    Why Are The Classic Cars So Valuable?

    The question of classic cars and increased value is something that has been a topic of high conversation these days. But before going any further, we would like to clarify something, and that is the definition and what makes it classic in the first place.

    What is a classic car?

    A car can be called classic when it is between 20 to 40 years old, depending on your source. If this is the case, there are many cars that have been around for more than 40 years, and all of them have the right to be called classic.

    This is not the case; however, because for a car to be termed as classic, it has to be maintained close to, or even identical to the original manufacturer’s specification. Especially with extensive repair work, there will be major modifications, and the car cannot truly be called a classic. Another feature of the classic car is the outlook, particularly when maintained to almost look like a car just out of manufacturing. That’s why classic Mercedes car restorations are so in-demand. Restorations return the classic car to factory conditions and restore its value. It is much better than simple repair work. 

    Now that we fully understand the definition of a classic car, what makes them so valuable?

    It’s pretty simple. A classic car is just that – a classic car, and for every passing day, it becomes classier. Now, as they become classier, they also become limited with each passing day, which makes them a scarce commodity. It is the same with modern cars because people who cannot afford the expensive ones go for common cars, making the expensive and more sought.

    Finally, on a lighter note, most people who have the funds have things they cherish and would love to have in their homes, and some of them are these classic cars. In this case, they would go to any length to get them, including a hike in price. With this being a trend with many of the rich and high-class people, it has sunk into the mentality of other wealthy individuals making it a well-sought commodity as well, and when this was noticed by those who seemed to have these cars may be by chance or for sentimental reasons, they also have taken it upon themselves to not only maintain them but squeeze every penny out of any rich folk who looks to buy these cars from them. 

    Bottom Line

    Whenever there are scarcity and high demand, there is always a hike in price as well, which is why these cars are so valuable to many. It has become the norm and the mentality of people to treat classic cars with value.

    Think of them as the soldiers who went to war and came back and are still amongst us. Even though you cannot buy them, for anyone who hears that they fought for their country, they value them more since they know what they have been through as well as what it takes to still be on their feet. 

    Classic cars have been and are still valuable. If you have one, you have a gold mine waiting for the picking, particularly when it is top-notch

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
