Most cars tend to lose value over time, which is generally known as depreciation. But vintage and collectible cars can sometimes do the opposite. Because of their popularity, rarity, or special features, some cars could increase in value over time. But owning a collectible car comes with additional expenses of insurance, maintenance, and storage that many other investments do not have. Nicholas Cage went on a buying spree that included exotic cars and it ended up not working in his favor partially due to these additional expenses. It is possible for cars to be a good investment, but it requires a certain amount of expertise or luck to understand which cars are a good investment option and which are not.
