Which cars out today will be the best investment in 10 yrs?

[Housekeeping]

Curious what you think.

BMW Z8, yes, already $250-$300k but I feel it has room to increase. Instant classic.

Gen 2 Ford GT, again, qtr Million dollar car but I see increase here too

Will the GNX continue? Seems to have stalled at ~$100k.

CLK63 Black series? Seems stuck at $75-110k

911R? Again, where in 10 years?

Which Ferrari will be the next Enzo?

How about the Lamborghini Jalapa? I feel that could sky rocket too. Still reasonable today.

E39 M5?

If you had $200k to invest in a car, where do you feel most money can be made in 10 years. And yes, I know, don’t invest in cars......... I get it but curious still.

[Crimson92]

E92M. E86M

Not 200k cars but will hold their value and maybe gain some back.

[ACZakka325i]

Any naturally aspirated Porsche 911 with a manual transmission.

[Red Bread]

Anything interesting with a stick, especially those that are being replaced without that option. Look at the absurd price for the 6 F599's with three pedals. Or even 550/575's. Balboni's too.

A manual F10 M5 will likely outperform the flappy paddle by 10:1 or better over the next decade or two.

Then there's the bizarre. There are manual first gen Panameras.

The last gen TT-RS with a manual will likely clobber the current one with only DSG. Probably a market for V12 Aston's as I think they're getting harder to find with manuals.

I'm sure as we approach greater saturation of hybrid and full EV setups, a similar wave will likely occur for DSG/DCT cars as enthusiasts look back.

Buy all the 964's you can and put Singer on speed dial.

Those (Singer) are incredible cars. You feel they will appreciate?

[aozer]

991 gt3 with manual transmission

How many other NA supercars with MT are available today?

[Mr Tonka]

v-tech civic. The type R tho.

[UglyBuzzard]

Definitely no car with the N63 engine!

Singers? Not materially. But he builds them off of 964 bones. Hoard 964's, make Singer pay more.

[cjb762]

C2 Corvette?

[Dang3r]

Everything but a bimmer

Depends on the generation of the typical buyer.
The car culture is slowly dying out as baby boomers age so it may not matter whether these cars are manuals. I don't see any of these expensive high tech cars aging well.

I was thinking S2000. I've read (but not checked into) their used / for sale prices getting higher and higher already.

This.

Putting infotainment into cars has pretty much ruined any value they may have down the road in my opinion. Using the I-Drive in current models 20 years from now will be the equivalent of using Windows 95. The problem is unlike a simple GPS system many of these modern cars use the infotainment to control systems throughout the whole vehicle, like HVAC.

Tough to say what will be valuable down the road, but looking at what is valuable now might help. Usually limited production cars that have a unique driving experience hold their value. I'm thinking some BMWs without IDrive will probably go up a bit. Like stated above there also has to be a demand though.

[Bingobimmer]

Most special edition models in limited numbers. Cars with big NA engines and manuals. The 1M seems to be one of the few special bmw. Besides exotics think of the cars today's teenagers dream of i.e. boss 302 mustangs.

[Nkc]

Viper ACR Extreme
Z8
1M
Z3 M Coupe (s54)
Z4 M Coupe
E39 M5
GT4
997 GT3 +RS
458
430 6spd
S2000
ITR

Maybe and just maybe, M4gts if you can get it for cheap because bmw ain't going that path anymore.

[WeekendWarriorz]

I don't see e39 M5's or E60 M5 SMG's appreciating with the running costs and issues of the car. Cars that will keep their value are 2013+ GT500, C6 ZR1, Any Porsche 911, the TT RS 2012-2013 is a unique car that's been holding value. Also the B7 RS4 seems to not be depreciating any time soon.

Specifically, I can see the 997.2 911 Turbo manuals increasing in value. Last of the manual Porsche turbos and right before when everything became complex inside the car.

And the Audi R8 V10 6 speed with the gated shifter is a pretty dollar.

Low Mileage LCI E92 M3's will increase, as some of them cost even more than the new F8x now in the auction.

[Never_Enough]

Thread title says cars out TODAY. Then lists a bunch of old cars that we already know keep going up in value...LOL

I heard there was a problem with the new Type R grinding 2nd gear. Not sure if it's been fixed and if it'll affect value later on.

[other_evolved]

I think the Chevy SS in manual will hold its value pretty damn well.

[BillD1953]

I know of one guy who has made money "investing" in cars and he started back in the late 60s in HS when his dad bought him a yellow Ferrari Dino. The car has less than 1,000 miles on it. It's stored in a garage with the 80s vintage Porsche 911, another low mileage Ferarri and a Lamborghini.

I just ordered a new BMW X3 M40i.

I figure when I run 100,000 miles on the M40 it will be worth "not much"...no different than any other "mainstream" luxury car maker.

I bet I could lock my 2016 228i 6MT coupe away today for say 50 years and "maybe" "break even" on the original cost of $33K.

Rarity of a desired car decades later and low/no miles is the investment.
