See, even though most of you know me as a frugal, financial minimalist who stretches the value of a dollar in every way possible…deep down, I’m obsessed with cars. When it comes to myself, I want to make a distinction: I DON’T mind spending money on things as I enjoy, AS LONG as I believe I’m getting a good deal, or I’m buying something that will hold its value.
See, when most people think about buying a car, they see it as a DEPRECIATING ASSET – meaning, its value goes DOWN over time until, eventually, it winds up in a scrap-yard or repurposed for parts…but, not this.
Certain cars defy the gravity of depreciation, and – just like owning a piece of real estate, or a stock in a successful company – cars CAN, and very much DO – go up in value the longer you own them. In fact, when I started digging deeper – certain cars have even outperformed the stock market, and have made their owners quite a lot of money.
In 2016, it was reported that the value of classic cars increased by 40% in 2014, and by nearly 400% since 2005…not to mention, these cars topped the list for the highest demand “Alternative asset,” outpacing both art and coins….for many, classic cars were seen as a store of value that would appreciate over time.
Then – In 2018, Bloomberg reported that an early employee of Microsoft sold his 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO for $48.4 million dollars, more than 25% higher than the previous record just a few years prior. Hegarty analyzed that the returns for a vintage Ferrari were roughly 300% during the same time that the stock market was up 158%, even with dividends re-invested.
Last year, in 2020, was more of the same, with booming demand for car sales above $1 million dollars.…that was when 18 Hegarty Analysts proposed their top 10 bullish “investment grade” cars that were likely to continue going up in value…and on that list was this very 2005 Ford GT.
Now, obviously – I want to say that I’m not buying this car expecting for it to outperform the stock market, or to be a better return than real estate…I’ll be honest, I would be SHOCKED if this beat a traditional investment, anytime soon…but, for me, as I started researching the car…I began to realize more and more that this was something I could own, ENTIRELY FOR FREE, while getting to enjoy it at the same time.
I was also specifically interested in THIS car because of it’s affordable maintenance…despite it looking like a space-ship, it’s still a Ford car, with Ford parts, and Ford reliability. It’s nowhere near the maintenance cost of Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Aston Martins, or pretty much any other high end car.
Now, as far as the financials of this car that I’m sure you want me to talk about: the final sales price was $306,000, registration is about $500 per year, and insurance is another $1500 per year. Assuming I drive this 1000 miles per year, at 15 miles per gallon…gas should be about $200 per year, and barring any unexpected maintenance…the total out of pocket cost, on average, should be $183 per month.
With tax depreciation, however – that could lead to a $22,000 savings, which would completely cover the out of pocket expense of ownership. If the value goes up, I make money – if it stays the same, it costs me nothing, and if it goes down…I still got to own a piece of automotive history without breaking the bank.

When most of us are bleeding money over the past few weeks the timing of this video feels to be in poor taste. Just my opinion.
Is it really a selling point? Using parts from the Ford focus? One of the cheapest least reliable cars you can buy? 5:10
Not really!!

dont mind me, im just here planting the flag before this video goes crazy viral
I pay around the same for my 2010 f150 for insurance, with no accidents and a clean drivers abstract lol
Canada sucks for insurance
If you write off the depreciation once you sell it you pay capital gains on the difference. Making that income taxable again for that year.
So wait…
you still had to BUY the car right?

Good history lesson bro! Impressive stuff with this Ford GT.
Graham definitely just watched Ford v Ferrari lol
Time for a Nio EP9!
My absolute favorite car! I will own it one day.
I truly enjoyed your analyses on the Ford. Can you do a similar analysis on the 2009 Aston Martin please. Thx.
Thank you for reply. I would truly, greatly appreciate your analysis on the 2009 Aston Martin DBS. I feel in love with the car when I saw it in the James Bond Film Casino Royal and in the intro of Skyfall. If possible, please provide your thoughts and your investment recommendations on cost of maintenance, and if it’s a good investment. Thank you.
@Edward Regalado okay good you can hit me up directly for further assistance on earning if you’re interested
I wanna see graham’s reaction on the returns you can get with historic rifles
Nice
NNNOOOOOO. You should have ended the video with B roll of the car!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would double check your auto insurance. There is no way you have Agreed Value with a limit of 300k at $1,500 a year. You’re likely in for a big surprise on the cost to insure once you look into this.
Graham between 2:50-4:40 your main theme piano 🎹 song 🎶 would like to know who the artist of it , thank you 🙏🏾 sir

Graham, if you focus too much on not spending money in order to have more money for your future, you will forget to actually enjoy your success!
Im glad u bought this car
@Graham Stephan do something with ur life ◡̈
This video should be titled “let’s see how many ads I can pack into a 10 minute vid”
Backdrop for your business lol. Try telling the IRS that.
Congrats!!
I love cars too!
wow your insurance is only 100 bucks more than what I pay for my 2011 Lotus Evora…worth about 260K less than the Ford GT lol. i also bought this car used and, if I sell it, will probably realize almost no depreciation. congrats on the car.

Be honest with yourself about where you are right now in your investing journey and where you want to go. Are you looking to establish a retirement fund and focus on passive investments that will generate tax-free income in an IRA or 401(k)? Do you want to try your hand at day-trading but don’t know where to start? Do you like the idea of tweaking and tailoring your own portfolio, my advise for you is to adopt the trade signal of an investment expert it’s really profitable
@Aabidullah Maajid It’s very profitable, she made me my first millions and i’m buying my 3rd home in few days .
@Christina Ryan Wow that’s great, please how can i reach her ? i will like to invest my savings to make more money
@Christina Ryan
Trading is very profitable with the help of a seasoned broker managing your trading account 😊😊😊
@Aabidullah Maajid You can only reach her from her official web page , just search with her full name online.
@Christina Ryan i just found her web site and have dropped a message for her ..thanks for the information

ill never forget when I was about 10 years old or so, It was a Saturday afternoon going to return some movies at block buster when I saw a red ford GT with white stripes park right upfront at the curb and the guy just casually hop out and return his movie as well.
blew my mind, they’re pieces of art
Awesome video and congrats! If you do sell, then the IRS gets you with depreciation recapture.

Hey Graham, I went to purchase the course and the coupon code doesn’t work. Just a heads up
Yeah cool story Graham but you forgot to mention that in order to drive this car “for free” you do need to actually have 300K and have an actual business to support the tax write off. Then you have to take into account the loss of investment opportunity in other commodity’s and then you paint an actual realistic picture of what it “costs” to own a Ford GT.
Nothing wrong with making a cool video or having something to show for your success that you actually feel something about but you’re better than this, dude.

Hi Graham. So i seen this tik tok where this guy created an app that lets you invest $1 into the company you use when you use them for exp. Buy a bigmac, invest $1 into mcdonalds. I was just wanting to know what you thought about this idea??
We want a car video driving and doing fun stuff. Congrats

Congrats Graham! 😀
If you are depreciating the car on your business taxes, then it’s now a business asset, and should you ever sell it for a higher value, you’d have to recapture all the depreciation you’ve taken as ordinary income + capital gains tax on the excess of your sale price over your purchase price.
Hope you’re keeping it forever
