Interesting what's your thought agree?

Good cars will, crap ones won't. Mk4 Supras are already stupid money, as are R34 GT-Rs. On the flip side, mk2 MR2 Turbos are peanuts and frightfully quick, and let's not even look at how cheap the billionty Inprezas are...

 

The 90's also had an awful lot of dross, let's not forget that!

80 and 90s cars are modern classics now, hence their increase in value... but as has been said only the good/exotic or relatively rare examples (Cosworth 500, Imprezza 22B, Evo TME... anyone?). It usually takes a car to become a classic proper (aka 40+ years old) and in good condition before any old car is worth money. Most are scrapped before that stage, if not worthy.

 

I reckon the zed, for example, has pretty much hit rock bottom price wise now. We'll see a load at around the £2k mark for a year or two before they go to the scrapper in the sky and then the ones that are left and unmolested will start to increase in value in another 10 years or so from now.

I think they've got longer to go before they start going up again... the 350z was made and sold in much greater number than any of the desireable 80s and 90s cars were, so its going to be a long time before they start getting rare - plentiful supply will mean prices are low. Also, theres really no reason why they should start being scrapped, we know the engine is good for 200,000 miles if well maintained.

 

Rust may start to become an issue though, as the earlier cars are now starting to bubble up on the rear arches in most cases.
