Look at how much 20,25 year old muscle or hotties are tucked away sitting in sheds,or driving on sundays Look at the P3 ,in the 90s, still doin active service exactly what they were intended , to be driven How many early brockadores are there with minimal Ks,or late factory SS,similar ,there all hoping for the superannuation gold nugget return Theres no way id spend over 50 grand,morso well past 50 grand on something new ,on the hope that one day in the very very long distant future I mite ,if at all get a return on my money Youd be better off on a short term deposit,rolling it over every so often People think the boom of years past will happen again,i wouldn't bet my hard earned itll happen again Remember decades ago anything short of the P3 wasn't worth much,and even the P3 could be bought for a song |

The old fashioned petrol bowser might not be around in 30 years particularly in Europe where the Germans will have a big say with Asia close behind and the US forced to also through globalisation ... battery, hydrogen even fusion the way technology is accelerating.

Ive come to accept that XD,XE,XF will be cheap to buy for a long long time and parts will just become harder to get, as told by mates with XEs
Is this remotely true? |

May I suggest that anyone thinking of using a Falcon as an investment needs to seriously think again?
First, classic car investments are very long term, in the order of 30 years before they have a chance of becoming positive. And, even then, only if the market will support it. A simple NPV analysis assuming 3% inflation over 30 years indicates that an $80K vehicle will have to appreciate to at least $194K to stay with inflation. Whereas simply parking $80K into a bank account (the safest and lowest returning of all savings mechanism) will earn you $291K. Or putting that amount into the home loan will save over $441K in interest payments. Second, the market for home grown classic vehicles is presently overheated by cashed up bogans and tradies spending the wealth from the mining boom. The mining boom will not last and over the next decade or so, the relative wages for tradies against professionals will return back to where they were in the 1990’s. A middle age tradie might lust after a GTHO. A middle aged accountant will more likely lust after an Audi. You need to factor this into prospective 2040 sale prices. If you have the cash to spend or you wish to have a personal indulgence, go right ahead and get a V8 Falcon. But as an investment? May I steer you towards an investment advisor to talk the matter over first. |

Good advice, whynot, better be a good advisor with a good track record. (Better not get one who is also a Ford tragic!).
