I never look at it as an investment and I'm working on my 3rd project right now. To be valuable as an asset a vehicle needs to have some special option or just plain rare. Then to make money you have to buy it at a "discount" price. A friend that I use to go to the sales and wholesale cars and stuff once told me "you make your money when you buy it, not when you sell it". Meaning you know what you can sell it for so you have to buy very wisely. That is getting hard to do today because of a lot of factors. Most folks want waaaay to much for a vehicle that needs just about everything.
I have some friends that say to me "if times get hard you will be in good shape because of the vehicles which I can sell and make money. Well, in my opinion it don't work that way. In hard times folks will not pay what you think. They want a bargain if they know your having hard times. Of course in "hard times" there are folks who have money and willing to spend it, but they only want to give you a quarter on the dollar.
Investment??? I say Nay. Not unless your young and can buy, then sit on them, for the next 25 years.
I do it strictly for MY pleasure. Just my 02.
