Don't get me wrong.. I fucking love Diablo's.. they are amazing cars.
But I look at classic and exotic cars for the investments, as well as the style.
One of the best ways to judge a cars potential value is by the number of years it has been in production, the production run, and WHAT years those cars were made.
During economically difficult time, recession etc, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus.. even BMW, and Mercedes made fewer cars. They also lowered the production run of several cars to try and stimulate sales with new models.
We all remember this car, the Ferrari 308 and 328. This was Ferraris way of trying to save the company. They made a zillion of these, and as a result, you can pick one up for $30K to $50K in the U.S.
Well, I hate to burst your bubble.. the Diablo and F355 production runs were more than the 328 and 308 combined. The Ferrari 355 and Diablo will lose value because both companies made so many of the model (body style) during a hugely successful financial boom.
IMO. The best cars will be the ones made during economic recession. Slower production lines, more attention to detail, lower production runs, model changes every 3 years rather than 10.
