10 CHEAP Cars That Are SOARING IN VALUE! (Under £5,000!)

How are you doing? Welcome back to the channel and welcome to a video about 10

cheap

cars

that are absolutely increasing in

value

this past week. I made a video with exactly the same title, around £15,000. I said what if we got a thousand likes on that video. I'd do it at 5,000 and here we are the 10

cars

that have been going up the valley for quite some time and to be honest it looks like all 10 of them could keep doing it but as always they don't. Forget I'm in the UK so prices in other countries may differ and remember whenever you buy any second hand vehicle, maintenance, repairs, insurance, road tax, it's important to remember all that good stuff, yes enjoyed the video, would really appreciate it.

Let's see if we can get to 2000 on this one, that's going to be crazy, subscribe too if you're new, but without further ado, let's get into the video, let's start this video with the BMW Z3, ​​an appreciative roadster with its two-liter straight six . spec that makes 150 brake horsepower and doesn't hit 60 in 8.6 seconds that you may have seen in my last video on the subject. I mentioned the z4m as a car that is going up in

value

as a result of the astronomical rise of the z3m in the past. In 10 years or so, the z3 is a

cheap

route to owning something remotely similar to the z3m and the roadster is starting to gain traction as a classic car, particularly in its more desirable and wider post-facelift form in the last year: 3 liters and 2.8 liters.

Examples have gone from being available for under £5k at the low end to being available for over $5k and the other engines are following suit. Two-litre examples have been around the £1,500-£2,000 mark for quite some time at the lower end. End up with £5,000 now by getting your facelifted 1999 model with 60,000 miles on the clock at the top end, the best examples cost upwards of £10-15,000 in excellent condition, beware of engine knocking on start-up and faulty sensors. Thermostats have also been known to stay open and make sure the transmission fluid has been changed regularly. Most of the problems I could find were just wear and tear on the suspension components due to use.

The next step is a car that people are slowly waking up to brand one. The audi tt with its 1.8 liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine generating 221 brake horsepower that goes from zero to 60 in 6.4 seconds its bubbly shape has started to gain popularity in recent years and is beginning to gain a more classic status. As we speak to enthusiasts looking for the best examples to keep, there is a line of thinking that suggests that roadsters will actually be the best option in terms of long-term investments, as there are fewer of them, but they are just as popular as the qpay, personally I prefer the coupe, but I thought I'd make the point clear FYI.

It also comes with a 3.2-liter VR6 engine, but the 1.8 T-225 band block is one of the most sought-after options, in part due to its wide use. VW group cars in recent years have gone from being available for as little as a thousand dollars to around two thousand pounds, now five thousand pounds gets you a 2004 model with around 70,000 miles on it, corrosion is not a big problem. on these, but it can burst on the roof and seals, be careful when the cam belt tensioner and water pump have been replaced on the 1.8 as it is quite key and keep an eye out for oil leaks.

General maintenance on these is considered relatively cheap, but worth doing your research before buying, due to the sudden growth and value of VTSs, the Citroën Saxo VTR has quickly become a cherished classic, which seems so strange in my head , as I can remember when they were available for less than a thousand pounds at this time. You're looking at £2,000 on the low end for a racing example and there are still quite a few miles above the £5,000 mark. This is for a number of reasons before we get into it, it's worth noting that this car has a 1.6 liter inline engine. four producing 100 brake horsepower, going from zero to 60 in 9.1 seconds, making it the slowest and least powerful car on this list.

The Saxo was basically the same car as the 106, just with a different badge and some body panels and interior parts that differed from the The VTS gained popularity very quickly as the warm hatch example and the VTR was basically a slightly older equivalent. cold. Saxos were known as boy racer style cars for a while and were featured in magazines like max power in the early days, they also gained popularity in rallies and rallycross and you can find many converted VTRs on race car classifieds sites for all those reasons, The value of VTR and VTS has increased significantly and is becoming harder to find.

Corrosion is a key issue on these and also check for crash damage when these. were released, they came with free insurance, it can be quite difficult to find one that hasn't been modified too much. The electrical system is also known to be an issue, but the car overall is pretty cheap to work on, aside from the rust that old high performance Renaults have. They have consistently been shown to increase in value as people begin to appreciate them more with age and the renault clio renault sport 172 and 182 are very much in this transitional period. The 182 has a 2-liter inline-4 engine that generates 182 brake horsepower and a 0-60 time of 6.9 seconds.

