There was a sporty version of the Geo Metro/Suzuki Swift sold in the late 80's -early 90's called the Suzuki Swift GTi/GT. It was powered by a 1.3L Twin Cam engine that had about 100hp. It was a quick hot hatch in the day and I bet if would be fun to drive today.
Here's one: Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4. They were massively expensive in the 90's (60 - 70k), but now can be found for as little as about 6k in descent running condition. The super clean unmodified ones from the last gen (with the Supra style wing) are selling regularly between 50k and 85k. Even the super heavily modified ones with 1000+ HP are selling for upwards of 50k.
Love the father son vids fellas, my dad is my best friend but lives a couple hours away so I can’t see him as much as I’d like. This kind of content warms my heart ❤️
The Jeep XJ 4x4 window sticker I remember was about $29,900+ tax title license at Marquette Park Jeep in 1999...you must be referencing a 1984 with a 4 cylinder with 2wd.
I have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee limited with 322,000. I traded a 1992 Civic hatchback si to my buddy to get it. Best car deal I ever made. Still daily the Jeep to work everyday and gets almost 22mpg.
I do notice that one vehicle that's appreciating or at least holding steady in value at the moment is the 2003-2006 Subaru Baja. It wasn't sold in big numbers, but has gained a cult following ever since. I've seen good to excellent condition models, especially the turbo XT models sell for at least $10K or more. I think that within the next five years, the Baja will become an oddball collectable just like it's Subaru cousins, the BRAT and the SVX coupe.
I can't believe no mention of the gen 4 Toyota Supra. Sold at 30k when New sold at 90k today. They have staved off inflation and gone up 200%. Not a bad return....
I really enjoy your channel - especially the episodes involving the XJ and the Comanche! That is probably because I have a 1991 Cherokee Laredo, white, with the 5-speed manual (AX-15), and 4.0L "High Output" inline 6. I am the original owner. It has spent its entire life in the Front Range of Colorado. It was my daily drive until about 2 months ago. It has had nothing but Shell V-Power and Mobil 1 since Day 1. It has been maintained by the same shop for the past 25 years and they have all the service records. It has 190K miles and is completely stock except for an OME suspension kit that yields about a 2" lift and MUCH better handling on or off road. (It still looks stock; you cannot really tell it is lifted unless it is parked beside a non-lifted one.) The interior is virtually spotless. There is virtually no rust (a tiny bit on the driver's door). Sadly, since I do not have a barn where I could keep every vehicle I have ever owned, I must sell it in the near future since its parking spot is now occupied by a 2020 Tacoma Off-Road. Are XJ's like mine really worth on the order of $5-10K? Or do those prices refer to vehicles that have already been meticulously restored?
"Scouts are not prone to long life" ???? The drivetrain components in a Scout are stout. Medium duty engine with forged internals, heavy walled high nickel block and gear driven timing (the same engines were used in dump trucks and school buses), torqueflite 727 trans (used behind big blocks in motorhomes), Dana 20, 300 or NP205 all gear driven transfer cases, fully boxed frames.... They may rust, but the rest is built like a tank
Love all the XJ love lately - I've had half a dozen XJ's over the years and have always loved them. Currently have a 95 that is my favorite one that I've owned.
I lament getting rid of my XJ Cherokee.😥 Another car going up in value is the Suzuki Samurai. One in good condition easily goes for more than when they were new. It's increasingly hard to find clean ones that haven't been lifted and modded.
I bought a S2000 new back in 2002 and it now only has 7 thousand miles on it. Always garaged, never even driven in the rain, looks exactly as the day I bought it. I own too many vehicles and just never had time to drive it. Now I’m afraid to drive it as the value is going up.
@james avery The 2002 had 4 doors on the 1500. Mine was garage kept with no rust. Looked nearly new inside and out. I bought it new in 2002. It ran great but yes I see that most have a rust problem and I was afraid of that. I bought new Tundra TRD 4wd with 5.7 to replace it. Nearly 40 k.
I would throw in any GM B Body car (mid 1980s). Especially Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, and Chevrolet Caprice. They are at the lowest price now and right now many of them are being exported out of the US. My first car was an 86 Cadillac Fleetwood and let me say those old boats can be a lot of fun to steer around and they look pretty good if kept up in original condition.
I have a 92 Corrado that I bought new long ago. When I choose between that and a 92 GTI, it wasn't because the GTI had four doors. GTIs didn't come in four doors until around 2008. It was because the Corrado was the first VW to come with the newly developed VR6 engine.
