7 Cars That Became Stupidly Expensive!! 💵

seven cars that became stupidly expensive like everything car values have boom and bust cycles just ten years ago you could guess an old Lamborghini if not much more than 40,000 pounds if you wants alone an important piece of motoring history a car with racing heritage or a rare special model you should pay extra for the privilege however some cars produced in large numbers have still managed to become insanely expensive let's get right into the video number one volkswagen t1 the t1 phenomenon is a perfect example of an ordinary slow and pretty much useless vehicle becoming an expensive item overnight Volkswagens t1 buses pickups and vans from 1947 through to 1967 and made millions of them commonly known as the hippie van the t1 was a cheap and versatile utility vehicle which led a hard life is a delivery truck or a minibus powered by a 1.5 liter flat 4 engine could see one only has 42 horsepower making it painfully slow but durable and economical by all means this model should be forgotten about since Volkswagen moved on as a company and the market invented minivans and cropper pickup trucks but somehow its popularity skyrocketed since the early 2000s the most sought-after version the rare Samba minibus recently fetched a hundred and ninety-eight thousand dollars to auction even the much more common models in good condition can reach fifty thousand dollars number two BMW m3 e30 in 1985 the motoring world witnessed the birth of a performance legend the bmw m3 the car was based on a regular a 33 series but featured numerous upgrades different body panels revised suspension and a high-revving 2.3 liter four cylinder engine with 195 horsepower in the early model and 238 in later versions the e30 m3 soon became a racing legend and the world's Touring Car championships winning practically every championship is entered and securing its place in motoring history in the early nineties however it was replaced by a more mature and faster e36 m3 and was soon forgotten about as the values went down the e 30s were being bought up by Rice's with some terrible modifications being done not so long ago you could buy a decent e30 m3 for as little as eight thousand pounds or dollars thanks to the classic car boom and the realization of its nimble handling ref happy engine and beautifully and a lot of driving dynamics the process starts it's a rice today nice examples are around 40,000 pounds and if you're looking for a rare sports evolution model be prepared to pay close to 90,000 a rather large sum for a car that could be beaten by a modern diesel hatchback number three Ford Sierra RS Cosworth introduced in 1986 and produced until 1989 the RS Cosworth was a proper blue-collar sports car builds on a three-door sierra platform with rear-wheel drive the Kazi featured a 2-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder with 204 to 224 horsepower on tap with a big spoiler a totally ACS body kit and powerful engine with lots of turbo lag the RS Cosworth were a proper handful to drive built as a homologation special for rally racing the Cosworth wasn't that successful on the track but it remained a favorite as a boy racer model throughout the 90s but yes the prices of RS Cosworth were below 10,000 pounds if you want one now hard-luck has to buy an RS Cosworth in decent condition you're gonna have to fork out more than 30,000 pounds Ferreira RS Cosworth 500 models it's gonna cost you more than 50000 for you Americans out there you're gonna have to sit this one out they didn't bother importing it for some reason number 4 Porsche and 911 riding on top of the wave of insane prices is the Porsche 911 practically all classic models from the early 60s to late 90s have experienced a massive price rise which has turned them from affordable plastics to high-priced collector's cars strangely Porsche has produced more than a million 911 Sauveur the years so the cars are fairly abundant the early models are nice to look at but of course very slow noisy and rust-prone these days you can get a three-year-old 911 but the same as at a C classic of the late 70s and early 80s of course the Internet has spread the joys of the air-cooled Porsche but they also had dream car status for the kids back then some of which are now wealthy adults what would you rather have a ten-year-old Porsche or a 40 year old Porsche number five Lancia Delta HF Integrale notoriously unreliable but amazingly handsome the Delta HF Integrale was arguably the biggest rally legend of the 90s winning numerous championships in its road-going form it was a very capable hot hatch with a 2-liter turbocharged engine and perfectly balanced all-wheel drive Italian build quality and the high-strung nature of the car meant it was expensive and complicated to maintain and it also had rust issues Lancia produced over 40,000 Delta integrals from 1986 to 1994 which meant there were a lot of them around in the early 2000s decent examples of this 200 horsepower hot hatch could be bought for as little as four thousand pounds today the situation is quite different with solid examples changing hands for 30,000 pounds top-of-the-line models can go for an astronomical fifty thousand pounds but don't be fooled the HF Integrale are still as unreliable as ever but for new owners it's likely a long-term investment rather than a daily driver number six ferrari 308 GTB everyone thinks Ferraris are expensive and these days they're probably right that hasn't always been the case however the Ferrari 308 from the late seventies and early eighties was for a while the cheapest way of owning a proper Ferrari the years this model hovered around the 20,000 pound mark making it's actually fairly affordable the compact sports car offered pretty analogue driving experience and sharp handling although hardly groundbreaking performance with a nought to 60 of 7.5 seconds the 308 was however a proper Ferrari and for just 20 grand it offered a ticket to the exclusive Ferrari owners club in 2017 in those days are gone I'm afraid and today a decent 308 GTB cost 60 K or more some later versions fetch even higher prices and experts say that those models had even reached six figures before long doesn't that seem like a pretty crazy figure for a slow Ferrari especially one that they made over 12,000 number seven Mercedes SL pagoda it is understandable that a Mercedes 300sl Gullwing costs half a million dollars since it is a fantastically rare piece of racing history with unique features and gorgeous design how you might ask does that explain the Mercedes 280 SL which now costs over a hundred and ten thousand pounds with modest performance no racing history and a lofty production number of 40,000 examples it seems hard to fathom why this classic is now so expensive the pagoda generation of the Mercedes SL was sold from 1963 to 1971 and featured six-cylinder engines with a removable hardtop it was a comfy cruiser with decent driving characteristics but hardly a performance machine smaller and slower than a later are 107 SL model the pagoda was around 15,000 pounds in the early 2000s which seemed appropriate in just a few years however the prices for nice examples have risen to the 50,000 pound mark with top-of-the-line models now trading for well over a hundred thousand so there you are which cars did I miss would you buy a classic or a newer car let me know in the comments below Cheers [Music]
