But anything before 1970 will bring you a profit even after driving it for 20 years. This is what I have done most of my life. Pick up vehicles made before 1970 and put 10k-20k in them and then double my investment after I drive them for 10 years. I don’t lose money because of depreciation, I actually make money in the end because of the demand for classics.
I was going to come back home and get it for use after tech school (1982) but my mother sold it without my knowledge. To say I was pissed is an understatement. I was furious! My need to purchase another vehicle led me down a path of financial hardship that I still deal with to this day.
