    Investing in collectable cars can be a risky venture, but if done correctly you can get a good return on your investment. You will find that once you start digging into the business that there are people from all across the world that are trying to do the same thing. You need to be extremely proactive when it comes to finding the cars, and you need to be able to talk people down from an average price to one that is more beneficial for you. Anyway, let’s get right into some tips and risks that you will have to face when you begin your journey. A journey that will be filled with exhilarating rides, hair-raising drives, and happiness beyond belief.

    Top Tip: Do Not Sway From Your Original Classic Car Choices

    Before you even attempt to buy your first classic car you need to do some research. Find some classic cars that are popular with collectors and start searching for them. While looking around you may come across some other cars that look interesting, but since you have done your homework, you need to move on. The car may look cool but since it is not popular with people buying classic cars you do not want to spend money on it. Only buy what you have on your list and nothing else.

    Top Risk: Car Values Fluctuate With The Market

    No matter how much research you do, and how fast you find a car and prepare it to flip, there is always a big chance that the market has changed. A car that everyone wants one day, may be a car that is forgotten, and they have all moved on to another group. Personally, it is suggested that you spend a little more money to buy classic cars that are always in season (so to say.) It may cost you more to buy upfront, but you will always be able to resell it when you are ready to do so. 

    Top Tip: Specialized Insurance Policies Exist

    You may think that classic car insurance would be expensive, but if you look for a specialized company you can find some good premium prices that will still cover your investment. You do not ever want to go with a base policy because it will cost you more due to the fact that older cars are not as safe, and they can cost a pretty penny to replace. You need to check around and find a company that can cater to you and your investment.

    Top Risk: Capital Gains Tax Could Smack You In The Face

    As with everything else that could get you in a better financial position, the government will tax you if you earn some money when selling your investment. You will need to make sure that you prepare yourself to pay some taxes, so hopefully, you have not invested too much money into purchasing and repairing, because you may end up not earning anything after all your time and expenses are taken into account. 

    Final Thoughts

    This article is much too short to be able to explain all the top tips and risks when you invest in classic cars, but these four examples will at least get your thinking juices going. You are a unique person, so someone’s tip might be someone else’s risk. You need to think outside of the box when you are using classic cars as an investment.

     You will have the ability to make some good money if you hustle, bustle, and always stay in the know. Without all that, you will end up going the opposite way. You have the potential to lose some money, a lot of money after it is all said and done. Choose your investment classic car wisely, because it could mean the difference between a good sale, and a bad one.

    • 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.
