It's hard to predict the future! You could buy a car today that seems to be holding its value well and the prices could suddenly drop over the next few months.
That's the point of the thread, to get the ideas of the more certain marques
on paper.
Remember a car isn't worth what someone is asking for it it's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it! So you could be sat with £25k invested into a car and have to wait months until someone comes along that is willing to pay what you value the car at and in that time you could miss out out on a house that you've been saving up to get!
It's no problem as I won't be buying property the minute after, it's the perfect window to do exactly that - buy something a little less practical, especially with the A3 as the daily
You could also buy a rs3 rs4 etc and some jealous **** comes along and vandalises your investment, it could be stolen or you could smash it! Or it could even need thousands spent on repair bills.
...Risks are the same with any car aren't they chap, that's why we have insurance.
The implications from that point of view are really not too different with a £1k jalopi or a £90k classic. The legal side is all taken care of belt and braces either way if you do things by the book so I'm not worried by that at all, I've also always had gap insurance (RTN to invoice) on anything I own
All the cars mentioned aren't from a flooded market either so re-sale shouldn't in theory be an issue here, particularly the limited run cars - it was to see where others would put their cash and what the ultimate list would be for said budget. A 1M would be fantastic but they really are out of my reach unfortunately.
