Ferrari or Lamborghini?

Ferruccio Lamborghini, born in agriculture, always wanted to grow more than “just” food. He was interested in technology and mechanics. Lamborghini served in the Second World War, he then took over the technical sophistication of military machines and used them for agricultural equipment such as tractors. His tractor business made him very wealthy. Like everyone who comes to wealth, he bought several luxury cars, including a Ferrari.

Lamborghini’s great passion for cars goes so far that he even drove his own races. He is very good at car mechanics and so he decided that the cars (Ferrari) had to be changed. When he was racing his Ferrari, he noticed that the road was much too loud and rough. Another problem with the car was that the clutch in the interior needed frequent repairs. The rest is history. Today models like the Lamborghini Diablo GT 1 are sold for $1 million.

Cars: advantages, disadvantages and risk

In addition to the three basic rules of rarity, original condition and patience, the increase in value must exceed the running costs of the value investment car (sport, youngtimer and classic car).

What does classic car actually mean and when is a car a youngtimer? Youngtimers are usually cars and motorcycles that are at least 15 years old when built. At the same time, they must not be older than 30 years. If your car is older than 30 years, it already officially counts as a classic car.

Sports cars, youngtimers and classic cars can be easily obtained and purchased by anyone on the used car market, so getting started is easy. However, it is extremely important to have specialist knowledge. Experience in the field is absolutely necessary, for laymen completely unsuitable and also in the risk medium to high, without knowledge.

Advantage: Increase in value

• Active enjoyment of the object instead of ‘only’ investing in value
• Attractive increase in value

Disadvantage: Only in original condition

• You need a lot of experience and know how for the valuation and purchase
• High research effort for rare models
• Value appreciation only in original condition

Rule for the purchase as an investment

1. Rarity – the rarer the better
2. Original condition – especially for vintage cars
3. Patience – time pressure is counterproductive

The return on cars is medium to high if the appreciation is given by following the 3 rules for car buyers. Where there are high profits, there is always risk, with automobiles as an investment, the risk is high and investments should be made accordingly with planning. Cars are one of the investment objects especially for men, but for laymen the investment in cars and classic cars is unsuitable. We recommend a good alternative, such as funds and bonds. With a little more risk tolerance also real estate.

The most expensive car in the world

There are some exclusive pieces on the current car market. There are also some rare collector’s items that many are particularly keen on.

Ferrari 250 GTO in detail

Currently, there is one car that surpasses all others. The most expensive car in the world is currently the Ferrari 250 GTO!

The Ferrari 250 GTO already counts as a classic car. But what makes the 250 GTO so special? The sports car was produced extremely rarely and is still today, there are only 36 copies in the whole, wide world.

At the last auction, the Ferrari achieved the absolute record price of 48.4 million US dollars.

Converted, this amounts to almost 42 million euros.

In 1964 the model was developed.

Engine Start: Ferrari 250 GTO

Cheap alternatives to Ferrari & Co

Only 36 of the GTO were produced, so the model is correspondingly rare on the market. If you’re looking for normal equipment that you can sometimes use yourself, for example for a nice trip on the country road in the summer, there are also affordable models such as the BMW 3.0 CSi and VW Beetle. Both are increasing in value, as is the Porsche 911 Carrera RS. For example, the VW Beetle 1300, built from 1967 to 1973, is gaining 45.5% compared to last year.

Value appreciation BMW 3.0 CSi and VW Beetle

The development in the overall market is slowing down, yet both models are gaining. As Autobild.de reports, “the BMW 3.0 CSi (E9), built between 1971 and 1975, experienced a 46.7 percent increase in value last year,” it continues, “making the sports coupe the classic car with the biggest price increase nationwide in 2018, according to the index.”

Currently, there are only 441 registered vehicles of the 200 hp BMW 3.0 CSi (E9) model left on the market. The market value is “at 70,000 euros (condition 2)”.

It’s a completely different story with the VW Beetle, which is the most frequently driven classic car here in Germany. At the beginning of 2018, “the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (Federal Motor Transport Authority) listed 36,528 examples with H license plates in the vehicle register”.
