I constantly see people saying a car is a depreciating investment (which I know is generally true) but there are 911s made in the pre 2000s still work about their same value with a rare few being worth more when you calculate for inflation. Given that by 2050 most cars on the road will be electric, I theorize the novelty of having a well kept gas powered Porsche from the early 2000s will hold its value with inflation, if not be worth even more by 2050 even when taking into account maintenance, insurance. Having the privilege of owning and driving a luxury vehicle, if well maintained for that long is priceless in and of itself. Any thoughts on my theory?

    Edit: Sorry I forgot to mention, I didn’t mean investment as in comparison to the s&p500, I meant as in just being able to enjoy the experience of owning a Porsche while having a little + on the side that it would hold its value well compared to like a 1998 toyota camry which is viturally worthless compared to a 1998 911. In the long run although the 1998 Porsche is more expensive up front, it’s actually worth something in 20 years.
