Saving up for a new one or a used one? New ones are pretty exp (unless you go for like an A Class............. which is still pretty exp for what it is). Used ones in the $30k bracket aren't too bad (like the last gen C class). Pity they aren't all P plater friendly despite being considerably safer than many other cars.

Cars are bad investments peoples. Buy a scooter, some of them actually go up in value

The 2nd gen Prius and Golf GTi (Mk V) both appreciated in value too (at least initially).

Is that for cars in general or the two models which I mentioned?
I remember the huge shortage of both those models (the Prius and GTi) leading to some punters who bought in early trying to flog them off at a premium. One of my managers at work even managed to make a small profit on hers so that she could buy a new one in a different colour.

anyone who rides an aurion knows they are quick cars
they shit on commodore sv6's & xr6 falcons, and they consume less fuel, but they still eat alot of fuel regardless.
ive shitted on supras with them huge ugly cannons and trolley looking spoilers with my TRD which has been tuned, its funny when i look at my side mirror i see how far ahead iam.
im confident a stock aurion can give a supra a run for its money, they dont look quick, people think they are slow, but they are remarkbly quicker then what toyota claims them to be. toyota claims a time of 0-100 in 7.4 seconds, in actual fact, if you thrash a stock one and go hard out, you can get around 6-6.4 seconds, ive seen this on youtube, type it on a youtube search and watch the speedo fly, its awesome, yet they are stock cars!
yeh they are quick, i love my aurion regardless, but i sort of prefer the earlier model tailights than my one now and also front grille (mine looks sort of like the accord euro haha), but yes they do shit on the holden and ford v6's hahaanyone who rides an aurion knows they are quick cars

i think the new 09 aurion zr6 models look hot, there tailights look awesome with the frosty lights, and the front grill looks similar to a TRD, it looks more sportier and refined, atleast they made all models standard with alloys, before the atx would get them shitty steel caps, but the new alloys look alright, i think the new models for the new generation look way better, atleast the sprotivos look way better, the interior looks so much better, looks like a subaru libertys cabin the way its layed out and stuff.
cant wait when they release the camry hybrid model, they are quicker then the petrol models and actually remarkbly quick for a hybrid model, quicker then a v6 sv6 commodore, not bad for a hybrid lol. Not that i want one, but id love to take it for a spin myself sometime hehehe.

The plus side of steelies however is it adds a good incentive for the owner to buy aftermarket rims... whereas I paid extra for a VTi-L Civic and felt that I may as well leave the Honda (ugly) alloys on it since I paid for them!

In general. Those two cars are depreciating at the moment as well though. Buy a house and the graph will be in reverse (or scooter).

I was merely stating anomalies to the general trend. Obviously now that supply has come back and demand isn't as strong, this isn't the case anymore.
On another note, seriously though, who buys cars for them to appreciate in value? You buy them to enjoy or utilise. I do know some people who make a business out of buying and selling cars (not just used but I mean, buying cars just as they launch by putting down a deposit and then taking delivery and selling it at a huge premium to someone who really wants it)... but this again is the exception, not the rule.

saving up for a gas guzzler, notoriously known to be one of the slowest sports cars of its generation, they even made a promo ad for it. A 1959 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, this car is Cuban cigar sexy as. it's like i'm driving Charlton Heston or something. it will cost me fucking thousands for parts if it breaks down.
here's a link to a pic
