The first big question here is what one calls a 'daily driver', if you can afford a Bentley Continental I suppose it would be very nice to drive everyday and maintenance shouldn't be too much of a problem. But then that list includes a Ford Capri, they used to be fairly common with a lot of people driving them everyday but by now the youngest one will be over 30 years old, with all of the issues related to old cars such as wear and deterioration and the higher maintenance needs set against less availability of parts.
The only car I had which might fit the bill was my Suzuki SC100, a little 2+2, my first one in 1986 cost about £2500, I sold my second one in 1998 for £750, there's a good one (not concours) for sale on
Car and Classic for £4999, so if I'd kept them I would be showing a profit, except that would be a bit like a Brewer profit on Wheeler Dealers, over the last 20 years to keep that car in roadworthy condition would probably have required some serious body rust repairs and a respray, an engine rebuild, and a host of other repairs. But then also bear in mind that the reason I had to get rid of it was not because I didn't enjoy driving it but because it was a nightmare to get parts for it, before I sold it it sat in my garage for about 6 months as I tried to get two 'plates' for the suspension, it was a long cycle of weekly trips to the dealer - 'No sorry they've not come in' - 'We'll phone head office' - 'We're waiting to hear from Japan' - etc etc, until eventually I had to trawl around the local engineering workshops to get them specially made, hardly what one wants from a 'Daily Driver'.
If we're looking at something reasonably common and reasonably new to buy now for keeping for years we are as TripleS suggests subject to the vagaries of fashion, how many Ford Escorts were consigned to scrap as being old fashioned which would now be Retro and cool? There's loads of cars out there now which will last well given a modest amount of care, but will anyone want a Nissan Micra in 2050? Watching some of the car shows on telly there does seem to be some demand for the cars that the now wealthy 50 year olds used to drive when they were kids, so the Micra (with a dollop of nostalgia) may have some chance.
