Your Car: Tomorrow’s Collector Favorite
Do you know if the car that you driving right now is the car that is going to be quite a collector car in the future? No, this is not most certainly a joke. Collector cars of the future are most certainly cars that belong to this day and age. And your trusty vehicle may be included in the list. McKeel Hagerty is the CEO of Hagerty and he is also a very much known expert on collector cars valuation. He did say that there are vehicles at present that has the possibility of being those sought after ones in a span of years or so. And to help out consumers and customers find out if their vehicles are going to be worth it in the future, he has listed out his top choices and listed them out as part of the Hagerty’s Top 10 Future Collector Cars. According to Hagerty, the vehicles listed in his choices for the top collector cars of the future have been chosen so not because he does appreciate the vehicles himself but because of some criteria that he has seen in the present set of collector cars. He also included the criteria that he knows would be looked at for future collector cars. The criteria includes the vehicle’s popularity in pop culture, the limited number of production units, and the vehicle’s style as well as the wants of the next set of people who would be collecting the vehicles. He also did choose those vehicles that were not only affordable but were also quite fun to drive around. Hagerty emphasizes his choices by saying: “Many consumers may be driving a future collector car right now! Our goal was to find cars that drivers find appealing now, and that they may consider nostalgic in 15 to 20 years. Each car on Hagerty’s Hot List possesses a ‘buzz’, a Wow Factor that resonates with consumers of all ages, many cars being daily drivers that turn heads already.” Included in Hagerty’s list of future collector cars are two Toyota vehicles: the Toyota FJ Cruiser and the Toyota Scion. Two very notable vehicles included in the list for their size are the Mini Cooper and the Smart Car. Other vehicles you would be finding comprise of the Lotus Elise, the Dodge Viper, the Acura NSX, the Audi TT, the Jaguar XK, and the Chrysler 300. If, by any chance, you are driving one of those, you may want to consider keeping them in the best condition possible. You may add in some of those Extang Black Max units you can easily purchase in the market to give your vehicle that added protection from wear and damage. It is most certainly up to you. But there is one thing you may want to think of. Hagerty says, “Unlike the vagaries of the stock market, certain models not only retain their value but escalate in popularity and price far beyond expectations.” Think about that.
