You probably would only want to use the car very infrequently as well to minimize mileage. For 99.5% of people and 99.5% of cars one would be way better off just buying some mutual funds...

Anecdotally I bought a E46 M3 at a seemingly killer price as an "investment". I planned to drive it for a couple months and sell it a bit later. As you might surmise I lost my ass on the car. Not 100% relevant to your question but still yet still quite relevant from a top level perspective.
If you had found a nice BMW 507 or a Z8 then you would have made some money Z8 go now over $120K and the 507 well over $500K up to a mill and more on the BMW side ... there are others that are priceless like the most priceless collectable Ferraris --->Check it out here
