the car idea is terrible.
1. Unless you pay cash you are paying tons of interest that you will never recoup
2. Even if it does appreciate (which it probably wont) it wont keep up with inflation.

We are actually in a declining market and probably will be for a while, wait for it to reach a low and then buy.

If you're looking for a car as an investment a new one isn't going to work. There's nothing out today that I could see being worth a damn in 30 years as everything is cookie-cutter mass produced crap. At the moment late '60's muscle cars are bringing really good prices. Old school Mopars especially with ones like the Hemi 'Cuda and Hemi Roadrunners bringing a mint when done right. If you want one as an investment, get an original Hemi Roadrunner or Barracuda convertible; they'll hold value.