@@djkenny1202 I bought a new 16v GTI in 1988. When I got my 92 Corrado I only used it in the Winter, but I moved South and thought I didn't need it so I left it at my brother's. He started driving it and then sold it with 125k miles. Many years later he was at a gas station and it was at the pump next to him. He could recognize it due to the wing I had installed. It didn't look great but it had 260k miles and was still going strong. Whenever I drive up Georgetown hill in Colorado in my 2015 Sportwagen TDI I think back to my 88 GTI. When I had the ski racks on the GTI, I would get up speed in the preceding flat part and floor it to watch my GTI slow down as I went up the hill. With my Sportwagen I just leave it on cruise and scream up Georgetown hill at any speed getting almost 30 mpg.
A ute going up in a bit of value here in Australia is a Malaysian vehicle. It's the proton jumbuck where 3 grand a few years ago now it can be had at 13 grand.
Have to agree with the younger man on the 914. I'm 56. My first Porsche was a '74 914. It had a tuned, fuel-injected flat 4 from VW and was darn good! And Cool! The styling is timeless and ages well. I sold mine after 10 years of use, when I could finally afford a new Boxster S in the same orange color. I miss the 914! The orange car you showed at minute 4:30 was not a 914. Rather, it was a 914-6. This was the Porsche-engined, 6-cylinder version that was only produced for a few years. The 914-6 is more valuable and harder to find than the 914. Every fan wants one.
2001-2005 Lexus IS300. They have the tuner nostalgia factor going for them, as well as the fact that it's a RWD sedan with a variant of the 2JZ in it. Most are clapped out, so the remaining examples are sure to go up in price, especially as they are quickly approaching the 25 year mark. Sportcross wagons are already impossible to find for less than 8K.
Any late 90's 4.0 Liter Cherokee, my favorite car of all time by the way, has shattered and melted switches, back hatches that won't open and rotten wiring. Good luck though.
As a teenager I always wanted a Porsche 914 with the six cylinder engine. They looked fun. I still wouldn’t mind having one. They are quirky and I guess that’s why I like it better than a 924 or 944
Corrado production overlapped the Scirocco, and both were actually based on the Golf/GTI of their generation. The Scirocco was on the MK1 Golf platform, the Corrado was on the MK2 platform.
I have a nice XJ and I’m seeing this. I used to own a FJ40 in the 90’s. I sold it and made 2k but if I kept it it would be worth over 20K today. The very same thing with the FJ40 is the rust free stock ones are the most valuable ones. I would absolutely not cut an XJ these days.
@@SergioLopez-tq6wq I don't know your situation but it's not big money for one of these. I think the bigger problem is finding one in nice condition. Wish you luck!!
V8AmericanMuscleCar yes, I found one in great condition here in Miami with only 68K miles, but probably I’m gonna end buying a newer wrangler because they they are better for everyday use
Wrangler Jeeps. Built prior to April 23rd 1992. Were Built at the AMC plant. Only the payroll checks identification stickers, Chrysler mirror etchings. And center caps with the Chrysler logo. We're the only things that came from Chrysler. All yj Wranglers prior to April 23rd 1992 Will go up in value. AMC made a good product. It was rollover lawsuits that did them in.
Joseph, you're not wrong at all. Even over here in the UK, XJs are going up in price. They used to be readily available for £500 (due to their thirst and our high fuel prices) but now it's not uncommon to see them go for £4-5,000. Also, I don't quite understand the unibody hate. XJs have been pretty well proven to be a long lasting vehicle and the unibody doesn't really cause any problems.
Yes...I have a rust-free '89 two door,. Completely stock except the radio...needs brakes and headliner.....2 MATURE owners! Should I keep it or sell.? Kurt 626 379-4185. (message or text responses only - no scam calls or funny fones.)
@@Alex0992 I had a 1996 XJ 4WD that got 17 city and 22 hwy consistently. Yeah once you start adding tires, wheels, lift, etc the gas mileage will decrease exponentially.
@@JohnDoe-wy2py yeah 12 is exaggerating but I had 3 stock xjs all 3 got 16mpg or under city. Which is terrible. The backseat is basically unusable no leg room and small back doors. It's great in the snow though. The xj is a great winter/snow vehicle other than that 0/10 would never own again.
