Classic sports cars not only inspire with their unique aesthetics, their puristic driving behavior or their unadulterated sound, but also delight collectors and enthusiasts above all with their high value retention. Exclusive oldtimers, primarily German and Italian specimens, have a particularly high potential for appreciation and are therefore ideally suited as an alternative investment.
In this guide you can read which properties make the classic car investment method so unique and which financial advantages result from the taxation and insurance of classic sports cars. We also provide you with important information that you should definitely consider when buying a classic so that your investment in a classic car is a complete success.
The advantages of vintage cars as an investment are obvious. Unlike stocks, a unique, classic automobile conveys an emotional value. It develops its own dynamic - an investment that can be experienced. The automotive investment alternative oldtimer offers the owner a tangible asset with steady growth and protection against inflation. In addition, classic cars are not directly linked to other financial stocks and are therefore both secure and unrelated.
Hardly any other investment manages the balancing act between safety and thrills as well as the exciting oldtimer investment method, which on the one hand increases value and on the other hand delivers everyday driving pleasure. When buying a well-kept classic, besides the financial aspect, the fun factor is in the foreground. A selected vintage car combines hobby, leisure and passion with the serious demands on an investment.
Since a classic sports car needs far less complicated technology than its modern counterpart, it can also be moved easily in everyday life. The predominantly mechanical nature not only makes the maintenance of an oldies easier, but also enables owners with sufficient specialist knowledge to carry out minor repairs on their vehicle themselves.
Connoisseurs and lovers of classic automobiles know that with the right care you can secure the value of a classic car and increase it in the long term. Anyone who can also rely on a specialized workshop for vehicle maintenance is far more relaxed about the bright future of their oldies. At B&K, we are happy to provide you with advice and assistance when you buy or maintain classic cars. Our portfolio contains a variety of classic automobiles to fall in love with. Discover now!
Thanks to lump-sum taxation and advantageous insurance premiums, owning a classic car is not only extremely cheap, but also particularly predictable as a financial investment. Only those who attach the mandatory historical license plate, or H license plate for short, to their vehicle can enjoy a tax advantage for classic cars. It certifies that the condition and originality of the car, which is at least 30 years old, has been certified by an expert in the form of a classic car report.
The H license plate is also available as a seasonal license plate, further lowers the vehicle tax amount and is equally suitable for drivers of classic convertibles and those who only move their classic cars in the dry months and want to protect them from ice and snow. We recommend our article as accompanying reading on this topic Sports car in winter - the guide to all things cold, snow and ice.
Vehicles with historical license plates do not have to undergo an emissions test, nor have a particulate matter sticker, and are not subject to any driving bans until further notice. The legislator assumes that these vehicles are only rarely driven in order to protect them, not every day, and also assigns them a historical and cultural value that needs to be preserved.
Anyone who insures their oldtimer as a second car and only covers a certain distance of kilometers per year with their precious classic only pays a very low monthly premium with most insurance companies despite fully comprehensive coverage. A garage parking space is welcome at the insurer, can reduce the monthly insurance premium and increase the value of the safely stored vehicle in the long term.
As with other investments, there are a few basics to keep in mind when investing in classic cars. Like everyone else, the market for classic automobiles is determined by supply and demand. The most important factors influencing the value of a historic vehicle are the manufacturer and the vehicle model, but parameters such as initial registration and mileage, engine and special equipment as well as maintenance history and general condition also play a central role.
On the advice of classic car experts, a derivative that is as rare as possible should be chosen for a desired increase in value, because the more exclusive the classic car, the better the prospect of a lush return. You should also ensure that the service book of the selected vehicle does not have any questionable gaps and that any restorations carried out on the car are backed up with evidence of professional execution. If the inside and outside of the classic car indicate a regular and well-groomed appearance, nothing stands in the way of buying the investment on four wheels.
If you are not familiar with classic motor vehicles, you should consult a certified expert when making a purchase. At B&K, we can use our many years of expertise to make the decision-making process easier for you to make your dream of a classic sports car come true. Our wide range of selected and instantly available classic cars certainly has the right model for you. All vehicles available from B&K Sportwagen are in first-class condition, have a complete history and extensive potential for appreciation - ideal for your entry or the continuation of the oldtimer investment.
In the Südwestbank oldtimer index, selected classics from Baden-Württemberg production have been proving their long-term quality as an alternative investment for years. German automobile manufacturers like Porsche and Mercedes are particularly popular with collectors and enthusiasts of classic motor vehicles.
In addition to the German, especially Swabian classics with understatement, Italian oldtimers offer more conspicuous extravagance with comparable value retention. For those who prefer to invest their money in a classic sports car from Italy, we offer unusual models from the brands Lamborghini, Ferrari and Maserati.
Investing in vintage cars is a unique and proven investment method that makes driving fun while also offering protection against inflation. Anyone who buys a classic sports car in a well-maintained condition and treats it with care from now on can expect a not inconsiderable increase in value. The costs for maintaining classic sports cars remain manageable and easy to calculate thanks to the H license plate, flat taxation and inexpensive classic car insurance.
When buying, we primarily recommend German and Italian classic cars, which enjoy great popularity with collectors and enthusiasts and have proven and established themselves in terms of increased value over the past few years. When choosing a vehicle, you should be on the lookout for an accident-free exhibit with a complete maintenance history, low mileage and very good general condition in order to create an ideal basis for your investment with a high-yield future.
