I should have bought two ! One to beat on and one for investment purposes

:bellyroll:

Very few cars actually make money in less than 20 years. Early 911's are incredibly hot right now (~$40k for a perfect show quality example) and they're JUST now breaking even ($6k originally in the late '60's), and don't forget the decades in between when you could buy them in "reliable" condition for less than 1 grand. Same with Mustangs and Camaros and just about every other recognizable "classic" car that was made with any kind of mass production.

It's a neat idea but don't expect any serious renown for another 40+ years.

They ran a similiar article in my local paper...eh I hope to be 75 telling my grand kids I had one of these cars and showing them pictures...I don't care if I still own the car or have "broken even" it'll just be a wicked story.

i wasnt serious about buying a car for investment purposes.. I've bought too many over the years to know that cars cost you..
however.. they are a good investment when it comes to thrills and enjoyment.. I like this car alot because the cost to fun ratio is one of the best deals out there.

But there's the Ford Focus ST in the ranking as well...there goes all credibility, right out the window

+1 I don't think that car belongs on there

Have you driven one?

this is one of those things where "collectors car" has a super liberal definition.

Agreed.. to some extent. I can see this purist type of sports car becoming a
classic some years down the road.. It has its appeal..

10 series will be worth a pretty penny in the future then... :D

While I love my FR-S to death, I would look at the retail history of the S2000 for guidance on where our cars are heading. 5 years from now we'll probably be looking at 60% of what they were originally worth. Maybe 20 years from now an FR-S in perfect condition will be worth what was originally paid... maybe.

For a true future classic look up prices for a used BMW 1M. Only 740 were sold in the U.S. with sticker prices when new usually 20K-30K above MSRP. You need exclusivity to have a future classic. The Integra Type R is another great example. Very limited production and if you can find one that's unmolested it will cost a good amount. Aren't there about 30,000 FR-S and BRZ in America already after just 1 year?

Pretty much why I decided to leave mine stock, rather than turn it into some ugly-ass "ricer".

After modding many cars over the years.. There is much to be said for leaving it stock. As I will do with this one..
