What if you bought an extremely cool car today, which will become an automotive classic in just a few years. Then look at these few examples, which in the coming years will not only lose, but gain a lot!

Why should you ride with boring new cars, which loses an average of at least 2,000 euros per year or more, if it can be in your garage for deducted change ..., something that will only increase in value in the coming years.

V time and space, certain cars simply age better than average. They gain over the years iconic status and from year to year they do not lose their value - they enrich it. In principle, they can even the vehicles you use every day and not just on special occasions. They are modern enough to survive, for example ABS or air conditioner and thus the basic safety of modern vehicles. Their appearance on the road is also an expression of your good personal style, as you easily stand out with a relatively unique vehicle.

Of course it is necessary catch the right point and buy a car at the moment when its value is at its lowest point. As a rule, in the age between 22 and 30 years old, when the car, as long as it is in its original condition, becomes a classic and thus entitled to a significantly cheaper registration. We know many examples of cars that reach this status much earlier. But most of them reach this breaking point in the above-mentioned years.

So let's look at those cars that are slowly approaching aged 30 years, or they can also be much younger, but at a point where we know that their value will only grow in the future.

1. Alfa Romeo 164

A typical representative of the 90s ..., which already for the time of its "relevance" attracted attention because of the characteristic futurism and for those times of a very unique design. Alfa Romeo 164 was sexy and at a certain moment it completely sank into the oblivion of automotive history. But because 90's and thus fashion and style return, this very car can be the object of your desire.


But hurry, because in the circles of car collectors there is already a lot of talk about this model, the price of which can jump into the sky. Either way – there's still time to jump on the train and park in your garage the legendary Alfa Romeo 164 3.0 – V6 - the prices of the latter are high, but you can still get the "normal" ones for a thousand or two. Hint. Look for the Super 3.0 version, which is much cheaper, but still excellent choice.

Price range: from 500 euros to 25,000 euros

2. BMW Z4 M

No, we didn't mess around. If this article had been written 4 years ago, we would definitely suggest you buy it BMW Z3 M Coupe ...but those times have passed. Namely, a car that you could buy for an amount of approx 20,000 euros, today it costs up to 6x as much. But there are also examples that cost money well over 100,000 euros. That's why it's a purchase M car definitely an investment at his right age and we believe he is sexy E85/86 right at the moment when you can still buy it for an affordable amount from 15,000 to 40,000.


An amount that will not decrease in any way, but will only make the vehicle more expensive in the future and thus represents an investment. It is a fact that until of classic status and so the old-timer still needs a lot of time. But it seems to be worth the wait!

Price range: from 15,000 euros to 25,000 euros

3. Audi TT – MK1 – series 1 – 8N

yes - Audi TT is a car that raised a lot of dust at the beginning of its life journey. Right at the start, he had a lot of handling problems, so that the car had to be recalled and upgrade it with ABS and a rear spoiler in the year 2000. Nevertheless, we believe that it will soon achieved legendary status, as its futuristic lines and design are timeless. If years ago it was considered a bit clumsy, but in recent years it seems that its design is one of those that stands out and is gaining ground over the years. A sexy roadster version was also available, which you should definitely consider because it adds that something.


In so far as you have warmed to the Audi TT, we recommend you to buy kakopak the most powerful versions. So the car that bears the designation Audi TT 3.2 Coupe Quatro. You can get the latter for a price of around 6,000 euros, but prices are rising rather quickly and there really aren't many cars. This is also why it seems that this year is the last chance to park a sports coupe in your garage with 250 horses, which would achieve cult status over the next decade.

Price range: from 2,000 euros to 30,000 euros

4. Saab 900

It is a legendary car of the brand that is shut down years ago. And that's also why it seems that he will be the right model 900 those, which stands out from the average also because it can still be bought relatively cheap. Although we can find examples from 1989 worth as much as 50,000 euros online (Saab 900 Turbo 16 Convertible), which only indicates the direction in which prices will move in the future. His design and fit are the stuff of "legends" and practically irreplaceable.


Just like after side silhouettes you recognize G-wagon, or Land Rover Defender has Saab 900 a completely unique silhouette. That's why he was many times a Hollywood movie star it was used by urban professionals, architects, and doctors. So if you're itching for it... the Saab 900 is something you can't go wrong with. At the same time, a car that was technologically ahead of its time. That's also why ... back to the future with Saab 900.

Hmmm... but what is Renault doing from semi-past history on the list of those cars that absolutely not to be missed. The fact that these futuristic cars were built just right 8.557 and that very number and the fact that this car won the most design awards and was completely ahead of its time are responsible for the fact that this car will only increase in value in the years to come. In November 2008, the "remade" Avantime was a "guest" of the show Top Gear, where the leaders tried to bring it to the test track faster than with the factory one Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.


Avantime it performed brilliantly and was named by all three Top Gear presenters as one of the three to their liking. The cars that Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May all liked were extremely rare. They belong to this group Ford Mondeo and Subaru Legacy. A perfectly preserved Renault Avanti you can buy for around 8.000 euros.

Price range: from 2,200 euros to 10,000 euros

The car that saved Volvo from the red numbers and re-popularized the boxy design. That was it Volvo 850. But real success only begins with a special model limited edition 850 T-5Rs, which was a huge commercial success, prompting Volvo to produce another series in 1996. The model is based on the model 850 Turbo, with the engine conversion developed together with Porsche. That's how he got the car an additional 18 KM compared to the normal version and thus put a total of them on the road 243 hp (181 kW). Interestingly, despite its boxy design, it managed an extremely low drag coefficient of 0.29 and was able to accelerate 0 to 100 mph in 6.0 seconds.


Top speed was electronically limited to 244.9 km / h. The vehicle was equipped with tires as standard Pirelli P-Zero and had most of the equipment available at the time, a CD changer with 6 CDs, leather, ... So the legend, this interesting and almost eternal 850 T-5R, which you got a year or two ago for a pittance, or around 5,000 euros. Today, beautiful examples range in price between 10,000 and 30,000 euros. But you can also find some online that are much more expensive.

Price range: from 5,000 euros to 60,000 euros

Porsche Boxster – 986 – MK1

Porsche Boxster

It is the spiritual successor of the 914 model and was created to help Porsche regain profitability. The car, which was otherwise known as a female Porsche, is not so innocent. The Model S, which came into production in 2000, had a 3.2-liter engine with 250 hp and basically 17-inch wheels. And since practically every Porsche is material for a future hit, we argue that even this little Porsche can gain a lot in the coming years, since it is located at a moment when its price is really low. Porsche Boxster S model – in medium to well-preserved condition can be bought today for an amount between 10,000 and 15,000 euros.


But we believe that this will not be the case for much longer. Above all, there are very few models on the market that are "full option", i.e. top of the line. If you find it and the price is right, then go for it. Boxster considered reliable.

Price range: from 7,000 euros to 20,000 euros
