A car as an investment is almost impossible. First of all you have to leave it at low mileage. Else deprecation is too high. Then there is inflation, maintenance, insurance, storage and if you use the car the cost of driving it. Then there is the comparison to a normal decent financial investment. Even a “safe” investment should have a yearly payback of about 2-3%. So you might get a car at 150k and sell it for 200k ten years later but it might not be an investment at all and people who are car enthusiasts tend to forget that and only look at absolute numbers.
