Cars are poor investment actually. Just take a look even at Ferrari top dogs - F40 prices gone from peak to bottom several times and today continue to move downwards again, cars are starting appear for sale for a very good price.

Even Enzo prices are started to fall the peak with less buyers and more and more cars put for sale. Actually now about 40 Enzos are for sale and many of them are standing at the floors for quite a long time. And I suspect that downward trend will continue for few years, especially if the successor will be brilliant. So it could turn out being not so good investment at all.

Zondas hold their value well, but again this is mainly because of limited supply not because of massive demand. There are also cars standing quite a long time for sale. But with Paganis seller will always meet buyer, as I told before because of very limited supply.

All other cars like mainstream Ferraris, Lamborghinis, SLR and so on - in fact after couple of premium sales during first years after launch they falling of the rock very fast. Those are cars to drive and to enjoy, not thinking about their value. I would say one exception could be a CGT, prices touched the bottom and car is starting to appreciate, it will not be a investment and prices will not be crazily high, but given the fact that car is brilliant it will have buyers for it and prices will be rather stable.

And now the most interesting part - Veyron. The production is stopped at 270 cars produced, not so few, but not that many also. In all these years almost no one wanted pre-owned car specced by someone for such price when it was possible to order brand new one from the factory, I know wealthy people who will never buy pre-owned car when he can order new, but when he can't he will search for it in the pre-owned market. Now the production run is stopped, not the interest for Veyron. Without possibility to order one brand new buyers will start to look for clean low-mileage cars. So my scenario would be following - prices will continue to go lower for a while, than stabilize and then will go upwards again. Trust me there will be takers for this car just because there will never be another and those guys are hard to scare with maintaining costs. I am not speaking about crazy upward spike, but there will not be cars appearing as cheap as few were this year.

And of course number one of all modern collectors cars is F1, I can't imagine a factor which can make the downward trend in prices.

 

In todays world; nothing can escape depreciation. LOL