Not bad for this warm little French hatch. Both were built on the Clio 2 platform and the 182 is an update of the Phase 2 172. The basics are pretty similar between the two, with some minor styling tweaks and obviously the engine gives that extra 10 horsepower. , the correctly specced first generation clio like the rsi and williams, are already worth a good amount of money and as mentioned the previous renault 5 turbo turbo 2 and gt turbo continue to gain popularity and value with the 172. and at the same time Being the 182 evolution of those cars into the modern era, they have the potential to gain traction at least along the lines of perhaps the GT Turbo and their value has been slowly increasing in recent years.

Two thousand five hundred pounds is about At the very least, you'll find working ones listed for five thousand dollars. You're looking at about eighty thousand miles on the clock. Trophy editions have recently exceeded fifteen thousand pounds. The engine is known to be quite durable as long as it is serviced on time. But a common problem is noise from the input cam timing variator which you need to replace along with the cam belt. There are also some known leaks, worn timing issues in the transmission and rust is not unheard of in my last video about cars going up in value that I mentioned. the integra dc5 type r which weighs around 15,000 pounds the ep3 civic type r has the exact same platform and engine but is a third of the price it has that k22 inline four cylinder engine with 197 brake horsepower and a notch of 60 times. 6.4 seconds and the lowest you'll find listed is around £3000 and 5 grand to get your 2005 example, there's still around 100,000 miles on the clock, the previous generation or ek9 Civic Type R has already started to rise in value. and the ep3 is slowly starting to do the same as it was around 2000lbs on the low end this time last year.

The jdm or mugens examples are definitely more desirable but obviously rarer and more expensive thanks to having lsds and recaro racing seats as well as more track focused chassis in general the non jdm examples are quite popular as is and the type r badge itself almost has its own cult following, which helps older examples increase in value as that popularity doesn't go away with In terms of reliability, the engine is known to be strong as long as the cam chain be changed on time at around 100,000 miles and as long as previous owners have given the engine time to warm up before the synchronizers operate.

Synchronizers are also known to be faulty if the transmission has been hacked I hope you are making the video if so make sure you hit the like button I would really appreciate it and also subscribe if you are new and follow me on Instagram on cars with jb where I post every day i'm trying to hit 10k there and i'm struggling so i need help. Next up is a car whose price has been rising for quite some time, the 20-valve turbo Fiat Coupe with its two. Turbocharged inline five-liter engine that generates 220 brake horsepower that goes from zero to 60 in 6.5 seconds.

I have noticed this car in many previous videos and it has a mixed sharp angle exterior design and freewheel interior design. It is known for its iconic shape. and Ferrari-style taillights, but the most important thing is that it is actually a high-performance car, particularly from the Fiat brand, and has earned its own status as a classic car that many expect high future values ​​from, although I have personally seen As prices have stagnated recently, the number available for sale appears to be declining as more and more are cut up or exported each year, there are now almost twice as many fiat q pays that have been taken off the road for storage as there are they are actually road registered here in the uk these are only barely available for under £5k the cheapest examples i could find look pretty rough at 3k for 5 grand you're still looking at over 100k miles on the clock.

Rust is known to occur on these, particularly on the sills and floor panels as well. Like the boots and front wheel arches, the coolant hose fitted to the rear can also fail, so it is worth checking and potentially replacing it for your peace of mind. Owners have been pretty happy with these overall, but have had to stick to the cam belt and water pump timings to ensure long life. -Long term reliability as an owner, I am obviously very happy with the next one, the first generation Mazda MX-5, also known as DNA, which has recently started to increase in value significantly.

You have two engine options, but for the sake of In this video I mentioned the 1.8-liter inline four-cylinder engine that makes 131 brake horsepower and takes the car to 60 in 8.3 seconds. Now I bought mine in September 2019 for a thousand quid in full working order with no critical rust issues and no need for new rear shocks. Now the minimum you'll find them listed for in similar condition is around £3,500 and 5 grand, getting you a pretty reasonable example with around 60,000 miles on the clock, these are much loved little sports cars and , like type r, have a strong cult following. What I have found is that this following is starting to evolve a bit.