Horsepower and torque don't really have a hell of a lot to do with how collectible a car is. An Austin-Healey 100 or 3000 doesn't have a crap-ton of power, but it takes a crap-ton of money to buy a decent one now. Sunbeam Tigers didn't have a crap-ton of power, either, but they aren't exactly free, these days. Porsche 356's aren't powerhouse cars and they aren't inexpensive, either. There have been a lot of cars made that qualify as "enthusiast cars" based on performance. In it's day, that's what the Integra Type R was. But it was something else, too. It was a "hobby car." Maybe not for original owners, but for subsequent owners, definitely. Honda cars of this era are popular "hobby cars" because they're fun to tinker with for people who like to do their own maintenance, repair, upgrading, and modification, and there's a decent aftermarket out there catering to those folks. Not all "enthusiast cars" make great "hobby cars." As front-drive cars go, Honda / Acura sport coupes from the 90's and 00's do, I can definitely see why the Acura Integra R is a car that may appreciate in value over time.
Last place I'd expect to hear Rockford being mentioned is in a video like this. Strange coincidence my family used to have a CRX around the late 90s-early 00s purchased from a Rockford area guy. It had a horrible exhaust leak and it couldn't idle anymore so a foot had to be on the gas at all times out of gear. Also a neighbor stole the radio out of it which was the last straw to have it junked. Knowing that I'd still own one of any trim level because they feel like little gokarts
1993' D21 Nissan Hardbody 4x4 king cab (V6/5-speed) Hard to find and definitely going up in value. I know because people are always trying to buy mine, By the way the 93' is very rare and highly sought after One of the best years because it was a mid year model with the newer engine and updated gauge cluster (previous years has known to melt) The sheet metal was still non crumple , easier to work on, very few restrictions and sensors. Also my favorite part is that square 80s dashboard that you can still find in the 93'. The secret here is Datsun quality was still very present , but after 1994 that's when the quality of these mini trucks started to change. Many more good things I could list but that's would be for another day..
Very cool! Add low mileage 94-98 Mustang GTs and Cobras to that list. In the next 5 years ..... The Fox bodies are already climbing, and those are next. These are juuuuuust starting to tick up a little for low mileage, pretty stock examples.
*1980-1990 Cadillac's* Was roughly $3k for a good one in the 90's to mid 2000's Now, 10k-30k for the same car *1994-1999 Chevy/GMC 1500 and 2500* In 2010 a clean 1998 GMC was $4k, now it's $8k-$11k
You won't be disappointed. I've owned a 2000 limited and a 97 sport. I totaled the 2000 in a crash, but I could kick my own ass for selling the 97 when I needed Lasik eye surgery. The 4.0 is definitely the most reliable gas engine ever built.
Late 90’s original condition Tahoe / Yukon 2 door. They are appreciating, and at this point a good condition non altered example is rare. I have a very clean, basically original 96 Yukon GT that I have had appraised and it’s going up in value.
@@juanbarajas5376 Wow that's crazy! Was it heavily modded? In 2018 I got my 2000 for $5k and it was rust free from Colorado. I've put about $4k into it but it was worth it and it's set for many more years of use.
How about the 2008-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac "Adrenalin". I've been shopping them for two or three years, and they seem to be moving upward in price.
Babylon falling be careful with the cylinder cavitation use coolant additive. Those trucks are nice but nothing really special parts will just get harder and harder to find.
GTi’s at that time were 2 doors. And maintaining a Corrado will break the bank. Brutal cars to maintain. The 916 is a way a better investment than the Corrado, Tourage or any older VW. Unfortunately, they already appreciated in price.
Yeah, but it shows Ford is taking this serious. They are designing the wheel wells to accept 35 inch tires. The Axel and drive train will be strong enough to handle it as well. It's a great sign
My Jeep has 168k miles I’m parking her before too long. Plan on getting body work and paint done some time next year then I’m just going to let her sit until I can sell it to someone that really wants it, aka someone that’ll pay me more than it’s worth 😂. Im fixated on getting 7-8k just to see if I can, only paid 3k for it

Square body Chevy in clean original condition should be on the list
Also from the same era and platform, the 1973-91 Suburbans and K5 Blazers have also started to appreciate as well within the last few years.
All of the g bodies too, not just the grand national either.
Its already hard to find good 4wd cherokees that aren’t clapped out and they are valued as if they in like new condition
Someone in my area is asking 5000 for a 98 with 232k miles rockers completely rusted through. It's insane.

V8AmericanMuscleCar yes, I found one in great condition here in Miami with only 68K miles, but probably I’m gonna end buying a newer wrangler because they they are better for everyday use
@@SergioLopez-tq6wq you can have fun with every Jeep! ❤
Cheers!
@@SergioLopez-tq6wq I will be one of those people in a month
Wrangler Jeeps. Built prior to April 23rd 1992. Were Built at the AMC plant. Only the payroll checks identification stickers, Chrysler mirror etchings. And center caps with the Chrysler logo. We're the only things that came from Chrysler. All yj Wranglers prior to April 23rd 1992
Will go up in value. AMC made a good product. It was rollover lawsuits that did them in.
