What cars will be worth big money in a 30yrs time
So we know old GTHO Falcons and SLR Toranas, and the like are fetching big money now-a-days.
so my question is what Current cars that you can buy now do you think will be fetching big money in 30yrs time.
im not talking about your exotics like Ferrari, Porsche, R35 Skylines and etc.
i will make it $40,000 limit, only cars under that price
just your plain jane cars.
k GO..

Why would a cheap plain car fetch big money in 30yrs? If everyone could go out and buy one, then, ....
Cars like the GTHO were ludicrously expensive, had outrageous performance and were so scarce that you could have sold it at a profit straight after delivery.
The only thing I can think of that comes close is the W427.

My Dad did up an old Dato 1600 that had been written off. He was a panel beater. Gorgeous old thing. I used to love driving it around. My Mum made him trade it on a Camry. Broke his heart. Broke mine too.
Some guy bought it and it is now a show car and worth a packet.
I have no idea what will be worth money in years to come. Cars like Toranas were everywhere when I was young. Our school was given one by the local Holden dealers for the learn to drive program they had. My Dad had a perfect HK Premier and my boyfriend had a HT Kingswood. I had a perfect 1970 Mini K 1100. I'd hate to buy one of those now. Then I got a 929 Coupe. Pointy nose RX4 shape. I really wish I never had to get rid of my cars. After my history of having great cars and getting rid of them I'm not selling the ones I have now. They're probably the ones that are going to be worth money one day.
So on my history I'd say Mazda 121 Bubble and a CJ Lancer will be worth a packet in years to come lol
Z3M
Can be had for around 30-40k these days (Aus prices) and it wouldn't surprise me if it becomes 100k+ in 30 years
R32 GTR
Although they're cheap at the moment with the amount being written off they will become a collectors item and price will increase in time.
I agree with Adam, the CRX will go up in price, too. Awesome little hoon car It may not fetch as much as an NSX which are currently 60k+ but it'll probably be worth a bit in 30 years.
Leyland P76 - perhaps. It was the only Aussie developed & built (?) car, they're kind of cheap at the moment but it could go up in value.
I don't see the CJ ever being a classic, yes it looks awesome but in the line of mass produced cars from, say, 1985 almost none of the big brand names show any sign of value going up.
I'm talking the standard models too, ie v6 commodores, v6 falcons, lancers, camrys etc. The high end models like Senators or Tommi Mäkinen Evo 6's can hold value and may increase in value too.
just my 2c

MG ZT 260. Only a very small amount came here before MG pulled out of Australia and soon after closed up for good. When they turn up on the used market they go pretty quick. The value in them is higher if its the 1st gen version before the updated front bar came in. Most of the 2nd gen owners did the front bar conversions to switch back to the 1st gen version.
Renaultsport Clio, the v6 one. Dont think there is many of them here either.

P75 will NEVER be worth anything, maybe if Metal becomes extramly rare

I'd like to think that if ever the Evo X and RA will not have successors, they will fetch good value.
This is nothing more than a Commodore with a Corvette Z06 engine.
