RS 500

[The Radman]

you certainly wouldnt want to buy a 500 for an investment,its too late for that now unless you can find one cheap enough,escorts on the other hand will keep rising i reckon for a good few yrs yet,although at a slower rate than they have been

Classic car market is just going crazy and some sought after motors are simply going through the roof, wonder when it will all go bang, great if you own motors for the love of it, if only for investment i think eventualy a lot of people will get seriously burnt.

No they won't drop that's a fact,jags they haven't dropped only gone up think of all classic cars prices from last 10-15 years they only go up ive yet to see a classic car drop in my whole life,it's just the penny has dropped now on the Rs mark cars there will never be anything like these again especially from the time they came out. they were the working mans super car but now the fact and reality is they are special cars and a very special time the 80s these cars were iconic and changed the goal posts for the working class man
Name any car these days that has carricter that rst,cossies have none I came from vw/audi originally and on occasion have been in a few mk1/2golfsvr6 can't stand them when I compare them to what I have now as far as I'm concerned that is.
Then again in my opinion you could park Lamborghini next to my cars and offer a swap and I still drive my carslol.......

Agreed about the cars,character, appeal etc, but never say never (is that a James Bond saying?), the classic car market crashed big time in the late 80's or was it early 90's (my memories crap these days) due to various reasons, it's no different to the property market, it can go tits up anytime

The classic car market could stop and some stuff could come down but the rs badge is to strong and the demand will always be there imo

What you must remember is that the rs500 has risen in value over the worst financial times this country has seen for a long long time , and if they can maintain there growth in those hard times i cant see them dropping

Classic cars have seen a massive uplift in there " must have " and this i doubt will stop

The only reason a market crashes is because there owners need the money , and if they can maintain there popularity in such hard times then why would they drop in the better times

Rs500s have done real well , and the rest of the rs brand will have there day and are following quickly

Get them while you can fellas

The RS brand is now seen by wealthy collectors as a serious brand and this will drive prices up and up

Regardles of what car make, it's down to interest rates and borrowed money, which is exactly why the 80/90's crash happened, would'nt it be nice to have a crystall ball, i just cant see these ever increasing prices being sustained and a MOST of it is driven by investors and not true car entusiasts and the real entusiasts are being priced out of the market.

I remember when 80's testarossas were million pound cars,one of my dads neighbours had one in about 1989 with the reg les54 ,the reg was worth more than what most peoples cars cost..Quentin was saying they were 25 granders until tecently a few weeks ago.. How times change up and down..

If we could only turn the clock back, i remember those as well. about a couple of years ago they were advertised between 25 to 40k, i was actually tempted but the shape is a bit marmite, wish i had now, the ferarri Dino 246 were about 60/70k about 3 years ago, they now fetch anywhere between 285 to 350k, Ferrari F40 350k 2/3 years ago, now 850k upwards, everything has gone potty

Very true
Only takes the interest rates to go the opposite way and the cheap money to stop ,which I think it will ,the rs seem relatively cheap in comparison to many cars at the moment ,when will the crash happen nobody knows but I'm sure it will happen in next couple years .when you see the high end classic car market some folk will lose their shirt .
A rs500 for 100k CRAZY