You have those who buy them to modify them like crazy, those who buy them to turn them into track cars and finally those who buy them to go back to the original order and race. As a classic car, maybe not so much among the track community, but with the other two uses, this car's classic status has definitely been cemented in recent years, as many have died from rust-related issues, and each It's getting harder to get a good one. and the prices have benefited as such, I really wonder where the prices on these will go, as mentioned rust is the key issue on these and the main thing to keep in mind when you are in the market for a motor is very strong and many people.

I would like to add some type of forced induction to them that they can also handle in another convertible. It's now the first-generation Porsche Boxster with its 2.5-liter flat-six engine that produces 204 brake horsepower that goes from zero to 60 in 6.7 seconds. they will be available for under £3000 but now the minimum you will find them listed for is £4000 so at five grand you are still looking at fairly high mileage examples, I would say one of the key reasons for this is Simply because of their badge, classic Porsches have consistently had exceptional long-term values ​​and if we compare the 986 cases with cars like the 944 and 928, which are also increasing in value at the moment, there is a chance that they will continue to increase in value. value, in addition to These fried egg headlights that have started to win classic stages in the 996 911 are also here in the 986 and similarly have started to grow in people, in addition to all that, it is a fundamental car in history of Porsche as a car to open Porsche. to a slightly less affluent market while maintaining the Porsche standard of car design and handling, there are many known problems with these, but the 2.5s are not as well known for their problems as the block3.2 liters in the s.

I would like to point out that replacement parts are relatively expensive, so compared to some of the other cars on this list, you may need deeper pockets to keep one of these running. What's missing in first place is the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class, specifically the R129 series for £5000. About being able to get into a 1993 320 sl that has a 3.2-liter inline six-cylinder engine that made 228 brake horsepower and a 0-60 time of 8.1 seconds when it was released in 1989, It was a technologically advanced and hugely desirable sports car with added safety features. like the roll bar that raises automatically in the event of an accident, of course by today's standards it is not technologically advanced, but Mercedes has a habit of making cars look quite normal and boring after 10 to 15 years and then , suddenly they turn around and start to look like awesome classics. they are worth a small fortune, i think that is where this car sits at the moment, the sl class in particular is possibly the most famous and fundamental series of mercedes, with the 300sl, 190sl and 280sl classics being hugely expensive today, although the r129 was the first dsl that flipped. from having the letters after the numbers to before the numbers, which was between 1993 and 1995, it still takes its lineage from those classic SLSs and the fact that they've already become quite rare in the sub-£5,000 range is particularly revealing of where prices could rise.

In fact, I'll stick with these as just a few years ago they were at the absolute bottom of the depreciation curve, well below £5,000. Older examples are better regarding rust and overall the engines haven't been too bad, but the water pumps need to be replaced on the straight-six engines. The autobots have also been relatively reasonable, but of course they can become uneven over time and rise to the top. The point in this video, as it barely fits, is the Alfa Romeo Spider type 916 specifically in Lusso spec, which means a 2-liter inline-4 engine that makes 165 brake horsepower that takes you from north to 60 in 8.1 seconds and, by the way, I've arranged these cars from least to most expensive to reduce bias on my side, although I am a big fan of Alfa Romeo, the Spider is the two-seat convertible version of the GTV and in total only 39,000 Spiders were built worldwide, designed by Penn and Farina the goal was to revitalize the sports coupe category that alpha had been known in the past.

I don't know about you, but to me this car looks absolutely divine and when it was launched in 1995 it won 10 awards including best design and best design in the world. beautiful car, clearly some people agreed, of course the preference would be to have the 3.2 liter v6, but the value of all the cars has increased quite a bit even over the last year as they were between 2 and 3 thousand in April . 2020 and now weigh around 5000 pounds for working examples, both owners and journalists have praised the build quality of these compared to previous alphas, but I've also noticed that they are still not as solid as their German rivals, the 2 liter twin.

The spark motor has proven longevity, assuming it has been well maintained. The original exhausts are also nearing the end of their useful life, so save some money to replace them. I hope you enjoyed this video, if you did I would really appreciate it if you let me know. comments below if there are any cars I have missed out on for less than five grand what cars do you think are increasing in value as always a huge thank you to the sponsors and to you too for watching, see you next time
