Jte3397 said: With a few notable exceptions that are mainly at the high end of the market, car as investment is best viewed as a way to justify what is ultimately not a sensible hobby. I'm about break even on my M3 if I ignore what I could have done with the money instead.We had a Ignis Sport that we bought in 2013. 41k miles, 1 previous owner for £1900 (£2700 in todays money) and we sold it ten years later in 2023 for £3000 on 116k miles so made £300 profit. The 17 year old lad I sold it to crashed it within a month of passing his test. My Celica GT-Four I paid £3000 (£4500 in todays money)

The 17 year old lad I sold it to crashed it within a month of passing his test. My Celica GT-Four I paid £3000 (£4500 in todays money) for in 2012. It is insured with an agreed value of 30k on a modified policy. Although I am never going to sell that one and the money spent on it far outstrips that 30k anyway . All of these, in recent years, i got what i paid for them or sold them for more than i paid for them. These are withing the last 5 years.This, i got within a few £££ of what i paid for it 18 months earler, which was pretty good going, given i bought it from a Mercedes Main Dealer, AMG Approved Used.Wifes car... still maybe worth £27K? She gave £31,995 for it 3.5 years ago.To be honest, its not wildly hard to do currently. Anything "interesting", sub £30K and ICE seems to be at least holding its money. M2, M3, M4 all holding well. Boxsters, Caymans. M3 V8 creeping up slightly. GR86 holding well, GR Yaris Circuit too. Both those probably small ish depreciation from here on in. I'm sure theres a load more but thats what i'm tracking mainly.For all the bitterness around the end of the ICE era and the end of interesting / fun ICE cars, its a great time to buy. Minimal depreciation on the right car.Edited by Deep Thought on Saturday 22 August 23:24
