Theres no way id buy a new car and pray like hell itll be viable to park up for 50 years and return a nice little nest egg
Very risky ,no doubt considering they dropped value once left the lot

Should have been unearthed few years ago when people were paying better money...
Its amazing how much money you can save when you dont have/need to buy internet, phones, tvs, music, dvds, alcohol, take away etc etc...