When you are looking at the Scout be aware that parts can be very expensive.
3:13 i thought he was going to make a "your mom" joke XD
the 1978- 79 Ford bronco real nice ones not cheap
Completely stock excellent condition second gen XJs are commanding higher prices than TJs now.
Absolutely not
I mean, everything I said is accurate, sooooo......
Sorry for your ignorance 🤷🏼♂️
Joseph, you're not wrong at all. Even over here in the UK, XJs are going up in price. They used to be readily available for £500 (due to their thirst and our high fuel prices) but now it's not uncommon to see them go for £4-5,000.
Also, I don't quite understand the unibody hate. XJs have been pretty well proven to be a long lasting vehicle and the unibody doesn't really cause any problems.
And you can’t even put manual hubs on the front haha.
keep driving the value of my XJ up please
Yours all my local junkyard has a bunch of them
Yes...I have a rust-free '89 two door,. Completely stock except the radio...needs brakes and headliner.....2 MATURE owners!
Should I keep it or sell.? Kurt 626 379-4185. (message or text responses only - no scam calls or funny fones.)
Looks like I am gonna restore my xj and keep it lol
Would love an XJ.
Until you realize it gets 12mpg city.
@@Alex0992 I had a 1996 XJ 4WD that got 17 city and 22 hwy consistently. Yeah once you start adding tires, wheels, lift, etc the gas mileage will decrease exponentially.
@@JohnDoe-wy2py yeah 12 is exaggerating but I had 3 stock xjs all 3 got 16mpg or under city. Which is terrible. The backseat is basically unusable no leg room and small back doors. It's great in the snow though. The xj is a great winter/snow vehicle other than that 0/10 would never own again.
My XJs get 18.5 and 20mpg on the hwy
I have a two door XJ with the 4.0 and 5speed I get like 16ish with 31” tires on it
Sweet! Keeping my 99’ XJ forever! It’s completely stock with 220k miles. I want to do small tasteful modes.
Horsepower and torque don't really have a hell of a lot to do with how collectible a car is. An Austin-Healey 100 or 3000 doesn't have a crap-ton of power, but it takes a crap-ton of money to buy a decent one now. Sunbeam Tigers didn't have a crap-ton of power, either, but they aren't exactly free, these days. Porsche 356's aren't powerhouse cars and they aren't inexpensive, either.
There have been a lot of cars made that qualify as "enthusiast cars" based on performance.
In it's day, that's what the Integra Type R was.
But it was something else, too. It was a "hobby car." Maybe not for original owners, but for subsequent owners, definitely. Honda cars of this era are popular "hobby cars" because they're fun to tinker with for people who like to do their own maintenance, repair, upgrading, and modification, and there's a decent aftermarket out there catering to those folks.
Not all "enthusiast cars" make great "hobby cars."
As front-drive cars go, Honda / Acura sport coupes from the 90's and 00's do,
I can definitely see why the Acura Integra R is a car that may appreciate in value over time.
90's broncos and foxbody mustangs have shot up way higher than a lot that are on this list
Yes, a nice unmolested early 90s Mustang GT or LX 5.0 can still be had for $10-15K but going up.
@@jamesbeaman6337 My '92 LX 5.0 cost me $15,000.00 as a dealer-demo vehicle back in '92. I sold it when a guy offered me more than I paid for it.
Especially the 1993 Cobra/Cobra R and the SSP police package.
Last place I'd expect to hear Rockford being mentioned is in a video like this. Strange coincidence my family used to have a CRX around the late 90s-early 00s purchased from a Rockford area guy. It had a horrible exhaust leak and it couldn't idle anymore so a foot had to be on the gas at all times out of gear. Also a neighbor stole the radio out of it which was the last straw to have it junked. Knowing that I'd still own one of any trim level because they feel like little gokarts
Corrados and mk2s are something I never see
1993' D21 Nissan Hardbody 4x4 king cab (V6/5-speed)
Hard to find and definitely going up in value.
I know because people are always trying to buy mine,
By the way the 93' is very rare and highly sought after
One of the best years because it was a mid year model with the newer engine and updated gauge cluster
(previous years has known to melt)
The sheet metal was still non crumple , easier to work on, very few restrictions and sensors.
Also my favorite part is that square 80s dashboard that you can still find in the 93'.
The secret here is Datsun quality was still very present , but after 1994 that's when the quality of these mini trucks started to change.
Many more good things I could list but that's would be for another day..
Very cool! Add low mileage 94-98 Mustang GTs and Cobras to that list. In the next 5 years ..... The Fox bodies are already climbing, and those are next. These are juuuuuust starting to tick up a little for low mileage, pretty stock examples.
