I know of one guy who has made money "investing" in cars and he started back in the late 60s in HS when his dad bought him a yellow Ferrari Dino. The car has less than 1,000 miles on it. It's stored in a garage with the 80s vintage Porsche 911, another low mileage Ferarri and a Lamborghini.
I just ordered a new BMW X3 M40i.
I figure when I run 100,000 miles on the M40 it will be worth "not much"...no different than any other "mainstream" luxury car maker.
I bet I could lock my 2016 228i 6MT coupe away today for say 50 years and "maybe" "break even" on the original cost of $33K.
Rarity of a desired car decades later and low/no miles is the investment.
