Ten cars about to "explode in value"
 

I'm no speculator of future car values, but I thought this list was interesting. I'm posting it here because of #4 if anyone is wondering . . .

interesting, I'm wondering how difficult it'll be to keep vantages on the road (and most of the newer cars) because of all the electronics, power components etc.

I don't think it'd be difficult at all. I owned two Astons and, aside from a couple of minor niggles with my '07 Vantage that were remedied on newer cars, they were extremely reliable.

Now who out there has my old V12V and wants to sell it back to me. :)

Don't know if I would chosen the word "explode" though. :)

I don't see it happening. Who knows. The car market is about as fickle as they come. But I wouldn't be holding my breath.

I'm really getting tired of seeing e46 posts recently. I've been looking for a perfect one for the last 6 months and this is causing them to shoot up already.

Think of a car from the 50's or 60's - people go 'wow' if the clock is still spinning. The rest of the car is low tech. What happens in 20 or 30 years when the computers in dash or under the hood go poof. It could be difficult to find replacements.

I don't think the V12V is about to explode in value, but I do think it has bottomed, or at the very least is close to it.

I have no doubt they will appreciate at some point in the forseeable future. Not imminent but I think it will happen eventually.

The only ones that actually will go up in value are probably #1 & #5 realistically, many of the rest are junk (not V12V of course). V12s will still drop for some time. They won't appreciate, but they may flatline at some point like the older 4.3Ls

I would *love* to have an SPG. Just sayin.

Do not agree with M3 E46 - possibly CSL but not the standard M3.

Supra Mk4 should be on that list. Once the new Toyota GTR killer comes out with the Supra name then the brand name will be back in the forefront.

More importantly Japanese cheap stock of these cars are dwindling and good example are hard to find. Many cars are worth more as parts too. So the signs and portents are definately there. We shall see...

I agree that the V12 V has pretty much bottomed. If I am wrong and they drop to 100K or less for a low mile one I will gladly buy another.

Potential yes -about to ??? Some may get to $100k or less, depends on the quality of each car, what's Aston Martin's future and the economy. To make a blanket statement will take a few more years to see IMHO. One of the best investment is one that you can enjoy. YES Sir !! a V12V would fit that category.

Well, there's the rub. For a car to really "expode" in value as an investment, it typically will need to have really low miles. So, unless you enjoy just looking at the car (and not driving it), it'll be difficult to enjoy it and have it appreciate like crazy.

Agree, the buy two rule applies, with investment vehicle possessing the most desirable/rare options