*1980-1990 Cadillac's*
Was roughly $3k for a good one in the 90's to mid 2000's
Now, 10k-30k for the same car
*1994-1999 Chevy/GMC 1500 and 2500*
In 2010 a clean 1998 GMC was $4k, now it's $8k-$11k
I'm getting my Jeep XJ next month for my first car :)
You won't be disappointed. I've owned a 2000 limited and a 97 sport. I totaled the 2000 in a crash, but I could kick my own ass for selling the 97 when I needed Lasik eye surgery. The 4.0 is definitely the most reliable gas engine ever built.
@@kalebunderwood8345 glad to hear it man. But I'm sorry about that, it really sucks. Did you have either of them modified?
The 97 had a 3 inch rough country lift kit. It actually rode better than stock.
@@kalebunderwood8345 thanks man good to know
Nice video
cherokee love it found a 95 with 93xxx miles and I own a comanche short bed 135xxx milles love classic cars you won lose money on it
Foxbody Mustangs are going up now.
Remember when they were everywhere?
I just bought a 2000 XJ a few months ago. It is my daily driver
What about the 1994-1999 Chevy Suburban 4x4 K2500 with the 6.5 Diesel?
My 01 XJ Sport stickered our around 24k when new.
Late 90’s original condition Tahoe / Yukon 2 door. They are appreciating, and at this point a good condition non altered example is rare. I have a very clean, basically original 96 Yukon GT that I have had appraised and it’s going up in value.
3rd Gen (96-02) 4Runners hold their value well and nice ones sell very fast.
Scott K. I agree, been wanting one and they are getting spendy. Saw one in my local Craigslist for $18,000 with 269k!
@@juanbarajas5376
Wow that's crazy! Was it heavily modded?
In 2018 I got my 2000 for $5k and it was rust free from Colorado. I've put about $4k into it but it was worth it and it's set for many more years of use.
Scott K. It had an OME lift, other than that it was stock. It was the limited edition
How about the 2008-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac "Adrenalin". I've been shopping them for two or three years, and they seem to be moving upward in price.
I think the 2 door Tahoes from the early 90's will go up eventually! Good thing i just bought one!
MK 2 VW GTI, especially 16v.. even more so ultra rare 2.0 liter 91-92 models
What I think is underfed valued is Chrysler Crossfire hard top
, what are your thoughts. Just FYI is my Sons Car
.
Cool cars. What about an Alfa 916? I’ve just bought a mint V6 busso for £1.5k
What year were those Jeeps ? Model year ? Thru Model year ?
I've lived in Rockford and Janesville, not too bad a commute.
1990-1996 obs and 1994-2000 second gen Cummins
that's an engine, not a vehicle
@Babylon falling You have no idea how bad I would like that
Babylon falling be careful with the cylinder cavitation use coolant additive. Those trucks are nice but nothing really special parts will just get harder and harder to find.
Ferrari 360 "dual clutch" is a single clutch automated manual
Z3 coupe is a true homage to the shooting brake vehicles of yesteryear
GTi’s at that time were 2 doors. And maintaining a Corrado will break the bank. Brutal cars to maintain.
The 916 is a way a better investment than the Corrado, Tourage or any older VW. Unfortunately, they already appreciated in price.
Roman trying to sell the Tourag before it costs him a fortune in repairs and gas-lights us to up the value.
I have a 95 XJ with 255000 miles got it for 2,000 bucks
what about the gen 1 Suzuki sidekick (vitara) ?
Oh Doug, I wish you hadn’t gotten rid of that Viper...
Guys, new pics of the Rubicon fighting version of the bronco just surfaced. Get on it.
We’re on it!
Can't see anything new except bigger tires and fenders unfortunately.
Yeah, but it shows Ford is taking this serious. They are designing the wheel wells to accept 35 inch tires. The Axel and drive train will be strong enough to handle it as well. It's a great sign
Whoops... I just cut the fenders on my previously uncut 2 door Cherokee.
My Jeep has 168k miles I’m parking her before too long. Plan on getting body work and paint done some time next year then I’m just going to let her sit until I can sell it to someone that really wants it, aka someone that’ll pay me more than it’s worth 😂. Im fixated on getting 7-8k just to see if I can, only paid 3k for it
Was not expecting to hear the cities Janesville and Rockford in this video.... I live in Janesville. Did you use to live in the area?
I sold CRX's. The Si was damn sure not $10k. No way. And the cig lighter was an option in the HF and in the base Civic hatch.
A UA-cam video of this kind with some actual data behind their list lol thank you
