£28k car with fair RO original price
« on: November 10, 2014, 08:11:20 pm »
Guys,

If you had £28k to throw into a car while having a small pre-30's crisis ( :laugh: :grin:) and wanted it to be a car that would give you some sort of return on original place by keeping it for a year then selling to throw into a property fund, something that would be as close to appreciating as possible with depreciation next to nothing, with only say 5-8,000 miles being put on it with a couple of track days thrown in, what would you get?

RS3?
E92 M3?
E46 CS/CSL M3?
Exige of some sort?
An Aston of some flavour?
Some sort of big engined Alpina?
911 996 Turbo?
A Noble?  :popcornsoda:

Cheers.

I certainly can't see you losing a lot of money on a Noble M12 GTO - i'd get one if I could having been a passenger in one! Flipping amazing things!

E46 M3 CSL if I had to use everyday for a year. Any of them can throw a big bill at their age though!

I'd rather have a Golf R or 8V S3, good all weather performance and blisteringly quick with the dsg gearbox. The running costs of some of the cars you listed will be extortionate

A good condition mk1/mk2 GTI will be an investment. Prices are going up year by year, sorted ones with good body work go up quicker still.

I thnk RS4, E92 M3 and C63 AMG will be pretty decent purchases if u buy the right one...

All 3 of those cars have firmed up in value due to the newer models being either turbochatged, S-Tronic only

Nothing modern will retain money. You need to look at 80/90s Porsches.
