    Looking to invest on a Mustang,Z28 or Challenger

    I can't decide as they all hold and grow in value........

    I think the Z28 is not quite up to par with the Stang or Challenger........

    What do you think?

    Anyone own one of the above?

    Whoa!,I recant my opinion on the Camaro as this monster has 800 horses under the hood
    Too expensive for me though, @ $105,000

    Everybody I've known that's had a Mustang has had mechanical issues with it.

    So pick one of the other 2.

    Buy the one you want. If you're really gonna drive it it's not going to go up in value.

    Cool cars but bad investment. Cars depreciate. The only items that appreciate are collectibles and nothing is a collectible at inception... only decades later people then realize THAT was collectible.

    Get the model you like the most with a v8 and drive it and enjoy it... $40k new or $25k for a 3-year old used

    perfect example - the Grand NAtional from the 80's USA car market had not seen a legit muscle car for over 15 years and SO MANY bought these and never drove them. They are selling for $15k to maybe $30k now because people bought them at the time thinking it was a good investment.

    I have a Challenger....3 words....It's a Dodge I often bitch about it but overall it's been well to me...I have 98k on it and it's still plugging away

    so funny to see idiots keep paying $50k+ for these cars and it;s a Dodge....a Hellcat or Demon for $80k? INSANE

    Go buy a porsche or a vette with that money or a nice S5/A7

    Drove a Mustang as rental-car. I enjoyed it, but I'm ez to please.

    Based on my experience, I would purchase a used Mustang for sure.

    They all work from the same listings... so it's a matter of preference of the website, search tools, etc

    From an investment standpoint, the Yenko. Driving, a Ram.

    You don't invest in modern plastic cars that will never be worth more than when they left the dealership.

    The most recent cars that make solid investments would be low mile original 3rd gen Camaro's/Trans Am's, and the 5.0L Foxbody Mustangs. There are some limited production models that have skyrocketed in value as of late.

    invest in a CROWN VICTORIA !!!

    MOST SOLID investment ever - Sells for what u buy or more always even after years of use - comes at a lower price with enforced everything as a bonus. - I already owned 3 and will get one this spring again

    Pauly, you would look good driving a 'vette.
    Maybe reconsider.

    C`mon Nash. 67 is the year of the GOAT. 68 body style doesn`t hold up in comparison.
    My first car was a 68 LeMans. POS that I bought for $200 from original owner.
    Drove it for 3 years.

    Not sure where you live Pauly, but I bought a 2005 Mustang GT convertible by my specs.(that was fun)
    Only my summer car. Less than 28 K miles after 13 years on the road.
    The color, Legend Lime Green, still gets a comment or 2 almost weekly.
