Here's a few cars that I have owned or had as company cars that appear enjoy quite a following and high(ish) prices today, although prices may have already hardened/topped out for many, but they may not actually depreciate -
Ford Capri Injection Special Ford Capri 280 Ford Escort Turbo Ford Sierra XR4x4 Ford Sierra RS Cosworth (3 dr) Ford Granada Ghia 4x4 Audi UR Quattro Audi 100 Sport Audi 90 Quattro Volkswagen Jetta GTI 16v Volvo 744 Turbo Saab 900 Turbo (original) Saab 900 Aero (original). Not an exhaustive list, and it is quite old as most of these cars were new or quite new at the time I had them. More up to date, I recently sold my Saab 9-5 Vector wagon and after 3 yrs use sold it for slightly more than I paid for it. Jon. Last edited by Prufrock; Dec 6th, 2017 at 08:45.

I'm hoping that my Peugeot 407 coupe will start to increase in value, it has less than 23k on the clock at the moment, I only do about 1k a year with it now.
I'm led to believe that only 52 of my particular car were imported into the country. Probably won't be going up much in my lifetime.

Although I did enjoy my MK1 1.8 in Mars Red, bit of a roller skate - my 205GTI 1.9 was pretty good though, probably one of the best was my Citroen BX16v in white - a very rare sight today. Jon. |

i owned e36 m3 evo, porsche 928 s4, fiat coupe 20v turbo and various quick saabs and volvos but i always remember my second vr6 engined mk2 golf being the quickest, most useable fast car i owned in feel anyway. it had a slightly tuned corrado 2.9 vr6, full mk3 front clip with big brakes , 5 stud wheels etc, it was a proper expensive conversion and just looked like a standard 16v down to the badges. if i recall, it put out abour 220hp and a load of torque, but that is PLENTY in a golf!! i have always fancied finding a clean mk3 golf vr6 for a daily smoker, i think they were only around 180hp but big engine, small car is always a nice, relaxed feeling of power... |
