around the 20 year mark. That being said:

    Air cooled Porsches, 356A to the 993. (No bias here )

    The Ferraris around the 20 year mark: 328's, 348's, Testarossas, F-40.

    Jaguar XJ 220

    Bugatti EB 110

    Lamborghini Diablo, last generation of the Countach line

    BMW E30, E36 M3's

    Last generation of the Lotus Esprit

    You see where this is going....

    Slant nose, oh give me a break!

    And what prey tell is a '964 S'? Those must be rare.

    Buy and use a 964 RS (or even a 993 RS)
    Agreed with Rick, 996 GT3 will be a decent bet

    How about a 289 Mk II Tiger
