What are the next collectables? What should we keeping?

Lotto?! you little ripper. well done

I reckon a mint 5.0L VB-VH SL/E or a 5.0L or turbo VL might.

My first thought too but plenty available under new price still. Even the unicorn VB 308/4 speed SL/E are nudging 10k.

Still a minority. Not too much of their "limited" product ever was, and the total builds are often wrong too.

So the framed certificate with number 218 and the plaque with 218 and the number stamped on car 218 don't mean a single thing

Seems to have gone to a lot of trouble for something that means bull biscuits.

Contact will be made soon to receive reassurance and guarantee just like when first purchased and reliability and accuracy of numbers.

I wouldn't buy a car as an investment to make money, and definitely not a new one. Too risky, with the old ones you could get lucky on a price boom or still loose. That said if I was after a car to enjoy for a few years (with a view to either not loosing much or perhaps making some if I'm lucky) I'd buy an old car over a new one anyday. Almost all new cars loose around 50% in the first 5 years guaranteed, makes the troughs the old cars go into seem minor. Except if you paid $800K for a HO in '07 that is.

Technically that's what is do every day, lol.

But yeah, your right , hard to pick the winner.

If they are numbered then so be it. It is a rarity for GMH/Holden to do it and makes it also unique to date for Sandmans.

Ok so as a battler these days, I think forget anything with IRS unless it's a gto or SV variant. I think the last of the VS maloo Ute's will increase in time but to buy 1 as an investment you'd be better off with the HX standard ute I just sold *thumbsup* .... But lol I didn't buy any of my cars as an investment, cars are liabilities. Maybe in 30 years time some IRS dunnydoors will be worth more as an investment but doubt it'll be in my time if any even are. Want to buy a car to make money on it probably won't happen unless you buy it off some that needs money or someone who doesn't use the internet (aka some who's old school. Now I've forgotten where I was damn phone not showing whole msg at once hahaha).

Stick to what you know, don't try & predict the future unless you can accurately predict the lotto numbers lol I know I can't :-)

(The edit) still on the lookout for a roof turret for my HJ when my finances allow it)

A cheap car that is a good investment. VN SS, VN SV89 or a VN SV5000. They are the next collectable! How can I tell?? I supply stickers!!! They are more sort after than sandman ones!!!

Are you sure that's not just people turning cheaper VN's into "better" models or clones?
I hope you are right.... they are all pretty good cars. I remember when they were new and wanted an SV89 in white.

I think the later Monaros are looking like a car that is holding value better than average, and I reckon anything HSV is going to rise in value as the years press on. Remember, nobody thought GTR Toranas or HQ Kingswoods would ever be worth anything either....

[stickthis]

Defiantly right mate. A nice restored VN SS will fetch $15k!!!

Ive got to know the VN crowd quite well. I don't own one. But I chat with may of the owners of them often. They still don't understand rust though. If it has a bubble near the window seal.... Well its a write off. They scrap it and find another "rust free" shell...

[Valencia]

VNs i dont think so Tim you can pick them up cheap as
they have been flogged to death

[Big Rob]

Yeah, but you used to be able to pick up HQs cheap too..... and EHs, and HRs, and Sandmans!
